I chose Maxim over other options primarily because of Mariah's exceptional communication and attentive care. A representative got in touch with me the day I inquired, and I met Mariah shortly after in person. Her quick responsiveness and commitment to my needs influenced me to select a local option over an overseas alternative, and I am very pleased with my choice. Sia, the surgeon at Maxim, was outstanding, and I highly recommend her services. The office was impeccably clean and inviting, demonstrating a high level of professionalism. Sia helped me achieve the precise hairline I desired. Both Mariah and Sia excel in their respective abilities, outstanding communication, and compassionate care, providing quick responses and personalized attention, that you cannot get overseas.

Caleb Williams

Maxim of Lakewood Ranch, was the beat decision I could of made, Sia and Miriah have not only answered every question but through the whole process have been there checking up and guiding me through the process. They seem like family members who truly and sincerely care. Very maternal and put me at ease. Wish I would of known how easy this process was would of done it years ago, but then again I wouldn't have had Sias wonderful art work. She can create the look u would love. I highly recommend them.
