Scott Maron, M.D. Board Certified in Internal Medicine
Scott Maron was born and raised in West Orange, NJ. After earning his Bachelor of Science at University of Pennsylvania, he went to Baylor College of Medicine for his medical degree. He returned to New Jersey to practice medicine and opened his practice in 1995. He has been a teacher of residents at both Morristown Memorial Hospital and Saint Barnabas Medical Center. He has served as the Chairman of the Quality Assurance Committee at Saint Barnabas for the past 10 years. He has also participated with a number of committees at both hospitals involving improvement of care and hiring Department Chairs.
In his practice of Internal Medicine, Dr. Maron manages all diseases in all areas, but has a special interest in Preventive medicine, cardiology, and endocrinology. He uses his background in Psychology and Neuroscience to blend the art and science of Medicine. Dr. Maron’s approach is strongly influenced by three tenets- One must treat the person and not the disease, The mind and body are entwined closely in overall health, and Western Medicine does not have all the answers.
As a doctor, one must consider all aspects of a person’s health and life when giving advice or considering options. Every person reacts to disease and treatment in different ways and so each approach is individualized. Dr. Maron uses sincere caring, humor, and a person’s own support system to optimize their feelings for their future. A supportive hand or a shared laugh can be more therapeutic than some medications. Dr. Maron has practiced for medicine for sixteen years and has spent every day striving to make his patients happy and healthy.
