Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Dr. Smita Maruvada receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise her exceptional listening skills, thoroughness, and compassionate bedside manner. Patients repeatedly describe her as kind, caring, and professional, noting that she takes time to explain medical information in terms they can understand without making them feel rushed. Many reviewers highlight her ability to make patients feel valued and included in their care plans, with several mentioning she treats them like family. Her knowledge and expertise in rheumatology, particularly in treating conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders, is frequently commended. Patients also appreciate her responsiveness to MyChart messages, her proactive approach to pain management, and her willingness to collaborate with other providers to coordinate comprehensive care.
Patients also share
The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement, with only a handful of constructive comments among the extensive positive feedback. One patient noted that Dr. Maruvada should speak more slowly so elderly patients with hearing aids can better understand her, though this was framed as an observation rather than a criticism. Two patients expressed concerns about specific interactions: one felt the provider started with technical information rather than personal care, and another mentioned a question about prescribed dosage where the provider asked about the patient's source of information. A few patients noted they were still developing their relationship with Dr. Maruvada as a new provider, suggesting the need for time to build rapport and understanding.
