Dr. Maraist performed four procedures on my feet and I am very pleased with the care I have received. He explains all options and procedures clearly. When I reacted to pain medication on a weekend, he returned my call and even delivered a new prescription script to the drugstore himself on a Sunday morning. He called my husband three times during the weekend to check on me. His nurse is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The really appreciate the care and attention I have received from Dr. Maraist and his staff.

I was suffering with heel pain for months, and had been putting off getting it checked out hoping it would go away on its own. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Maraist and he quickly diagnosed my Plantar Fasciitis. My pain was relieved with a shot, stretching exercises, and shoe inserts. Within days I was walking without pain. My heel is 100% now!
