About / Overview

Dr. Kyle Maxwell is a pediatrician who believes that caring for kids is equal parts science, heart, and a good sense of humor. He brings a calm, thoughtful presence to Erlanger Bledsoe's youngest patients—along with an uncanny ability to tell whether a toddler's tears are about a sore throat or the injustice of naptime. Dr. Maxwell was born and raised in the Chattanooga area, earned his medical degree at Marshall University in Huntington, WV, and completed his Pediatric residency at Virginia Commonwealth University Children's Hospital of Richmond in Richmond, VA, in 2023. There, he honed his skills in everything from newborn care to adolescent medicine, learning to decipher baby cries and teenage eye-rolls with equal fluency.

He practices preventive medicine with an evidence-based approach, focusing on mental health. Dr. Maxwell will see any pediatric issues, from regular well child visits to common pediatric ailments. His mental health focus stems from a love of psychiatric medicine and seeing the need in the pediatric community for psychiatric outreach. He enjoys being both an ear to listen to those in need and watching his patients improve their own mental health, becoming more prepared for the adult world as they enter it. Outside of the office, Dr. Maxwell enjoys video and tabletop gaming, cooking, and spending time with his wife, Erica, two children, Sydney and Jack, and their chaotic pets, Arwen, Stormy, and Strahd.
