Dr. Olubukola Maxwell

Dr. Olubukola Maxwell strongly believes that prevention is key to a healthy community. As a family physician in Grande Prairie, she’s well positioned to help her patients focus on health promotion as part of their everyday lives. 

The patient who nominated Dr. Maxwell certainly appreciates her:

“I believe my family doctor is the epitome of what a physician should be in Alberta. She is professional, yet empathetic. Knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. She takes the time to listen, and then she shares her wisdom and direction. She makes appropriate referrals, informing me of what to expect /next steps so I feel like a partner in my care.” 

"What sets her apart aside from these excellent qualities is her accountability and devotion. She has personally called me after 8 p.m. at night on three separate occasions, following up on results after putting in a full day in clinic. I do not know how she sustains this level of service. I would so very much appreciate it if she could be recognized for her outstanding service.”

“On a personal note, she is the reason I have received early diagnosis and referral for treatment of breast cancer. She is changing and saving lives one patient at a time, for which I am eternally grateful.”
