Dr. Belinda Maples

Recently took my 18 year old daughter here and we both love everyone here! They take the time to actually listen to your concerns and ask questions which is really rare. So far I’d say it’s a fantastic place!

My family moved to the area early last year and after checking around, Dr.Maples seemed like a good fit for my family. Getting in to see her after reviewing our info was very quick and I absolutely loved her!! So down to earth, explains things so well and just overall great bedside manner. I also was able to get my boys in as well to be their doctor and have seen 2 of her Nurse Practitioners, and they were so great as well. It does seem like the office stays very busy but I can understand why. Her nursing staff was super friendly and helpful with anything we asked and we’re great with my younger boys after shots.

Years ago (10+) I was admitted into Athens Hospital for vomiting and extreme diarrhea that was clear and bloody. Dr. Maples was assigned to me as my doctor. I don't know 100% this is the same Dr. Maples from then, but it's the only Dr. Maples I could find in Athens with that name so I'm pretty sure this is her. Anyway, she came in and claimed I was faking my illness to get attention from my family and that I wanted them to see me sick in a hospital bed. I never even had my family visit and I most definitely wasn't faking any illness since I don't know how one could even fake such symptoms as what I had. She discharged me. Two days later, I had to go back. Luckily a new doctor just started working at the hospital who did thorough tests which found a rare bacterial infection that could've killed me. He was appalled at why I "took so long to get treatment" with which I explained to him I was there 2 days previously and a Dr claimed I was faking my illness. I ended up on strong IV antibiotics and in the hospital for 10 days!! That whole experience traumatized me to the extent that any time I even have a medical problem I'm afraid I'll not be taken seriously or they'll think I'm faking. Luckily nothing like that has ever happened since, but this one horrible experience has seriously stuck with me all these years. I just was thinking about it tonight and decided I'd try to find this doctor and confront her years later to tell her she nearly killed me! But instead I just will leave this review. I usually forget names, but this woman that traumatized me, I'll never forget her name. She shouldn't even be called a doctor.

Dr Maples is AMAZING!! She has delivered both of my children and is my PCP as well. Very thorough, great bedside manner, always willing to listen, and takes time to make sure she addresses all of your concerns. We moved to Tennessee a few years ago and we still make the drive to Athens anytime we need to see the MD. I would not dream of having another Dr.! We LOVE Dr. Maples and her staff!

Don't go to her!! You rarely get to see Maple's...they don't keep a eye on your test results or sonograms as soon as they get the results. So if there's a problem it's 2 weeks later when you have a appointment that they address the problem. They don't do sonograms in the office which to me should be a necessity so that they can know right then if there's a problem. They send you to the hospital to get sonograms and their sonogram techs are very incompetent. I could go on and on about the incompetence of her and the hospitals sonogram techs but I'll leave it at this. Don't go to her! Don't go to her!!

She's never there!! When she is she doesn't listen at all! Don't waste your time!

Complete lack of bedside manner. Changes meds without consulting with patient about effects.

I went in to see the Nurse Practioner on Sept 30, 2020. It was supposed to be a wellness check. I had some medical issues I wanted to ask about. I was told that she had to do her job and was limited on time. She had me draw a clock face and told me three words to remember. I was livid that I had used my day off work and wasn't allowed to ask legitimate questions about my health. She finished w her questions and let me ask one of mine. She then gave me a card from a company " who had brought them lunch" her recommendation based on free lunch. After I left I got a call that I needed to sign some papers. I stopped in the next day and the paper was about a test I didn't agree to take. Wonder what they were given from that company. As a side note. The lady who took my blood didn't even wear a mask.

My daughter and I were patients of hers for many years until she stopped accepting patients with Medicaid for gynecological issues and was barely available for appointments for my doctor. It's extremely hard to get an appointment with her and not the CRNP, and when you have anything that needs to be called in like referrals, it takes them a good while to get it done. When you can get an appointment with her, though, her mannerism is friendly and professional. She's very attentive to your needs and concerns in the office and makes you feel at ease when she's examining you.

The pressure measuring device didn't work on me and they didn't even try to do it manually. They want to do everything very quickly without letting you tell them what your symptoms are. very disappointed

I have had issues in getting the proper referral sent to where I need it. On SEVERAL occasions. It is very hard to get in to see the doctor. And if you call and leave a message it is rare that you hear back from them. On several occasions, I have been put on hold and they hang up on me. I also feel that the doctor wont truly listen to all of what I have to say about my symptoms. Etc. Overall the office eventually does what they need to do. But I think it could definitely use some improvement.! I have had issues in getting the proper referral sent to where I need it. On SEVERAL occasions. It is very hard to get in to see the doctor.

I liked the doctor, but it is very difficult to see her. Also messages were never given to the doctor from the nurses. If you need to get in to see the doctor instead of the NP then you will need to book a minimum of 6-8 weeks in advance. Also when I would call in and leave a message with the nurses (Which I only did 3-4 times over more than a year) I did not hear back 3/4 times. The fourth time I called in because the doctor had tried me out on a new medicine and I was having a horrible reaction to it. I called and left a detailed message and did not hear back for over 24 hours. I am now looking for a new office. I liked the doctor, but it is very difficult to see her.

I dont feel like I'm getting anywhere with her. She friendly and seems like she's going to help out but the second you leave the room so does that helping spirit.

Takes care of most of my family!! She's family not just a Doctor an well worth the wait!!

I love Dr. Maples. She had been my doctor since I was 16 and is the doctor for my husband and kids. Would recommend her to anyone. She is very popular and does sometimes have a wait for appointments.

I have been going to Dr. Maples about 13 years and she is a wonderful doctor . The staff is very sweet and helpful . I would always recommend Dr . Maples to all my friends and family .

Dr.Maples is a very intelligent Dr. She delivered 3 out of 4 of my children and the care that she offers me and my family is one of a kind. I adore her as she listens and treats her patients with a open heart. Needless to say she's been my Dr for 20 years and no complaints from me or my family.
