Dr. John Thomas Maher, MD

Impatient burnt out moody doctor. Never calls back, has an attitude and is very against natural birth. As soon as he heard I do not want an epidural he checked out completely and was downright disgusting and angry. Don't think his expertise are worth anything with such a personality.

Due to personal reasons I had to leave my previous doctor in my ninth month while pregnant with my first child. I contacted Dr. Maher's office and they accepted me with no questions. I'll admit the wait time is a bit long (like many other doctors), but it was worth the wait. Dr. Maher and his staff are warm, caring and very devoted. Dr. Maher himself also made me feel very comfortable and reassured. He was always ready to answer my questions and whenever I had a concern he made sure to call me back and put me at ease. He even remembered my problems and followed up on it at my next appointments. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a professional, caring doctor.

Dr Maher, was very nice, knowledgeable, patient.

I recently had a baby with Dr. Maher. In my first pregnancy, I had a C Section when the other doctor I was going to at the time told me the baby's heart was dropping during labor. When I got pregnant again, that same Doctor (who I liked) recommended a repeat C Section and was not open to me trying to have a normal delivery. I was referred to Dr. Maher by a friend who has a successful vaginal delivery after a C Section with him. When I met with Dr. Maher, he spent a lot of time to discuss all the different possible options regarding the delivery. He reviewed my records and was open to me trying. He told me that there was always a possibility of a repeat C Section, but that as long as things were going ok, I could try. Well I am thrilled to say that all went well and I was able to deliver the baby on my own! Thank You Dr. Maher!

He is very quick to call for a c-section for what other providers told me where minor problems during labor. Beware. Also, very long wait times for an appointment.

The appointment waits were often at least 45 minutes on a normal day. When I was in labor he was so impatient and pushed for a C-section (later had my ...

No one was in the office when I arrived for my appointment. I waited an hour to be seen. Dr. Maher came across a little creepy (it seemed like he wanted to be viewed as "hip" more than anything else) and he was not at all thorough in addressing my concerns. The only follow-up after my visit was from the billing department and the woman I spoke to was obnoxiously rude and abrasive. I had a question about one aspect of the billing process and she immediately responded with an attitude and raised her voice. When I asked to speak with someone else so that I could pay my bill and get on with my day she raised her voice even more and called me a lunatic. Even if Dr. Maher was worth the long waits (and he's not), I would never go back because his team creates such an uncomfortable and tactless environment for patients.

I was a patient of Dr. Mashers for several years, and had been reasonably satisfied, but things have gone WAY downhill in the past few months. My last three visits, I waited no less than one hour past my appointment time to see him, and twice the wait was two hours. When I experienced spotting just shy of 6 weeks into my first pregnancy on a weekend, his answering service told me they'd page him and he'd call me back. Some 6 hours later without hearing anything, I called back and they said they'd erred, that he wasn't on call that weekend and I should go to the ER (they weren't sure which ER, though). My first office visit post miscarriage, he was two hours late and spent maybe two minutes with me in the exam room. When I became pregnant again, he told me and my husband, "If you need anything day or night, call me." I had another spotting miscarriage scare shortly thereafter on a weekend, and the answering service indicated many attempts to page him and left him several voicemails… over a period of about 4 hours. I finally decided to just go to the ER. On my next office visit, at which my husband was present, we brought up the incident and the fact we were unhappy that yet again he had been up reachable and had never followed up. He became nasty and defensive and began to berate me WHILW performing a vaginal ultrasound with my husband, a midwife, and a nurse in the room. I have never been treated so disrespectfully and unprofessionally before. Ladies, if you want to be treated with dignity and respect, and not by an irresponsible dr. with anger management issues do NOT see Dr. John Maher.

Dr. Maher delivered my twins and he was awesome through the entire process.

I started seeing Dr.Maher when I was pregnant with my 2nd child.I couldn't ask for a better Dr. he was very patient and takes the time with every patient to answer any questions one might have. He made this pregnancy and the delivery of my daughter a happy and stress free experience.
