Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highest Praise for Dr. Max
I met Dr. Max after being diagnosed with cancer and needing complex reconstructive surgery. He is skillful, talented, kind, compassionate, and pleasant. I was in his care for a year and a half, and felt well-cared for and listened to. And my extensive surgical scars are now nearly invisible.

I'm truly thankful for Dr. Pekarev, he did a skin graft surgery on my stomach. It has healed very well and so has the donor site. I didn't think it would look as good as it does, however with his expertise I'm completely satisfied. He and his staff are pleasant, amazing,caring and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor and his staff, you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Pekarev, I am forever grateful.

Very pleased with this doctor. Excellent quality work, attentive, and just a pretty fun guy. Office visits have been fast. I did have to wait a few minutes once. IIf I could change one thing, I'd have him get his own XRay machine, as it's a hassle going to the 3rd party X-ray, but I'm not dinging him for that.

Broken hand guy in Fort Worth – Jan 05, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Pekarev?
I absolutely love and respect Dr Max and his whole team. After a horrible accident left my lower right limb mangled, he and my orthopedic surgeon worked hand in hand to restore my foot. His staff is friendly and the wait is never long at the office. He came to see me every single day in the hospital. Dr Max is skilled and incredibly passionate about what he does. He has shed a whole new light on the field of reconstructive surgery in my life! Thank you so much for making me a new foot! -Molly

I first met Dr. Max through unfortunate circumstances after I was involved in a car crash leading to multiple bones in my face and hand that were broken. He patiently performed multiple surgeries and saw me frequently in clinic. I cannot thank him and his team enough for my recovery from such a traumatic experience. I followed up with a breast lift and implants since I felt I was given another chance and again could not be happier with precise work. My life is great and I am truly grateful.

Max is an awesome guy. I went to several other doctors but none of them provided the kindness and comfort that he did. My nose is healing really nicely. He did exactly what we talked about and made it look like it is my natural nose but better. I would definitely see him again if I wanted any future work done

I had cancer removed from my groin and was not healing. Three months had gone by and still no healing. I was referred to Dr. Max and went to see him. I expected him to tell me that he couldn't help me. When he looked over my wounds, his expression didn't look promising. I started crying thinking I would have the huge 9inch hole for the rest of my life. When he finally spoke, he said "I can help you." I started crying because at that point I felt hope for the first time in months . He healed me.?

Not so much with Dr Max. Ask about MRSA and your risk when considering him. Paid for surgery, had surgery, told him something was wrong, was told it was just me, ended up with MRSA and hospital bills and no implants besides the 20,000 it has cost me so far...Not so much

Dr. Max is not only an outstanding surgeon, he is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He was brought in on my case when my surgeon was unable to close my abdomen due to swelling after cancer surgery. Dr. Max monitored my wound until my body was strong enough for additional surgery. He was able to close the wound with skin grafts. He and his staff are amazing! Thank you Dr. Max!

Dr. Max is a great physician. He has a great bedside manner & makes you feel very comfortable. I had a raised mole take off of the end of my nose. My nose looks perfect like I never had anything done to it. He has very friendly office staff that goes out of their way to accommodate each patients need. Highly recommend this physician and his staff!

Dr. Max saved my leg and hand after a horrible accident with an 18 wheeler a few months ago. He used cutting edge technology and forward thinking. He is always legitimately excited and thrilled to see me and my progress at each appointment. He sits down with me and my husband and answers each of our questions in great detail and makes sure we understand exactly what the plan is. He is compassionate, upbeat, and most importantly an excellent doctor. I would recommend him to EVERYONE.

I would like to think Dr. Max and his staff for the great care I received! I was in a motorcycle accident on Sept 26, 2015 and fractured the second metacarpal bone on my left hand, which required surgery and pin placement to heal properly. My left hand is back good as new, which is great - I really need that hand to play my guitar and operate the clutch on my motorcycle! :O)

Our 6 month old at the time had an accident and was in need of surgery on his face, Dr. Max was very comforting, and had a wonderful bedside manner. Our now nine month old has very little scarring, is looking better everyday, and always very happy to visit the staff for follow up appointments! Couldn't be more happy with Dr. Max and staff!

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I have been to two other surgeons for consults and cannot describe in words Dr. Max's bedside manner! The office staff Casey and Khloe were very professional and placed me at ease. Dr. Max reviewed his surgical plan and my mom body has been transformed!!!! So grateful to them as this was the turning point I needed.
