  • Jul 28, 2025

    I am fortunate to have Dr. Maragh as my PCP! She is an excellent Clinician - coordinating/aware of all my health care challenges/needs. She not only listens..but she "hears" you - which unfortunately is a rare quality amongst Physicians. I always leave my appointments feeling heard, care for/about, respected and valued. I trust Dr. Maragh.

  • Jul 2, 2025

    I like Dr. Maragh quite a bit. She listens, provides good feedback. But I have another friend who is a patient of hers who has also had issues with time management with Dr. Maragh. I cannot in good faith recommend her to others without giving people this caveat.

  • Jun 26, 2025

    Dr. Maragh is an excellent provider.
