The service has been amazing for our family. The doctors are kind, thorough, and ask all the right questions. As a busy family of five, this app has been a life saver

Super impressed with this service. Without a family doctor, it’s easy to feel alone with no care. Very thankful to have options.

So fast and efficient. A process that would have ordinarily involved a referral and a six months wait was completed in less than 72 hours. Wholeheartedly recommend Maple.

At 1:30 am, I realized I had a UTI and was desperate for help. I went online and within ten minutes, I had my prescription faxed to my pharmacy. This service gave me peace of mind.

If it wasn't for this service, I would be clogging up the emergency rooms for a prescription refill. A much needed service in my area.
