“It’s not about the money,” said Dr. P. J. Marshio of the M&M Medical & Surgical Clinic in Rockport. His wife, Beverly, agreed whole-heartedly with her husband. “It is all about making people feel better about themselves,” she added.
Not only does the clinic offer treatments for wrinkles, freckles,
rosacea, acne, age spots, spider veins, unwanted hair, and cellulite,
they give personal and emotional counseling for a complete
understanding of the procedures and results. “She’s (Beverly) is the
brains behind this,” smiled Dr. Marshio. She sees the patients first
to get their medical history and then he follows up with the medical
consultation. It is a special and unique experience to have both a
physician and surgical counselor in the same firm with numerous years
of combined work experience in their specific fields.
Dr. Marshio received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree in
1971. After completing his general surgery residency, he pursued a
fellowship in thoracic and vascular surgery in Denmark, and then served
as a war surgeon in Lebanon. After completing another surgery
fellowship in Chicago, he served for four years on the thoracic and
vascular surgery faculty at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine
in Ft. Worth, Texas. He has practiced surgery in the Coastal Bend
since 1983 and has been affiliated with seven regional hospitals.
Beverly Marshio is the clinical assistant, surgical counselor, and the
practice manager for M&M Medical & Surgical Clinic. Her
psychology degree from Texas Christian University and her
doctoral/graduate studies at Texas A&M Universities led her to
thirty-four years of experience as an assistant to a clinical
psychologist. The Marshios have worked together in the hospital and
office since their marriage.
Because of extensive up-to-date training in Canada, Georgia, Missouri,
New York, and Texas – Austin, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, and San
Antonio - the Marshios are able to offer non-invasive, medical-grade
services. Light-based treatments for hair removal deliver a gentle
energy to the skin to disintegrate the hair and are longer lasting than
waxing; in most cases, they are permanent. Photo rejuvenation allows
the patient a natural way to reduce wrinkles, age spots, redness caused
by broken capillaries, sun damage, stretch marks, acne, and large pores.
Another treatment offered is exfoliation of the skin, including medical
microdermabrasion and chemical peel; these help in improving the skin
texture and color by removing the topmost layer of skin. In addition,
they offer injectable procedures, such as Botox (a purified protein to
reduce muscle activity) and Restylane (a gel of hyaluronic acid to reduce
volume and fullness to the skin).
Dr. and Mrs. Marshio have recently trained with some of the world’s
leading experts in the field of aesthetic medicine, including the top
experts in the fields of Botox and
injectable fillers.
Because of the demand for their services, M&M Medical &
Surgical Clinic has moved to a larger facility. Located at 2851 North
Highway 35, they now have a beautifully remodeled and sufficient space
to take care of their patients with added comfort and privacy.
It is quite easy to feel the excitement and enthusiasm of this awesome
medical team within just a few minutes of stepping into their clinic.
Their main concern is for the total understanding of their patients
prior to any treatment. “Our hearts and souls are in this clinic; we
love what we do,” emphasized Beverly. Dr. Marshio concluded, “It has
made me feel better, too. If I can’t help you, I don’t want to waste
your money.”
