About Maxwell Kwaku MD
Maxwell P. Kwaku, MD, is a board-certified endocrinologist at UT Health East Texas Physicians North Campus Tyler. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related disorders such as diabetes, thyroid, adrenal and pituitary diseases. He utilizes a team approach to health management, incorporating the services of other specialists and healthcare professionals. Dr. Kwaku also focuses on patient education.
“My approach is to provide as much information as possible to my patients, so they can control their disease and assist in their own health management. Diabetes is a lifelong, 24-hour-a-day disease. You only see a doctor once every three months. You have to know enough about the disease so that you can do things for yourself between doctor visits. I am dedicated to patient care, and my goal is to help my patients live normal lives in spite of their diseases.”
Dr. Kwaku is employed as a clinical faculty physician at The University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.

I have been dealing with my chronic illness for almost 2 years, this is the first time that an entire office has listened to me. Doctors email before I even get home, nurses respond almost immediately. And I 55 years old and I have never had a doctor walk me to the check out area and let them know what needs to happen.
