My interview with the nurse was quick, efficient, and easy. The x-ray tech was there pronto, was pleasant and fun, and very quickly did the x-rays. Immediately thereafter the doctor came in with his fellow, was direct but easy and right to the point. "What can we do to help you today?" After a thorough and consultative exam, an explanation to me about what he thought was going on, a resolution was forthcoming immediately. Directly thereafter the nurse was back, efficiently showed me the exercises I needed to do, and sent me to check out. Check out was immediate and pleasant, and I was in the elevator before I knew what hit me. I know I've used the word immediate repeatedly in this review, however it must be pointed out that my opinion is this not a word associated with your average doctor visit. Particularly not when you're in your patient which I was in this circumstance. I was in and out in one hour which is incredible for new patient visit. AND they were nice about it!

This is a truly exceptional place…read more I tore my MCL four months back, and as a runner, it completely destroyed me and my whole life. I felt like I had no hope. I was walking home from the bus station one day and saw this place. I figured, why not call? What's to lose? They immediately were so kind, took my insurance, helped me. My PT, Dahne, is absolutely incredible. She has helped me go from barely being able to walk, to being able to climb Katahdin and run seven miles. She has listened to my goals and helped me achieve them- and it's hard work, but she pushes me and teaches me about how strong our bodies can be. I have never met another person that has inspired me so much in my fitness journey. I am so, so grateful for her. I'm still healing- MCL still gets spicy- and I'm so glad I have Dahne to help me. Being a chubby girl with an injury is embarrassing. But I never feel judged here. I cannot recommend enough.

Everyone from Sunny the patient care coordinator who is so quick to respond to any question to my amazing PT Liz to the other staff and patients, they're all kind, patient and use the most insanely cool high tech equipment. Seriously I felt like they could have rebuilt Steve Austin the six million dollar man, they definitely have the technology... :) I also love that you can check in when you arrive with your phone, very cool.

Dr. Juris is highly skilled in his craft and takes the time to explain pre and post op procedures. Excellent doctor. My only negative is the parking. The office shares the same location as the AAA corporate office - parking can be very scarce.

Outside of surgery -I was with an Aircast only to find this overly large fitting further damaged my foot. Portland Foot and Ankle has left me with medical complications and thousands of $ in medical bills. I hate posting negative reviews- but my personal experience was life changing. If you need foot care-my opinion is to carefully research the doctor and practice. There are incredible surgeons out there!

Dr. Katz and his staff have been with me for over ten years and they are excellent. Mention Dr. Katz as your primary care physician anywhere in the greater Portland area and you will hear "You're so lucky" and "I've heard he's excellent." He is well regarded in the medical community as an experienced, compassionate, and excellent doctor. To his patients, he is quite simply, the best. He truly cares about his patients, listens to them, and goes above and beyond to make sure that their health and well-being is his primary concern.

Over these decades he has treated me for all kinds of ailments and conditions, referring me to the proper specialist as necessary. He is knowledgeable and current on medical issues. Dr. Barr also is a good listener, and flexible in response to the needs and interests I have expressed. I couldn't give him a higher rating as a doctor.

I had voice loss, hair loss, extreme heart, chest and bodily pain, air hunger, snapping/cracking joints, stabbing breast pain with swelling, wrist pain, shoulder pain, weight loss, heavy cycles, bruising, pigment loss and this goes on and on. He spoke to me like a child saying no anxiety meds for 30 days, no appointment. I searched high and low for an MD as I have children to raise. By the time I got help it was arthritic pain levels, swollen knees, ankles and leg, I was falling down, had sever GI issues from Bartonella invading my GI tract. I hope no one is ever treated this way again as it was inhumane.

Honestly the more often I am seen here the more I love it…read more I recently was suffering from a bronchial flu. Like a hideous combo of bronchitis and the flu. I had been in bed for two days and was due back at work but knew I couldn't make it thru an hour of it so I drove to the hospital. It's early afternoon on a Thursday and they had a 3 hour wait in the ER. Well I was absolutely too sick to sit in a waiting room for 3 hours- and that's just to get to step one. So I got back in my car and called Maine Med family practice and found out that they do have urgent care so I could be seen that day at a designated time just by a different doctor- but one with my records on hand. So much better . Seriously unless it's 3am and I'm in an accident I would ALWAYS prefer to just use my urgent care!! So today I had my physical. I received 3 vaccinations and was totally happy to realize the importance of having a regular doctor at a decent hospital. Going over the paperwork they gave me while there I realized that in the last few months they had amassed my entire medical history. I lived seeing shots I received in 1988. I don't have to remember that my Tetanus was due this year. They reminded me. Maybe it cuz I'm from a big city in California but insurance for me there always meant ER visits or clinic visits. Never this personalized care. They called me to set up the appt for my yearly physical. I didn't have to remember. Gotta love that. One less thing on the calendar to set reminders for.
