Maris E Drew, MD

Dr. Maris has been my physician for over 5 years now. He is an exceptional physician, incredibly thorough, thoughtful and mindful. Most recently, I found myself needing to have surgery on my shoulder — in an expeditous manner. He squeezed me in for an appointment in less than a day; re-​visited my previous blood work; immediately developed an updated list of various tests I needed to have and responded to the surgeon that same day. Dr. Maris is very caring and has, throughout the years, offered fantastic advice for my brother-​in-​law (brain tumor), as well as both of my elderly parents. I am very lucky to have a physician that is as caring and well-​versed as he is.

Dr. Maris is an exceptional physician who I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. He is thorough, thoughtful, insightful and very professional. He takes the time to, not only, discuss what ails you but also what the contributing factors may be. Very highly thought of in both the medical and lay community. I am a healthier person today because of Dr. Maris care and guidance. Remember, this is medicine not magic.

Dr Maris was my moms doctor when she 90 to 92 years of age my mom loved him as I do he is a wonderful Doctor who really cares. I trust him with my health my mental well being & wouldn’t consider going to anyone else

I recently went to see Dr. Drew for a physical and to check up on some ongoing conditions and I had a very pleasant experience. He was kind and thoughtful and took his time with me which is rare these days. Would highly recommend him.

My 92-​yr-​old mother and I would echo everything Jack wrote. She was assigned to Dr. Maris when Dr. Motyka left the Scotts Valley Medical Clinic, and she was nervous after reading the negative review.
But Dr. Maris was great, going through all the issues with her (as Jack says, with no sugarcoating) and answering all our questions. He is very calm and thorough. My mother’s opinion as we left:
«I wish I had known about Dr. Maris years ago!»

This man was the rudest physician I think I’ve ever met, and that doesn’t speak very well for him.
He attended to me when my doctor was not in town. Thinking it would be a help, I wrote out my medical history (very complicated and presently pertinent) including my current complaints and printed it out for him.
This pompous oaf walked into the office clicking the papers with his fingers, and after looking at them, said, very patronizingly, «What you are under is a lot of stress. Here let me tell you how it is.» He then drew a rudimentary chart on a paper towel about how stress affects people.
He then uttered the astoundingly unexpected comment, «It’s not as if you can get off on disability or something.»
This was *extremely* offensive to me; I couldn’t believe that he’d said such a thing! I had not mentioned such a desire, and this comment, as he indifferently looked through me and stuck by his arrogant position, sealed my poor impression of him.
Basically, he ran me off, shaking his head at my brazen visit to him.
I was soon after diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. Yep, I was truly very ill.
And guess what. I’m on disability.
This arrogant, self-​satisfied doctor should be afflicted by these ailments and see what it’s like to visit a physician such as himself. Then perhaps his attitude might change.
Until then, STAY AWAY. This MD makes assumptions based on things other than the truth, and has a bedside manner among the most disagreeable I have encountered.
