Testimonials

"One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that I have a great relationship with the other docs, clinic staff, and hospital staff. I feel like I am among friends, it's almost a social visit as much as a work visit. I don't feel isolated, and I feel like I have excellent support not just for emergencies but for all aspects of life."

"The thing which sets Marathon apart for me is the personal relationships I have with the people here. I feel that as a resident and over my first locum I really got to know a lot of people here personally, and every time I come it's like coming to visit my friends and mentors. I always feel welcome, and I feel at ease with them. I find often on locums you are stuck by yourself, and at this point in practice it's not as big of a deal medically as it is isolating socially. But in Marathon I feel like I am always welcomed in as part of the group by all the staff, and I've never felt like I have no one to reach out to"
