Gina Maraio, DO

I was looking for a weightless clinic and Doctor and after reading these reviews I am frightened just from the fighting of the customers and the doctors responses. I am not affiliated with any of these people but as a customer looking for a trusting Doctor… word of advice… people will always have negative things to say, it’s how you professionally handle them in the publics eye is weather people will choose you. You sound just as these customers have portrayed you. You are very unprofessional. You actually come off scary! I was dead set on choosing you as a doctor even if those few bad reviewers were there (because you had so many good reviews) but not after seeing how you handle conflict. We as customers know your business can’t be perfect, but it was you fighting on Unilocal which changed my mind. I suggest from one business woman to another you remove your combative comments and take a higher road. maybe Google kind replies to negative Unilocal reviewers. I bet you are a great doctor, but I can tell from your replies the way they portrayed you has actually come to be true (from how you portrayed yourself through your comments) Also I don’t suggest you hang up on your patients or talk about them behind their back (if this is true). And if your patients are upset maybe figure out a better way to handle the situation. Like working together to solve the situation. These are just tips… I suggest if you do these things people would flock to you… please if you have any business training or customer service remove your replies or re write them

This brilliant doctor saved my life. What else is there to say? She has a tool chest that overflows with very effective means for encouraging and boosting our own ability to balance and heal. It is called «the art of medicine» and this lady is a master of the art!
She understands that we are not just bodies. We are minds, emotions, spirits and bodies. She has the books, machines, ideas, remedies, and means to help anyone with an open mind and heart find and follow their very own, custom designed path to wellness and well-​being. If I could be a healer I would want to be just like Dr. Maraio!

I went to Dr. Maraio for menopause symptoms. After several months of appointments and expensive supplements, I had not received any benefit, thus the three stars. The reason for the review is that I was disappointed that I was told to stop taking the supplements that I had purchased and to purchase the same supplements from her recommended company for more than twice the price. She stated that the ones I had purchased had fillers that weren’t good for me. I contacted the manufacturer directly and learned otherwise. She also knew that I was vegetarian, yet when I received the iron supplement she recommended, it was bovine derived. Dr. Maraio uses muscle testing. When I googled muscle testing, I discovered that there is no scientific research to support it. She also uses a weird machine that measures energy (I think). She does use blood tests which is what I mostly went by to decide which supplements to take.
With all that said, Dr. Maraio is very nice and very knowledgeable. I think she could be of benefit for someone that needs the time that a traditional doctor would not give you to figure out some unusual issue.
Lastly, don’t even mention medical insurance. When I inquired, I was given a lecture by the receptionist and then after my appointment, I received a call from their office manager giving me the same lecture about the evils of insurance. A simple yes or no would have been fine with me.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Maraio for about 6 years and am very happy with the care I’ve received thus far. She bridges the gap between western and integrative medicine which I appreciate.
After being diagnosed and treated for an autoimmune disease in 2004, I was sad to learn that my beloved doctor (who had diagnosed me) was to retire in 2008. He was a wonderful doctor who treated my condition very conservatively with a blend of diet, nutrition and medicine. After he retired I saw several doctors to help me maintain my condition, but was unhappy with their advisement and desire to overmedicate me.
I made an appointment to see Dr. Maraio in 2009 and have been happy with her ever since. She’s worked with me on both a holistic and medical level. I’m one of those patients who spends a lot of time researching the latest findings on my condition and I tend to ask my doctor’s LOTS of questions. I don’t want to just be told what to take; I want to know why, I want to know the potential side effects, I want to know what the alternatives are. Dr. Maraio has always supported my desire to remain as educated as possible with my course of treatment. She not only helps me to understand but also takes my requests and research into account, I find this to be extremely valuable.
She’s never pushed me to take any of the supplements she sells in her office, nor has she encouraged me to take anything I’d prefer not to. She gives me her recommendations but respects whatever my ultimate decision is based on our overall evaluation.
Whenever I leave Dr. Maraio’s office I am always given detailed notes of our visit, and if I’ve had blood work done I am always supplied with a copy for my records which I also find highly valuable.
Ultimately we work together on my treatment. It’s a collaborative effort where I feel supported, educated, and above all I am in general good health due to our hard work together as patient and doctor. I have an autoimmune, so I have good days and not so good days, but I feel great 85% of the time which is huge for me!
Through diet, nutrition, and remaining conservative with western medicine treatments, we’ve found a great balance. She’s even on board with my preference to work with a compounding pharmacy! YAY!

I am so very impressed with Dr. Maraio’s ability to diagnose and cure.
After several years and many doctors I found Dr. Maraio. Dr. Maraio was able to balance my hormones and dysfunctional thyroid through compounded medications and recommending dietary changes.
In the past year i have lost over 35 pounds, have a more balanced outlook toward life and I haven’t felt as good as I do now in over 10 years.
Dr. Maraio has the unique ability to listen to your symptoms and not rely totally on lab values. Balancing the two, and adjusting medications and diet to resolve my symptoms has been life changing. I feel so much better and look so much better and my everyday enthusiasm has returned.
Dr. Maraio spends quality time with you. She is never rushed or hurried. She is thoughtful in her comments and approach. She is a truly unique one of a kind practitioner and I am grateful for her knowledge, help and assistance. She forms a partnership with her patients that I’ve not found with any other doctor.
I highly recommend her to resolve complex medical problems — you won’t be sorry.
Thanks Dr. Maraio for your quality care and thoughtfulness.

What I wrote is truth. Period. Your lies are that only lies. None of that happened…

I have had the good fortune to watch a mutual client bloom through the diligence and care of this very special doctor. This client was determined to find a doctor that would help her feel herself again. She had tried several Dr.‘s and each time she was given the option to take synthetic hormones. It took my client about 11 months of her seeing Dr. Maraio and then my client’s stomach started to melt away. She thought she was stuck with her middle age waste line. Along with her shrinking size, she was no longer dragging herself through her life. She was becoming herself again, only better.
Last summer I had been working out with a trainer 3 days a week. I loved the intense workouts but as hard as I was working, I was not feeling the way I had post workouts from my 20’s and 30’s — I was feeling off, old, angry, sad, you name it. I guess this was my first introduction to pre-​menopause. Frustrated that my old ways of balancing my weight and strength were no longer working, I knew it was my turn to meet Dr. Maraio.
Dr. Maraio is an extremely educated and well versed Surgeon and Osteopathic doctor. Her career as an ER, Hospice and Family Practitioner, along with her innate ability to connect intricate vital information is a rare gift.
I had an inclination that my metabolism was confused or stuck. Through the in depth appointments and Dr. Maraio’s due diligence, my metabolism is now balanced again.
Dr. Maraio will spend the time with you, she will help you understand what our bodies go through as we age. She is a plethora of information and experience. As the patient, I know it is my responsibility to be apart of the process by asking questions and being totally honest about what I am doing and how I am helping or hindering the process. Doctors are human, they are not robots or gods. Being healthy is our responsibility, our doctors are here to identify when something is wrong. They are supposed to help you get better. Unfortunately most doctors spend less than 10 minutes with a patient and then write up a prescription for you.
With Dr. Maraio I have a mentor for my health. If I have a question or need to understand what we are doing, she is there to assist me. She is there for all of her patients.
Thank you Dr. Maraio, you are very appreciated and valued beyond your imagination!

I’ve never met a Doctor who is so willing to dig deep to find creative solutions. Most are inclined to sugest medication or surgery; stifling the symptom or cutting out the problem, rather than addressing the core issue. She is different that way. She will spend hours going over your history, looking for patterns and timelines that tie together what you have gone through with what you are currently experiencing. She has had a huge, positive impact on my outlook and my health. I would highly recommend her. She is not only an educated physician, but a highly intuitive and gifted healer.

Dr. Maraio is a kind heart! Very compassionate, her depth of knowledge will blow your mind! She does whatever is necesary for her Patients, I worked in her office for a while and she is the only doctor i want to ever go to… She knows her stuff!
The Rangel of Patients that she see vary From Young men and Women to the elderly. And she knows bio identical hormones like no other! I have all my friends going to her!
Now, she won’t roll over and give you a prescription unless she is certain that you need them, that’s where the disgrental reviews come from! She goes above and beyond what you think you need! I love dr. M. Many of her patients call her dr. Love!!!
I have seen Dr. M. save so many people’s lives!!!

STOP because you have found the BEST Doctor. Seriously, I have been having a lot of different problems in the 10 years aince I had cancer. Dr. Maraio took the time, she spends a long time with her patients, unlike most doctors who give you 15 minutes. She listens to you, and gets all the information you want to give her, and really figures what is wrong with your body, and corrects it. She is a kind, generous, and caring person and Doctor. Her prices are great too. She way undercharges every single person that I have seen in there or whom I have talked to. Everyone I talk to in the waoting room loves her. The girl who works the front desk is also great! They would be lost without her. Great office all together!

Unprofessional, unethical & rude. I would rather have put no stars. Unfortunately, that is not an option. She refused to give me a copy of my blood work when I requested it. She also made threats to forward negative notes about me to my new provider that were completely untrue. I cancelled my appointment and was not asked to pay a cancelation fee until I requested my blood work and informed her I would no longer be going to her. She said she would not send me my blood work until I paid the bogus cancelation fee she just came up with. Did I mention she just kept arguing with me and when I told her I was not going to argue with her, she hung up on me??! I feel violated. No, Dr. should treat anyone like that. She was very nice & kind until I decided to go to a different Dr. Then, she was rude, mean & uncooperative. I thought Dr’s were supposed to be an advocate for your health. Don’t be fooled.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Maraio. She spends quality time with each patient which means you may have a long wait but it’s worth it. I would recommend her to anyone.

There are great doctors and there are healers. Dr. Gina Maraio is the rare exception, she is both. I have been a patient of hers for about 18 months and have never been so well taken care of by any health professional. Her thoroughness initially in gathering an extensive history far beyond ‘check the box’ I usually encounter, just begins to demonstrate her care and concern for the ‘whole’ patient. She has correctly diagnosed and treated what my other doctors missed and continued treatment on my initial diagnosis of high blood pressure and I am now no longer taking any medication as it has returned to normal. She stresses preventative measures and also intelligently combines alternative treatments proven to be effective on a case by case basis. She is the most skillful practitioner I’ve known and charges such a reasonable rate, anyone can afford first rate medical care. You will be amazed!

Dr Maraio is a true gem! She spent extra time with me at our first visit and discovered more about me in one hour than a list of specialists did over the past 2 years! Wow. She’s good… Very comprehensive, kind, and understanding. I highly recommend Dr Maraio and her lovely assistant Heather. Both woman are exceptional at what they do! Thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr. Maraio’s for 3 years and I absolutely love her and her staff. They ALL have been nothing but kind and caring. I have never met a Doctor or an office staff that spends as much time or puts as much thought into the care of a patient as they do. In a world of 15 minute in-​and-​out Doctor visits, Dr. Maraio is a breath of fresh air and a dream come true. There is no one else like Dr. Maraio; she is one of a kind.

Dr Mariao is one of the most helpful doctor I have ever been too. My first visit lasted almost ³¹⁄₂ hours. Never have I had a doctor take so much time with me and give such usable advise, as well as supplements and listening ear. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is truly a wonderful doctor and person. With her help I am on the road to recovery.

I will never hesitate to recommend Dr. Maraio to anyone that wants an attentive, caring and skillful practitioner. I’m with Kaiser so my time with her is not «covered» but I gladly pay her very reasonable charges for real, thoughtful medical care. I am sick of all the «7 minute doctors» that have no time because they work for a big group or have to jump to the insurance companies. Dr. Maraio takes whatever time is needed and educates you on what’s important to your health. Nothing is taboo, not weight, hormones, smoking etc. She also refers me to quality specialists when needed.

Dr. Maraio is an extraordinary physician. She is truly concerned with my health and takes the time to listen to my concerns and address each one. While other doctors have rushed me out of the office, Dr. Maraio takes the time to make sure I am happy and on the way to healthy before I leave her office. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who cares about her patients.

I’ve looked a long time for a doctor I like and Dr. Maraio is it! She takes the time to really listen to you and asks all the right questions. Her diagnoses are spot on and she’s resolved some long-​term health issues that no one else could figure out.
Her office staff is fun, if a tad disorganized at times. The massage chairs in the exam room make any wait seem not so long. I’ve recommended her to several people and will continue to do so.
