Experience

Sixteen years guiding preventive programs, chronic care panels, and post-hospital transitions. Dr. Maris built WWC Health's care pod model and mentors new clinicians on documentation clarity. She leads quarterly community seminars on blood pressure self-monitoring and women's cardiovascular risk.

Her visits emphasize listening first, then co-authoring plans that fit real kitchens, commutes, and caregiving loads. Members appreciate her habit of ending appointments with written priorities numbered one through three.
