Comment Summary

Patients consistently praised Dr. Maranto for his attentive and communicative approach to care. Multiple reviewers highlighted his willingness to listen and take time to address their concerns, with one patient specifically noting how valued they felt having him lead their healthcare team. Another patient appreciated his thorough approach during a first visit for a chronic condition, noting that he discussed treatment options and requested previous records before making a decision. Patients also found him easy to talk to, and at least one reviewer expressed strong enough satisfaction to recommend UAMS to friends and family. The reviews provide very little in the way of constructive criticism or areas for improvement. One reviewer gave a 3.8-star rating with only the word "Good," and another simply wrote "Excellent" without elaboration, leaving limited detail to identify specific opportunities for enhancement. No patients raised concerns about wait times, communication issues, or quality of care, making it difficult to pinpoint meaningful areas for development based on this set of reviews. Overall, patient sentiment toward Dr. Maranto is strongly positive. The reviews reflect a provider who is regarded as thorough, approachable, and genuinely invested in his patients' well-being. The high volume of 5-star ratings and the personal, appreciative tone of several reviews suggest that patients feel confident in and satisfied with the care they receive from him.

This was my first visit with Dr. Maranto for a chronic issue. He discussed my options, gave me information to review and we will choose my best treatment after he reviews my previous treatment records.

I really liked both Drs. Maranto and [OTHER PROVIDER]. They both spent a reasonable amount of time with me. Dr. Maranto took his time explaining two different procedures, One was chosen to be the best for me.

Dr Moranto truly listened to me, as evidenced by the notes he made regarding my visit. He was not actively taking notes during my visit, yet he recalled what I communicated to him. I appreciate that he wants to help fix the underlying issue rather than treat with medication.
