About Maria C. Scranton, MD

  • Dr. Scranton has three children. She says that most of her free time is spent as their "chauffeur, cheerleader, and occasional nag!"  She also enjoys reading, sprint triathalons, and boating.

My philosophy of care centers on working with the parents of my patients to give the best possible health care for each individual child, and working with the Texas Pediatric Society to improve the health of all the children of Texas.

    All ok, except the wait, more than half hour, this has happened in the past same doctor, I even wonder if she gives online consultation between appointments? Once we waited almost an hour.

  • May 5, 2023

    As always we had a great experience with Dr. Scranton and her nurses. However over the past 9 years we have been coming to ARC the front desk experience has dropped tremendously and is super disappointing.

  • May 2, 2023

    Front desk staff can be rude and judgmental but the rest of the staff is amazing

  • April 26, 2023

    Son is a medically complex child who is difficult for HCP to be comfortable with. Dr Scranton changed our lives for the better with her compassion, humor, and trust. We are extremely lucky as are her other patients.

  • April 22, 2023

    Would like a friendlier front desk staff

  • March 29, 2023

    Staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Scranton was amazing as always. She makes my kids feel so comfortable with her.
