Dr Muxlow and his team are top notch. He always listens to my concerns and gives me all information to make an informed decision on my care. The receptionist at the Dawsonville location is the best of the best. Always addresses me by name and is so friendly. I can't say enough good things about the Dawsonville office and staff.

Dr. Muxlow performed great surgery on my left shoulder. We discussed my right shoulder and decided to proceed with surgery on it. My left shoulder is doing great now and going through the surgery again is worth the hassle.

Dr Muxlow is an outstanding doctor and surgeon. Happy that I was able to have him as the one diagnosing and giving me hope towards a full recovery from this injury. Courteous, professional and seems to have both an interest in my care and a desire to see me fully recovered and back to my normal chaotic lifestyle.

Dr. Muxlow is the third orthopedic surgeon I've seen about my shoulder. I was extremely impressed with him and the information he provided. He came recommended from the neurosurgeon I used with NEGP earlier this year. I'm extremely impressed with NEGP.

Muxlow and staff were very attentive and helpful. There was some confusion about when to stop OTC medication. Maybe clarify that OTC medicines should also be discontinued prior to surgery.
