Maura Fox, DO

I was drawn to family medicine largely for the ability to work with all ages, at all stages of life. My goal as a primary care physician is to place emphasis on the prevention or reversal of chronic disease through lifestyle medicine. Family medicine also allows me to see patients for all aspects of reproductive health, which is a passion of mine.

Working in primary care allows for longitudinal relationships with patients, and these relationships are key to finding “meaning in medicine.” I love family medicine for the fact that I can treat the entire family from “womb to tomb” - working with newborns after seeing a pregnant person through their prenatal care, watching pediatric patients meet their developmental milestones and seeing young adults through adulthood and beyond. It is a privilege to get to know each and every family and individual, and work together to meet their health goals.

I’m most looking forward being back in Maine where I have easy access to the ocean, mountains and everything in between. There isn’t a more beautiful state and I’m so excited to put roots down and spend my life exploring Maine!

When I am not working, you can find me somewhere outdoors! I love to decompress outside in nature, whether that is with trail running, biking or hiking. I’m also determined to learn to surf though that can be more of a stressful experience than a de-stressing activity. I’m going to thoroughly enjoy exploring the Maine outdoors!
