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 triathlons, 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.

    I love how she interacts with my children and take what they have to say about their body just as important as what I have to say as a parent. Makes them feel heard.

    This was our first visit with Dr. Scranton. She was very caring, kind & responsive to everything we needed help with. My son’s original pcp wasn’t available but seeing Dr. Scranton almost felt like we had known her for years. She felt like family because she seemed genuinely interested/concerned for my son’s health which as his mom brought me most comfort. I wouldn’t mind seeing her again for my children. We loved her gentleness. Thank you for being so sweet.

    Fast service on the front desk, but inside the Doctor take time attending all the patient questions.
