Maxwell D. Newby, MD

My primary objective is to foster open communication with you and your family to fully understand your concerns as we develop a treatment strategy. I approach health care with the same compassion and attentiveness I would desire for my own family. To ensure effective communication, especially with young patients, I use visual aids (such as diagrams and pictures) while engaging in teaching and attentive listening. The privilege of caring for children comes with a profound responsibility, and I approach it with utmost seriousness, emphasizing mutual respect.

A lifelong curiosity about the workings of various phenomena led me to study science in college. During this educational journey I had a profound realization about the unparalleled impact of the patient-doctor relationship. The revelation motivated me to focus on medicine, specifically otolaryngology, and such essential human functions as eating, hearing, breathing and facial expressions. The unique power of healing and caring for patients ultimately drove me to become a physician in this specialty.

As I settle into the Lehigh Valley I am engaging in local initiatives, including involvement with my church. Earlier, I contributed to free health care clinics and conducted head and neck screenings as part of my commitment to medical humanitarian efforts. My ultimate aspiration is to become an advocate and leader within the community, specifically as a pediatric otolaryngologist, to champion the well-being of our children and their families.

Outside of my medical practice, I cherish time with my family, embracing the beauty of Pennsylvania and all it has to offer. I have a passion for traveling and find fulfillment in reading. My active lifestyle also includes soccer, which nurtures both my physical and mental well-being. My family and I are considering welcoming a new pet into our lives, further enriching our bond and home.
