Maruca, Joseph MD

I would not recomend this doctor. I waited for about 1 hour before I inquired about my appointment ( I had to wait 3 weeks to get in to see him!) I had to take off work to make this appointment. I asked if I was going to be seen soon. One of the ladies said that I would be seen soon. I asked if this was normal and the first lady stumbled over her words and the other butted in and said " Yes , The Dr. sees everyone and that takes time." I asked " How much time because I had an appointment over an hour ago." The receptionist replied as much as it takes." I felt like a child being scolded. I returned to my seat and waited ... and waited ... A few people came and went and I got madder! After 2 and a half hours later and after a patient that just walked in the door 5 minutes before went ahead of me I realized that If this Doctor can't run his own office better than this and choose polite and competent staff! Why would I want to see him? So I left after telling them Not to even think of charging me. I also thanked them for wasting 2 and a half hours of my life. The recieptionist replied that Dr Maruca was the only doctor on the western slope. I smiled and said that is why the interstate leads to Denver!! I left and never looked back or went back!!
