He is very easy to talk to and explains your problems and solution's for what is going on or issues you are having. He gives you options. He does not jump right to surgery.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Maples, his PA Mason, and the entire office staff. I was very scared going into ankle surgery due to PTSD from a previous surgery that almost cost me my life, but they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. What really stood out to me was my follow-up visit to have my cast and stitches removed. At 37 years old, I had never had stitches before and was honestly more terrified of that appointment than the surgery itself. The staff was incredibly patient, reassuring, and kind — even when I was clearly nervous and probably looked like a baby about it. They took their time, talked me through everything, and made the experience much easier than I ever expected. Everyone was compassionate, and attentive, and the care I received truly exceeded my expectations. I would confidently recommend Dr. Maples and his team to anyone needing orthopedic care.

Dr Maples and his staff are the best. Knee lift surgery in 2018, never a problem never even a twinge but had muscle pain show up behind my knee out of the blue.. turns out I just needed tailored physical therpy. Am in good working order once again, because they listened and diagnosis was made based on my input. I recommend them highly..

Great staff always moved to the back on time or early X-rays always fast and again very friendly and professional. Dr Maples and his team did a great job on my leg and had me walking in 6-8 weeks! Highly recommend!
