Verified patient
Love her as always! She was delayed delivering a baby, which comes as part of the deal. She is a great doctor.
Verified patient
Dr. Maplethorpe is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She is very caring, patient and compassionate.
Every time I go, I wait more than an hour, even if there is no one in the waiting room. It's frustrating.
Verified patient
She saw her MA was busy so she started calling patients back herself. Very good use of time for everyone!
Verified patient
We still had to fill all the forms even though we already filled then here on ZocDoc. Waste of time.
Great doctor! Took the time to listen and answered all my questions. Highly recommended!

Waited over a month and half for a referral, no response on my several follow ups…

Best doctor I have ever seen. She listened to my concerns and was very easy to talk with.
This Dr. did not follow through with the reference to a back specialist. Disappointed.
She was helpful in addressing my concerns about my family history and taking action.
I have seen this doctor before. The ZocDoc experience was as expected

Dr.Maplethorpe is by far one of the most professional wonderful amazing Dr. I have ever seen. She's absolutely committed to being the best provider she can be always so caring so thorough in every aspect of the care she gives each of her patients .

I've been waiting for over a week to receive her referrals for tests she would like for me to do. I have called and used their Spruce to communicate, but there no response. It is unprofessional to leave a patient. In limbo with no answer. I'm disappointed in her lack of medical attention.
Great listener and a great communicator
Verified patientVideo visit
A brilliant and patient doctor who really listens and then makes the diagnosis as opposed to some doctors. I would recommend her highly

They rescheduled my appointment because they double booked me, so I had to check with my manager if I could go to lunch later. and then had the audacity to show up 28 minutes late to the appointment after I had told them that I would be at my lunch break.

I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive and kind Dr. Samantha was. I switched PCPs after my visit with her and I am no longer scared of returning to see my family Dr. The clinic is beautiful and well located. I recommend her services.
Verified patient
Dr Maplethorpe is always a treat to see. Since she does see a wide range of ages, the waiting room can get backed up. The only downside would be her schedule continuing to shrink. It's so difficult to make an appointment anymore.
I absolutely LOVED her! She's my new primary care doctor and I'm so glad! I'm even going to take my 4-year old to see her for his wellness check-up!!
Verified patient
My family have been patients with this practice for many years only because we really like Dr Farrell and Dr Maplethorpe. The problem is the wait time. It is always around an hour and occasionally 11/2. This is in my view is very unsatisfactory as I normally have to take time off work and always make a point of getting there on time.
Verified patient
I love my doctor - Maplethorpe is amazing. On this latest visit unfortunately I had to wait over 45 min and I prefer the other female physician's assistant over to this new male PA. But still love my doc!!

Dr Maplethorpe is really sweet and very thorough

Dr. Maplethorpe delivered my 3rd son four years ago - she was impeccable with both the treatment and care for me and my son. I have now moved all of my families health care to Dr's at Lakeside Family Physicians - Dr. Maplethorpe, Dr. Olsen, and Dr. Farrell are an awesome medical team, and we're so lucky to have them taking care of us. I've recommended these Dr's to literally a half dozen of my friends who are now patients with these 3 Dr's. Thank you Dr. Maplethorpe for helping me find a medical practice I can trust and rely on!
I have always felt Dr. Maplethorpe cares as much about my daughters health and wellbeing as I do! She is amazingly compassionate and knowledgeable!
Verified patient
Professional, comforting and very knowledgeable!
Verified patient
Dr Maplethorpe is an amazing doctor who takes the time to get to know you and your specific concerns. She is thoughtful and very considerate. Great clinic!
Just moved to WA from NY and needed all new doctors. I love that Dr Maplethorpe touches upon a number of things. I feel like she understands the entire picture and put the puzzle pieces together. Her bedside manner is top notch. I did have to wait about an hour my last visit, but she was out for a week and catching up on appointments. My previous three were very quick in terms of waiting time. Very pleased!
Dr. Maplethorpe has been my doctor for the last seven years and I just adore her. She has delivered my two daughters and is about to deliver our third baby. She is kind and respectful and makes you feel comfortable always.
Felt camera id rather impersonal When checked in for BP, Weight, questions etc. info on computer isn't always up to date...perhaps there are a few programming hitches?
Verified patient
She was okay, nothing spectacular. She was very blase about issues I brought up and more or less just blew off some of my concerns and medical issues I specifically wanted to discuss with her. She was very friendly and nice, but as far as a healthcare professional I wouldn't go back for any future visits.
