“She was very attentive, took my concerns into consideration and hopped on getting me to go get labs done. She seemed like she is not judgmental and listens to your concerns. It was my first visit so far, but I cant wait to see where this goes as Maplethorpe as my main doctor. I will be back for an update review later. ”

Excellent doctor. Really pays attention to you as a patient and educates you on the options - excellent bed-side manner!

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!

It was easy to book an appointment, I got an appointment quick, and my docotor was awesome.

We still had to fill all the forms even though we already filled then here on ZocDoc. Waste of time.
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.
She is as wonderful as ever. Attentive, helpful, with the best bedside manner.
I adore her and her staff. She always helps me and listens to my concerns.

Verified patient
Very nice. Will keep her as my primary care doctor.
First visit and it was very thorough and pleasant!
Appointment was scheduled and confirmed. Forms were filled out. Doctor completely ghosted the appointment. Which I later found out was scheduled during their lunch hour... The lunch hour that the entire office is closed... Why are you booking appointments that are during the one hour of the day no one is available or there? It's now 3 hours after and still no communication or response. Definitely will not be booking again considering this was a first patient appointment.

Let’s just sum up my experience. It was wonderful! Hands down, this was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a physician. Her bedside manner is on point, she listens, she takes matters seriously and she isn’t rude or arrogant. She also did not rush or treat me like a number. Highly recommended!
Verified patientVideo visit
No one showed up by the appointment time, and then I called them, no one answers. Didn’t even receive an email before or after the appointment
Verified patientVideo visit
Do not do business with this doctor. I wish I had googled the reviews of this clinic before trying to work with them. They just simply disappeared on me and never responded to me about how to continue with my treatment, which appears to be pretty common amongst reviews. Don’t waste your time, find a doctor that is actually interested in working toward better health.

This office is so poorly managed that I never actually saw this doctor. It kept getting rescheduled 30 mins before my scheduled appointment time. The office is ran through an instant message system. I never once physically spoke to anyone on the phone or got confirmations about my appointments.
Verified patientVideo visit
I booked a 12:30pm appointment with this provider and was contacted at 11:34am for my appointment. After waiting to hear back from the clinic, they claim it was Zocdocs scheduling issue as the doctor was in AZ so in a different time zone. I was able to see the dr not was I able to reschedule.

Booked a video visit appointment. Dr was late, then needed an additional ‘10 minutes’ and after 20 minutes of waiting informed me that she had to go and we should reschedule. When I tried to call the office number to follow up, there is only an answering machine and apparently not even a physical office. Overall disappointing and a waste of my time.
