2026 Medical Honoree
Dr. David B. Maxwell
The Social Butterflies Foundation is proud to recognize Dr. David B. Maxwell as our 2026 Butterfly Walk for Lupus & Fibro Medical Honoree. Selected through nominations and votes submitted by members of our lupus and fibromyalgia community, this honor reflects the profound impact Dr. Maxwell has made in the lives of his patients. A fellowship-trained, board-certified rheumatologist, Dr. Maxwell specializes in the treatment of lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, and other autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. Throughout his distinguished career, he has combined exceptional medical expertise with genuine compassion, taking the time to listen, educate, and provide hope to every patient he serves. Beyond caring for countless individuals and families, he has helped advance rheumatology through clinical research, medical education, and more than two decades of mentoring future healthcare professionals. For many, Dr. Maxwell is more than a physician—he is a trusted advocate, a source of encouragement, and a lifesaver. It is our privilege to honor his unwavering commitment to improving the lives of those living with lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
