Support the 2024 Campaign to Save Lives in honor of our physicians, nurses, and care teams
When you give to the 2024 Campaign to Save Lives, you’ll have an opportunity to send a special note of gratitude to the extraordinary physicians, nurses, and care teams at Pardee in honor of National Doctors’ Day. These are people like …
Erik Olsson, MD, is an orthopedic spine surgeon who became a doctor because he wanted to help people return to healthy, active lifestyles. “I enjoy taking care of patients with simple and complex cervical spine issues and seeing them regain function that is often lost due to compression of nerves and/or the spinal cord,” says Dr. Olsson. “Spine surgery is the most complex surgery being performed at Pardee, and private donations can help support technology to make these procedures safer and less invasive.”
“Without donations, Pardee would not have the equipment they need and their ability to bring in high-level experts, such as Dr. Olsson, would be diminished.”
– Bill Brotherton, patient of Dr. Olsson
As an orthopedic spine surgeon, Keith Maxwell, MD, is deeply devoted to the treatment and well-being of his patients. “My approach to practicing medicine involves putting the patient first,” says Dr. Maxwell. “Becoming a friend to my patient … working with them together to develop a plan that’s best for their health and their condition. I try to treat all my patients as if they’re people that I’m related to or I go to church with. That makes me accountable, and I like that.”
“I was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis. I chose to go see Dr. Maxwell. I knew several of his patients, and they all highly recommended him. I liked him from the beginning. He is so compassionate about his patients and strives to help them maintain their quality of life. I cannot say enough about him.”
– Tina Penland, patient of Dr. Maxwell
