Nicholas Maxwell, PA-C joined Midwest Medical Specialists in October of 2018. Nicholas is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants.
Born and raised in Platte City, MO where at a young age, I was given a foundation of the importance of perseverance, determination, and compassion. My wife and I are now doing our best to instill these values in our two boys as we raise them in the Northland. I take pride in practicing medicine in a community that has given me the tools to give back, and provide for those who have helped me along the way. It is truly a blessing to care for such a diverse, hard working, and enjoyable patient base that is the Northland. I am committed to continued growth and learning as I expand my practice, and look forward to the opportunity to provide the same care that this community has given to me and my family for many years.

NOTE: A physician assistant is a health care professional trained in an intensive education program. PAs are licensed by the state or credentialed by a federal employer to practice medicine with the supervision of a physician. As part of their comprehensive responsibilities, PAs perform physical exams, diagnose conditions and illnesses, develop and carry out treatment plans, order and interpret lab tests, suture, assist in surgery, provide patient education, counsel on preventive health care and can prescribe medications in virtually all states. Supervising physicians work closely with their PAs to determine which patients and conditions they want them to treat. Close consultation between the physician, PA and patient is utilized for unusual or hard-to-manage patients. To remain nationally certified, PAs must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every 2 years and must pass a national recertification examination every 6 years.
