Southern Maine Health Care

Dr. Muscat is very knowledgeable. He is empathetic and seems to like his job very much. He is careful with his words and tone and makes the appointments both human and humane. He offers the kind of appointment people wanted and most often received about 20 years ago. I recommend him to all the ...

very friendly and compassionate, takes the time to explain all to you and answers any and all questions.. Gives you encouragement but is also very honest....much appreciated

I saw Dr. Parent for over 10 years. However, today, is my last day with him as my Primary doc. I called his staff for a refill. The office mgr returned my call, and told me I required an office visit because it was over a year since my last appt; because of the covid-19 outbreak, a phone visit...

I know for a fact that I have been so successful in my opioid recovery. Due to Dr. Bilotti's personalized treatment and his attention to my needs as his patient. Based upon my prior treatments at two other facilities. In Portland Maine for my past alcoholism addiction. I will recommend his...

I sent Dr. Hanify's office the medical form portion of my unemployment paperwork 3 weeks ago, and instead of faxing it directly to the Department of Labor (like it says to right on the paper!!), they mailed it back to me directly, and now it's not going to be able to get to where it needs to go...

My experience with Dr. Fels has been a Godsend. I’ve spend years suffering and transferring from physician to physician until I was referred by a family member. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a compassionate professional who knows exactly how to treat, listen, and care.

Outstanding! I have seen Dr Thompson several times over the years. Great guy very personable. Always feel very comfortable and confident in his hands. Highly recommended him.

Dr. Doehne is a very compassionate person. She is also very knowledgeable nad caring. If she is not sure about an issue she is willing to consult with others on your behalf. She is so aware of your health needs and keeps track of all referrals. She is so good as a PCP. Her smile, warm manner...

My wife and I have been privileged of having Dr. Loiselle as our PCP since he began his practice at Intermed. We could not be in better hands with a primary care physician. He's intelligent and caring. Despite an incredibly busy practice and the issues of today's managed care, Dr. Loiselle is...

This doctor is now at SMHS in Biddeford, ME. He never saw the patient face to face in the ER yet signed the chart. Failed to consult other medical professionals who were familiar with the patient. Likewise, never wrote orders for the meds that the patient had previously been prescribed. I was...

Without a doubt the best experience I have experienced with a doctor in three years. Dr. Hodroff is kind and listens. He is decisive, proactive and wastes no time to get to the bottom of it. I was impressed that during my first appointment he performed a non-invasive diagnostic procedure on the...

Dr. Kopelman is an amazing pediatrician. She's been all of my children's Dr and even after moving a hf hour away we still commute to keep our appointments with her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kathryn Galbraith for several years and have been extremely pleased with her. I could not recommend anyone more highly.

I'm 70 year old male and have had 5 family doctors. Dr. Wendy Cathcart is the best doctor i'v ever had. I feel lucky to have her as my doctor. I've never had a doctor care about me like she does. She goes the extra mile and then some.

Great thorough care . I was very happy when my DR Retired and i was recommended Kennebunk family practice for my primary care physician and family Dr. A caring and thorough Dr that cares for her patients is rare and I highly recommend

I saw Dr Dolan for symptoms related to MS. He did not do a physical exam and offered gabapentin almost immediately. The whole appointment lasted 10 minutes and 5 of those were spent trying to convince me to take a drug. NO PHYSICAL EXAM how can you prescribe medication without even giving a physical...

It took me about seven years of wanting (and debating) an abdominoplasty (full tummy tuck) before I decided to do it - and the only reason that finally convinced me was finding the right surgeon. Dr. Richard H. Kutz is the best out there. He is exceptionally professional, incredibly smart at what he...

Wish it could be ZERO stars. Don’t waste your time. The most incompetent medical office ever. And I’ve been to many. They all suck but this on will raise your blood pressure

I made an appointment at Manchester Urology with Dr Noble. I went in for pain under my rib cage possibly due to a kidney issue. I had an ultrasound and ct. He reviewed my tests and I was told by Dr. Noble I had a good size kidney stone, but it had not travelled into the urinary tract yet. He...

Dr. Galbraith is really wonderful if you want to work on your health and wellness with a practitioner who listens carefully and will help you develop a plan for it.

Misdiagnosed me and put me on strong immunosupressants, despite all my labs being normal. Almost killed me.

Through and caring, very knowledgeable.

I was seen by Dr. Dolan twice, once in 2013 and again recently, the first time I wont even mention what his inappropriateness was, since it has been years, then again I don't think there is a statute of limitations on these things. But this time, he did not hear a word I said, typed on the computer...

So kind and knowledgeable .

Dr. Parent is caring and compassionate, he takes time to listen. Very important nowadays when most doctors block 10-15 minutes with you. Dr. Parent is down to earth, talks to you on your level.

I met Bronna Eckelman for the 1st time today at my appt. She has a wonderful bedside manner, thorough, caring, listens, & maintains a warm & pleasant smile from beginning to end! Huge thumbs up from this patient!

Doctor Lucas is wonderful. She has a dry sense of humor, but I like that. She is thorough and does not push testing on you that you do not want. She takes time to listen to what you have to say, and values your opinions. I have been going to her for 15 years and will continue as long as she is in...

I had a nasty fracture that occurred a week before I saw him. He did a great job explaining the xrays and giving me options. Surgery was scheduled and done very well. I regained total use of the fractured area. Downsides - sometimes a long time in the waiting room; PA could be a bit more...

Saw Dr Carpenter for a Rheumatological issue. For the majority of the appointment he talked about himself and his upcoming biking trip. I hope he had Fun!! I brought in detailed notes about my problems. He literally refused to read them I tried twice to hand them to him. He filled out a...

The wait time for Dr. Stevens is only because he is thorough and each patient is important, however follow up appointments can be challenging as people book weeks in advance. I really don't know what I would have done without Dr. Stevens expertise and knowledge. After two jaw surgeries and braces...

Dr Evans helped my husband thru his journey . He and his staff were kind, full of compassion and support for the patient and their family My husband and I trusted his judgement on the type of treatment that best suited him

I had my son 4/7/90. Without Dr Pinette and her husband I would not have had my beautiful healthy son. I had five miscarriage and a stillborn before being recommended to them. 4/8/92 I had my second son with their help. They worked to figure out the reason for my losses and with a plan if action I...

Was a patient for over a year here. The doctor would be constantly over an hour late for my appointments. Come in just to hand a piece of paper. Besides the doctor the other people that work that got my prescriptions and PA's wrong. To the point where I would go sometime weeks between my meds....

He has been my physician for over 20 years. He is an advocate for his patients. Very thorough and professional. He truly cares

Dr. Stevens is the most compassionate, caring dr. I’ve ever met. I treats each patient as his only one and each visit as you’re first. He cares, listens, and is prompt on everything. I’m very very great full for Dr. Stevens. Thank you C

For years I was affected by Hyponatremia. No one said anything until a Doctor of totally different specialty called, worried that my sodium was so low that seizures were imminent. I also hadn't been told I had Stage 1 Kidney Disease before then (obtained old lab tests: I did). Dr. DiPerna is the...

I was referred to Dr. Taggart a little over two years ago for foot/ankle pain. He was able to assess and explain the cause of the pain right off. He answered my questions and was able to prescribe custom orthotics. He put me at ease immediately with his friendly approach. After two years as...

I cant say enough good things about Dr Johnson. He repaired both of my rotator cuffs with excellent outcome. He is a perfectionist and cares greatly about his patients and their recovery.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Wingard. The care and concern she has for her patients is like no other. It's refreshing to have a doctor that makes you feel so at ease. I will continue to put my trust and confidence in Dr. Wingard for my heart health.

My hand doctor retired and his replacement was awful. I had heard great things about dr Matthews so I switched to him. He knew all about my condition and was very personable and funny. He made one of my procedures a lot easier by just the way he and his nurse Michelle were talking with me...

Hands down - the best musculoskeletal Dr I’ve ever been to. His intuition as to what is out of whack and how to make it better is impressive.

I am saddened by Dr. Howells semiretirement and he will be missed. I first met him as a RN Patient Advocate for my friend who was suffering from Pancreatic cancer. He was then kind enough to take me on as a patient for a variety of GI problems. His knowledge, professionalism, patience and what he...

Dr. Kahn is the best in his field of expertise. I have been with him for about 10 yrs and he has treated me with the utmost respect. He has always taken the time to explain any questions I may have and when I’ve been struggling with any change in my back or neck pain we talk about my options. I’ve...

The best I have ever been treated by.

Explains things so even I can understand, great doctor, very nice lady.

Dr Johnson performed a digital nerve repair on my finger. He saved my finger. did a b great job on the nerve restoration. He cares very much for his patients, and is a great surgeon.

Saved & changed my life last year at this time. Professional, and on this Thanksgiving - wanted to say thanks to him & his staff.

I have had Dr Cote for a number of years - all was well until I needed attention! The staff does not send referrals; ALWAYS puts you on hold and makes you feel you are disrupting their day. I never received a call from the doctor (or the office) following a very serious illness that I was...

Dr. Fraser has been my PCP for over 20 years. I find him thorough, caring and very helpful. I have a number of chronic medical issues. I truly feel I have a partner in my own healthcare with Dr. Fraser. I feel respected and cared for by him. Many medical providers talk down to patients. I have...

I trust her 100%. She has been my doc for decades and truly cares about her patients. I always have a list of items/questions/issues to discuss and she listens to every single one of them. Every time. She’s down to earth and makes you feel at ease. She knows me well and that means everything. I...

I was away on vacation in Florida and got very sick. I called Dr. Blake Smith to talk about my symptoms with her. She was very sympathetic and understanding. She sent in a prescription for me so that I was able to make the flight home. She is continuing to care for me and follow my progress. Thank...

I really thought Dr. Pier heard me and was there to help me until I read my chart after seeing him. I have had chronic pain from a neck injury for nine years and when I saw him I broke down crying telling him I couldn’t deal with the pain anymore and essentially begged him to help me find a way to...

An excellent physician, very good listener, articulate, engaging...simply first rate!!

As a new patient, Dr. Paranya made me feel very welcome. She was extremely easy to talk with and allowed as much time as I needed. Her exam was gentle.

Metabolic Leader switched me to Dr. Babirak when their other provider left the practice (can't blame her). Like others who have commented here, my experience with Dr. Babirak has been disappointing. He is dismissive, condescending and acts like he knows all and the patient knows nothing. He stares...

Always a great experience. She listens to her patients and help them in any way she can. she is down to earth,sweet,caring and very knowledgeable about a Plethora of symptoms/diseases. I drive 90 min just to see her every four weeks because that’s how much she Is worth it. I wouldn’t change drs for...

I am a patient of Dr Thompson’s. The receptionist said the nurse would return my phone call the next day to answer some basic questions. I have phoned twice and it’s been almost a week and I still have not heard back from the nurse. I have had similar issues with this specific office in the past....

Many Visits with Dr. Kutz, he was always on time, explained clearly to me the procedure's. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kutz.

After nearly four decades of regular psychiatric sessions with other practitioners, and scores of antidepressant medications, Dr. Bilotti was the first medical professional who was able to work with me to provide relief from my treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. Using a combination of...

I am very impressed with Dr. Bilotti. I have suffered with depression most of my life. I have good days and bad days, but, I got to the place that I call "THE BLACK HOLE", and no matter what I did, I couldn't get out.....I started seeing Dr. Bilotti, and, he assured me he could help me, but, it was...

I have visited Dr. Blake many times. She is a dedicated physician who really loves her patients. She listens to hear about all of their physical problems. She recently helped me with my chronic bronchitis. I have suffered with it for many years and she has helped me control it. She and her staff are...

Dr. Blake takes her time to know her patients and find out their overall health. She helped me with constant problems with my knees. She then referred me to a specialist to help solve my knee pain.

Dr. Stevens has helped me with various forms of chronic pain that I had previously expected to have for life. He helped me achieve a level of relief beyond anything I could have hoped for. In addition to his effectiveness, he is kind, patient, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I highly recomend...

Dr. Buxton is amazing! He was super busy and backed up when I saw him today. Even still, he spent over an hour explaining everything thoroughly to me and providing me with options. Never made me feel rushed and he had a great sense of humor!!! Highly recommend!

Dr Blake is a wonderful, caring doctor. Whatever symptoms I have, she always takes care of all of them! I also have osteopathic manipulation done. Immediately my pain is decreased!

Dr. Blake is a kind and understanding person. She works well with patients and staff. Her staff is efficient and works well with Doctor Blake.

Dr. Blake is a wonderful, caring primary physician. I have been with her for over three years now and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have a doctor who listens, and gets to the bottom of your issues. I had a horrible issue with reactions to my medications and had seen many physicians...

Amazing doctor, totally different than the big practices. She is really smart and makes her patients feel comfortable. Patients can easily reach her and her staff unlike other practices. I never have to wait.

I have been a patient of Dr. Temkin for 10+ yrs. He took the time to get to know me before just diving in and doing all kinds of medication or procedures with me. He continues to take the time to see me no matter how busy the scheduling gets. Never Judge this Dr. Other Drs. go to Dr. Temkin to treat...

Love him! He’s been my doctor for over 20 years! No he’s not old, I am! He’s very compassionate and a great listener! Hate seeing a few bad reviews! ??? If they saw a different doctor or was a little confused!

What can you say about a doc that drops an entire family when his case load is supposedly too high. In this case being with him since he started in the 90’s. No discussion, criteria unknown, and with very few other options in the “practice”. So much for continuity of care. Intermed has become a...

She's a great doctor, delivered my last baby 15 years ago. Easy to talk to also. Wish she had delivered my other 2 children.

I have been seeing Dr. Gartner-Fanburg for almost two years for an autoimmune disease and I have found her to be fantastic to work with. She is very professional, very thorough, explains things very well, and always gives me all the time I need and never makes our meetings feel rushed. She also is a...

I love Dr Doehne! All of the positives above plus a great sense of humor. So glad she's my PCP. Anne Fowler, Portland,

Dr. Matthews operated on my hand two times. The first surgery was not successful. He suggested a second surgery a few months later. My hand was in worse condition after the second surgery than before the first; and now very painful. Dr. Matthews suggested a third surgery. I was confused; as I was...

I had seen 2 other doctors about my condition. Neither doctor seemed to care that I was getting sicker and sicker. Finally I saw Dr. Yahwak. He took time to listen to me. He didn’t rush me. He even gave me his email for direct contact! He scheduled surgery for the next week . I had been dealing...

I saw Dr Dolan for continual nerve pain in my foot. I have never seen a doctor try and wash his hands of someone so quickly. His immediate response was I had a nerve problem in my lower back. When I explained I had had a MRI and been seen by a back specialist he huffed about it. He finally reviewed...

Alway positive, always honest. Took the time to explain how cancer effects different organs. Throughly explained all treatment options. Made a treatment plan that work for us. He makes office visits fun. Thank you Dr. Thomas and his staff.

Dr Henninger has always been very helpful. She keeps on top of my medical conditions and meds at all times. I like that Dr Henninger and her associate, Lisa care about me personally. They always ask and really listen when I share my concerns. I always feel very comfortable confiding in them with...

I have been seeing Dr Bittler for over 20 years. She is very professional and knowledgeable, and has been one of the best medical doctors I have ever seen. When I thought the pain I was experiencing was related to my endometriosis, she correctly diagnosed it as a gall bladder issue (which I needed...

Amazing doctor. Appropriately hesitant to offer surgery. I appreciate he discouraged me from surgery and I am doing great. Great reputation.

Wouldn’t even give us an evaluation. Maybe it’s because we don’t have health insurance, maybe it’s because my son is 15... I don’t know, they refused to tell us why.

I had a rare type of breast cancer called Paget's Disease of the Nipple. As soon as she saw me she knew right away what it was and how to treat it (mastectomy). She was kind, thorough and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her and her staff!

Simply fantastic Dr Stillson has been my primary physician for over 15 years. He listens and explains. Fantastic doctor and person

Best doctor I have ever had attend to me.

All doctors should be as competent and caring as Dr. Lazos!

Was referred to him because he is a rheumatologist according to southern maine health care. Later find out he just has an interest in it. Hes basically another family doctor with no specialty in it. Doctor was rude brought in a typed sheet describing my symptoms literally refused said no thank you...

He is the best, his staff is wonderful and you could not ask for a better physician, he actually cares about his patients and shows it.

Exceptional , caring, takes time to listen to you. Treats you like a person

Fire their office manager Katie. She is the coldest, rudest, person I have ever met. No customer service skills. Perpetuates stigma around mental health. Has no problem making inappropriate comments to you. I left the practice primarily because of her. Nobody deserves to have to interact with her....

very patient with questions; very thorough explanation of all issues (prostate); offered a range of options with + and - of each.

Love Dr. McGuckin! He doesn't beat around the bush. Explains things so you understand them. I will miss him! I am going to have a difficult time finding another Doctor as caring as he is!

I had a knee replacement more than 2 years ago. I was positively ecstatic with the results. If I require a second knee replacement I will return. The staff is thorough in explanation of procedures. Answers all questions candidly. Reluctant to take patients who are not willing to do their share...

Very thorough explained what she was doing and ran tests.

The stars aligned for me the day that I was told Dr. Evans would be my oncologist! Upon meeting Dr. Evans, he immediately put my mind at ease with his compassionate bedside manner, overall knowledge about my disease & treatment plan, the details he provided as to how he would guide me through my...

Mr. Dolan refused to followup with a referral he wrote that was rejected. Multiple attempts to contact his office via phone and email were ignored or I was told he was working on it. This continued for about 4 weeks then he refused to return phone calls or emails. I would strongly suggest going to a...
