One of the ways MaxiAids makes sure the staff stays informed about the newest products and latest technologies is through ongoing training.

MaxiAids’ experienced and knowledgeable team members answer countless customer questions every day by telephone, fax, email, facebook and twitter.

Mr. Zaretsky believes that superior product knowledge, along with many years of industry experience, make MaxiAids customer service staff stand out above the competition.

Several factors have contributed to MaxiAids’ continued success, even through difficult economic times.
