Spine Surgeons who are Physicians - Newton, NC

"First let me state my 56 year old mother didn't make it off the table under Maxy's knife. She had been having neck pain for 8 years and every Dr. She saw said they wouldn't touch her neck. Her original Dr. Left town and refered her to Maxy. His God ego kicked in and said he would do the surgery bc according to him he's done thousands. All other DR's said she was too high risk and would have a longer life making her as comfortable as possible. This transition happened during Covid so Maxy is the only "Dr" I didn't get to speak with in person about her situation and his plans bc the referral came less than two weeks before she was scheduled to have the surgery after meeting him once. I have Power of Attorney, I'm next of kin, I'm also emergency contact. This surgery should have never happened without me speaking with this person first. My number has been the same for 15-16 years but on the day of surgery I got absolutely no updates about her surgery after about 8-9hrs I started calling getting no one to speak with me bc it was one day surgery and they were closed so finally an operator connected me to the OR and I spoke with a nurse in the room. She stated Maxy wanted to speak with me personally because they ran into some complications. He called me back about and hr or hr and a half later more worried about telling me they had been trying to reach me with up dates all day but I didn't give my number to the OR nurse so obviously they had the correct number if he called me back from where I called. His attitude on how successful his part went was mind blowing knowing he let my mother bleed out over 5,000ml bc of hitting a bubble (aneurysm) then having to get another Dr in to fix his mess took way too long. They had to use a minx stint going through her growin bc they couldn't figure out what he hit to cause her to bleed so much. Very careless practice. The stint caused her to have multiple strokes which then lead to her brain DEATH. They waited til the next day to airlift her. Assuring me she's only on the ventilator for safety reasons and he also (Maxy) said they were keeping her in ICU so she could have a nurse close by after the surgery making no real acknowledgment of what he had just done. It was just water under the bridge. This man took my mother's life way too early and assumed a Neurosurgeon would fix his mistake but once gotten to Mission they said the damages were done and there's nothing could be done. Maxy kept calling her nurses at Mission wanting to know what was going on but bc he didn't have permission to get updates they couldn't tell him. He was calling my cell (her daughter) as well bc I think he finally realized he messed up BIG TIME!!! The God ego of these DR's have got to stop. My mother should have never been in that OR, Maxy should have gotten to know her history longer than 2-3 weeks of having her as a patient before even considering doing this surgery. I don't believe any real Dr would have ever done this surgery on a patient with her history. This was MALPRACTICE at it's finest. I now get to have a funeral for my mother, my children's Nana all because money is so important over human life. Thanks our family truly appreciates you. Death(murder), confusion, debt, pain all in your honor"
