She attended YSU for part of her undergraduate studies, majoring in Biology and Chemistry, and worked as a graduate teaching/research assistant.

She founded the Ellwood Animal Hospital in 1987, College Hill Animal Clinic in 1988, Center Animal Clinic in 1991, Chippewa Animal Hospital in 1998, and Cranberry Holistic Pet Care in 2015. Her continual efforts to offer compassionate care, health, hope, and happiness to owners and their pets have brought culminated in the services we offer today.

She has spent 33 years learning and developing treatment integration plans that rely heavily on creating wellness and health through the use of therapeutic nutrition, animal chiropractic, TCVM, herbology, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, therapeutic massage, IASTM, essential oils, alternative cancer therapies, SANAWAVE, NanoVitalight, Laser therapy, NAET, Ozone Therapy, Prolotherapy, Stem Cell/PRP, and more.

Dr. Maro is a true visionary, and she has had profound and remarkable results with her unique approach to creating wellness.

From her earliest days practicing, she began volunteering at and helping the Beaver, Lawrence, and Butler County Humane Societies, 40 area schools with free programs, served on the Advisory Board of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and founded several nursing home-pet visitation programs. She has trained and mentored thousands of students, veterinarians, and local school children. She was the veterinary director and taught emergency medicine and surgical assisting at Median School, before it becoming the Veterinary Technical Institute.

Dr. Maro served for 5 years on the Board of Health and 5 years on the Board of AVCA. She has written for numerous publications, has been an expert witness in matters of veterinary health, and has been featured in Whole Dog Journal and on TV and radio programs throughout the Pittsburgh area.

Dr. Maro’s greatest enjoyment in practice is seeing owners’ hope and happiness restored when pets with “untreatable illnesses” respond to integrative care. Observing those extra days, years, and months of quality time is truly a rewarding experience. In her free time, she enjoys reading, volunteering, listening to TED talks, watching comedies and historical films, exercising, Zumba, Pilates, biking, hiking, gardening, and spending time with her huge family, especially her kids, cats, and dog.
