Q&A with Dr. Maxwell

What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

The Lion King

What is your favorite children's book and why?

"Go Dog Go" because my dad read it to us as kids and I had the honor of doing the same for my son! "It's a dog party!"

What was your favorite childhood toy?

Cabbage Patch Kids

Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

My greatest inspiration is my mom. She was raised on a farm in a rural part of Jamaica, faced many challenges, and is now a cancer survivor. Through it all she remains hopeful, motivated, and continues to put family and faith first.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

Swimming, traveling, enjoying live music, spending time with family and friends

What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

My father, a fellow pediatrician, inspired me to work in the field. I spent many days visiting him as he cared for premature babies in the ICU and knew from a very young age that pediatrics was my calling.
I truly enjoy serving the children of our communities. I love seeing the wonders of the world on their faces as they grow and feel it is a privilege and honor to be a small part of their growth & development.

What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?

I see every patient and family as if they were my own. Their sons and daughters are mine too. As I help guide patients and their families in important decisions regarding their mental, emotional, and physical health, I try to always understand their background and family dynamic, as we work as a team to serve them in the best way possible.

I’d still choose this specific location even if Dr. Beveridge was unable to see either child.

Our overall visit was a 10/10 November 13, 2025. I saw some new faces. Everyone was knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with. Dr. George Beveridge is my kids doctor. I’d still choose this specific location even if Dr. Beveridge was unable to see either child. When we are asked if we would like to wait to for Dr. Beveridge, we definitely wait. Thank you to all of the staff. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Have been coming here for 23 years.

Absolutely amazing team of staff and doctors on board. Have been coming here for 23 years. As a preteen myself with Dr Fablaus and now for my child with Dr. Beveridge. Dr. Beveridge has been a god send in more ways than one for my child and a true life saver. Always on point when it comes to assessment skills and 10 steps ahead with any and every diagnosis.

she always makes us feel welcome and comfortable.

As a parent, I can’t thank Dr. Maxwell at Pediatric Associates enough for the care and kindness she shows my child. From the moment we walk into the office, she always makes us feel welcome and comfortable. She takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and never rushes through our visits. What stands out most is how gentle and patient she is with children — my little one actually enjoys going to see her! You can tell she truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re healthy and happy. The staff at Pediatric Associates are also wonderful — friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The office is clean, organized, and runs so smoothly. As a parent, it’s such a relief to know my child is in such good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Maxwell to any parent looking for a pediatrician who truly cares.

Dr. Maxwell is an amazing doctor for my 3 children.

Dr. Maxwell is an amazing doctor for my 3 children. She is professional, compassionate, and courteous. The wait, however, at this office is way too long. Even when we schedule the first appointment of the morning it took us 2 hours.
