What Patients are Saying About Dr. Joseph C. Maroon, MD

My husband and I saw Dr. Maroon for the first time April 4, 2017. I can't say enough about how Dr. Maroon looked at my MRIs and knew right away what was wrong. He asked my husband to come over and look also, and he explained and pointed out what was wrong. Dr. Maroon said he could fix this and soon as he said that, and my response was, how soon can we do it. Dr. Maroon, is a blessing for me, I have surgery next week, and I can be out of pain...

— UPMC Patient

Dr. Maroon and his staff were very efficient with my medical history and my exam. Everything was explained and he even showed me part of my MRI explaining my condition.

— UPMC Patient

Dr. Maroon was excellent in describing my medical problem, explaining treatment options from least to most invasive. Homeopathic approach was clinically sound and appropriately conservative.

— UPMC Patient

Outstanding, exemplary care, as good or better than I have experienced with other specialists and medical professionals at any time. Superb surgeon, who achieved minimal pain and maximal results.

— UPMC Patient

I went to see Dr Maroon as a second opinion for surgery consult and he was AWESOME! He went over everything about what was needed for surgery and exactly why it is was needed along with what is currently happening in my back. And he went above and beyond as he is not in network with my insurance so he recommended a microsurgeon and called and got us in to see him the very same day!

— UPMC Patient

I am a diabetic so I have been to many doctors, labs and have had many tests and advice given to me. This was my first visit with this doctor and staff. I was amazed on how awesome EVERYONE interacted with me and the visit went WAY beyond any expectations I had - Kudos to this doctor and staff.
