Very knowledgeable and compassionate physician. Dr. Maricic cares about the WHOLE patient, not just arthritis or other conditions usually treated by his office. He understands that other ailments have a relationship to the well being of the patient. The most caring and compassionate physician I have ever been to. His examinations are gentle and explanations are given for everything. Have referred him to friends and other family members. A jewel in the medical profession!
