Dr. Heidi Larson is beyond wonderful. Both my wife Holly and I signed up with her in the spring…read more(2021) and are so very, very thankful for her dedication and knowledge that has been a game changer for us and understanding what a PCP is and should be, especially in a world of corporate giant insurance greed. Heidi has gone above and beyond each month- house visits, office visits, personal updates on her app, and member pricing for medications. We had no idea that there was a better world of independent doctors out there who actually care about people and their wellbeing.

I know that everyone has their own tastes when it comes to personal care, but do yourself a favor…read moreand don't use this woman as your doctor. I've had a number of bad doctor experiences over the years, but this was by far the worst. Dr. Larson was recommended to me when I first moved to the Portland area and didn't know where to start when it came to finding a doctor. I've been lucky enough to stay pretty healthy over the past few years, so I didn't have to see her often, but I don't think there was ever a time I walked out of her office thinking 'Wow, I'm so glad this woman is my health care provider.' The straw that broke this camel's back was a recent experience over the 4th of July holiday. I called the office on the 4th (which was a Thursday) and left a message, acknowledging the holiday and asking to please be called ASAP. I did not get a call until the following Wednesday, which is an eternity later when you're sick. The other staff her is generally uninterested and slightly unpleasant, and when I signed up for their online services I started getting spam emails and phone calls. In the time that I used Dr. Larson as my physician, she referred me to an incompetent ENT who retired a few weeks after seeing me (so glad I trusted my gut and got out of there before engaging in procedures that would have needed months of follow up). Maybe we're getting too personal now, but my point is that this was the worst doctor I've ever been to, and people shouldn't have to suffer through mediocre health care, especially when there are awesome doctors out there (and it's not like we don't pay for the visits).

They are basically a "legal drug dealer." They call paitents over Facebook messenger, charge them…read more$225 tor a 2-3 minute Facebook messenger phone call, and call in your meds. Half the time, they don't show up and still charge you. I'm pretty sure this is 100% illegal.

I hardly ever write reviews but this one is so worth it. I have to admit that I was hesitant about…read morethe membership fee for this practice, but after having had health problems for over a year now and my previous doctor at Martin's Point not knowing what to do with me, I decided to bite the bullet, and especially out at ease after my first consultation with Dr. Blake Smith. I am SO glad that I did. After that, we had two incredibly in-depth appointments when I signed on, and I honestly felt like a movie star. I've NEVER had such an amazing experience at a doctor's office before. I actually loathe going to the doctor and it gives me anxiety. Not anymore. Gone are the days of long waits in the waiting room with a bunch of sick people, plus the longest wait in the exam room to be followed by just being glazed over by yet another doctor I've never seen before. I actually get to see my real doctor at each appointment and I can tell that she genuinely cares for what's going on with me, and she wants dig in and to get to the bottom of it. She took her time at each appointment and gave me several options on paths of treatment instead of just pushing pills on me and then seeing me out the door. We talked about diet, exercise, mental health, you name it. And the tests they ran were quite extensive, something my previous doctors never did. And anytime I've sent messages in to my doctor, she has been super responsive. To top it all off, I can't believe that I actually I have my doctor's CELL PHONE number! That is unheard of! Not only am I so pleased with the doctor's deep knowledge and incredible attention, the bedside manner and FEEL of the place is just unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life. From the time I walk in to the charming office and am greeted by the amazingly friendly, supportive and responsive nurses/staff, to the fresh SPA ROBE I was given for my exam, plus a huge snack basket to choose from after my fasting blood test, I felt like a princess or even better, a member of the family....at the DOCTOR'S OFFICE. I've never had a doctor and entire team who I felt I could call my own, and now I do. I've finally found what I've been looking for all these years! Thank you Dr. Blake Smith & team for making me feel so at home and well taken care of!

I'm taking the time out of my ridiculously busy workday to tell all of you how great this place is…read more I'm a consultant who works out of state, so I never have time to see my primary care doctor when they're open during regular business hours. I'm usually across the country during those times. I walked in here on a Saturday a couple hours prior to closing, and my wait was maybe 5 minutes. Everyone from the person who checked me in to the nurse and physician's assistant was unexpectedly exceptional. It was $35 with my insurance. If you're ill and in need of some urgent care, then come here. If you're bleeding out or anything life threatening though, I'd still recommend you go to the ER.

I had a very disappointing experience at ConvenientMD in Westbrook. I arrived around 12 PM in…read moresevere back pain, completed the registration process, and waited for nearly two hours while people who arrived after me were seen before me. When I asked for clarification, I was told I wasn't registered, despite having completed everything and being told I was checked in. I also received conflicting information regarding my insurance and reimbursement, and when I asked to speak with a manager, I felt like I was being given the runaround. I also had concerns about private information being discussed across the reception area where others could potentially hear. The most frustrating part is that i left without any information about the reimbursement just a paper and card. The female behind the counter put it down that i was only there for ten minutes. My pharmacy information was also incorrect. I hope management addresses this situation and reviews how patients are being checked in and treated. There was no professionalism and I hope no other colored person has to experience what I did. I wasn't able to get her name but it was the woman who worked behind the front desk today. All the nurses and especially the doctor were very kind and helpful. I really appreciate thoes who helped and listened.

Dr. Robbins is an expert in endometriosis excision, only 1 in about 100 in the world. He does not…read moreaccept insurance, so he is out of network and therefore more expensive than other gynecological surgeons. However, he has a track record of 86% of endometriosis patients not needing follow-up surgeries. This is possible due to his ability to remove tissue from major organs and structures - he takes his time to accomplish this (my surgery was over 7 hours). Other surgeons use ablation and/or need to perform laparotomies to work with the intestines, but Dr. Robbins has the skill to perform major surgery laproscopically. This cuts recovery time in half and limits complications. Dr. Robbins is also very gentle and patient, and he likes to educate his patients about their disease - you won't find other surgeons who take the time. He prides himself on evolving his technique after 30 years of experience, as well as for listening to his patients. For endometriosis patients with a history of poor treatment, missed diagnoses, and being brushed off, Dr. Robbins will feel like a miracle.

Dr Robbins is amazing! He is exceptional at what he does. I had a partial hysterectomy done…read morelaproscopically. The recovery time was 4-6 days verses the standard 4-6 weeks. He has been doing this along time and it is beyond proficient and detailed. Recently, I had an urgent episode, a twisted ovary-excrucitatingly painful. Dr Robbins made himself available to resolve the problem and 2 days after surgery, I am resting and moving about. I am so impressed by his work that I realized that not all surgeons are alike even if they are doing the "same" procedure.
