    Excellent Doctor!

    My pcp, Dr Lauren Maragh is a phenomenal provider. Her bedside manners are awesome and her demeanor is consistently welcoming. She did not rush through my appointment and displayed an interest and understanding of each of my concerns. MedStar is fortunate to have her as part of the team!!
