Andrew J Maxwell, MD

Dr. Maxwell has been my sister’s cardiologist for years, and I am a former patient as well. There are nothing but good things to say about our experience: he is a very compassionate and knowledgeable doctor, and has always demonstrated genuine care for our wellbeing, something we are deeply appreciative of.
The first thing I noticed when I stepped into his office for the very first time is that it’s likely the cleanest and nicest I’ve ever been in. It bears a very comforting atmosphere for children, which is something that parents can appreciate. Both he and his staff are always friendly and professional with patients and their families, and you can tell that it’s because they genuinely care. They take their time making sure that patients and families feel comfortable and secure, and all their questions answered.
I highly recommend Dr. Maxwell to anyone and everyone in need of a cardiologist, with the fullest confidence that they would be in the best hands possible.

Had to bring my 4-​month old daughter by his office last Friday, and I am impressed with the staff, the toys, the entertainment for the kiddos, pictures on the walls, etc. This place is SPOTLESS, and had enough «stuff» to entertain my 2 year old who came with us.
Dr. Maxwell is friendly, but very serious about his job. Almost a little too serious since he made little to no communication to our little ones. He came in, introduced himself to us, took a look at the screens, said hello to the kids, then started doing what he needed to do, with a straight face the whole time. Did he find something bad? Didn’t find anything at all? Show me some expression!!! Eventually after 15 minutes of looking at our baby, he finally decided to talk to us and said everything was good! PHHEEEW! RELIEF! Maybe its just his personality or the way he likes to work… not mad, but wish he would smile a little more.
On a really bright note, he actually showed my toddler out to their treasure chest to get a toy, and one of the staff ended up getting down on a knee and showing my daughter the different stickers she could have along with a loli-​pop. We all left the office feeling good and happy! Awesome cardiologist office from top to bottom.

Dr. Maxwell became my child’s cardiologist when he was just a few hours old. Through the years, I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Maxwell. He is knowledgeable, professional, and is great with his patients and their families.
He not only works out of his main office in Pleasanton, but he has several clinics in the Bay Area that he regularly visits, from San Mateo to Tracy to Brentwood.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatric cardiologist.

As a holistic nutritionist I am so grateful to have found a pediatric doctor I can work with who is committed to helping his patients through healthy eating and exercise. Dr. Maxwell runs the Kids In Action program through his clinic to help kids get back their health and reduce their need for medication. I have found his office to be friendly and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Maxwell and the Kids In Action program.

Actually deserve 0 stars. Absolutely no customer service, no response to patients, no test results, nothing, even if you call and ask. They supposedly sent a heart monitor to their Fremont office three times, but not once was it there when I went to get it. Once I got the monitor, it took me a few weeks to get the results. I was even copied on an email from one of his employees requesting he contact me, but it wasn’t until I sent an email saying he hadn’t called that he finally got in touch.
Do yourself a favor and find a pediatric cardiologist at Children’s Hospital in Oakland instead of dealing with this practice. It might be more of a drive, but at least you’ll get the medical care your child deserves. His office manager might care (because he’ll call and ask for your money), but Dr. Maxwell definitely doesn’t.

Dr Maxwell is great with children and makes a parent feel secure and comfortable about their child’s care. A father and former athlete himself he understands children. Prenatal and Athletic cardio screening available. You’re in good hands with Dr Maxwell and staff.
