Dr. Teixeira is a very gentle soul who has a way of making you feel that you have his complete attention during your appointment. He is obviously very knowledgable in his specialty, but what I love about his personal philosophy is that he does not try to perpetuate treatment. His goal is to get you self-sufficient with ergonomics, exercises, and new habits. That can't be said for other practitioners I've known in the past. I am exceptionally pleased with everything that I have encountered with Dr. Teixeira's office and treatment...I would recommend him to anyone!

If you are a patient or caregiver navigating a cancer diagnosis, I urge you to advocate fiercely…read morefor yourself. After my mom's biopsy confirmed pancreatic cancer with spread to her liver and stomach lining, Dr. Walker told her, "There is no hope. You're going to die." This was said before she'd even met with oncology or discussed a full treatment plan--and it simply wasn't true. Around 30-40% of patients survive the first year, and many go on to live longer with treatment and support. Right after hearing those words, my mom vomited for the first time since getting sick. That's the impact language can have--especially when it's used carelessly. I immediately removed Dr. Walker from her care team. No patient should have their hope taken from them before they've even had a chance to fight. You deserve providers who are honest and humane. If something feels wrong, speak up. It can change the course of your care

This was the worst experience I've ever had in a hospital and I am not kidding! I entered the E.R…read moreon Sunday 7/13/2025, around 6:30ish pm. I thankfully didn't have to wait long since I'm an elder and fell and hit my head. The triage nurse was great, no problem there. The "biggest" problem I had was my assigned nurse in the emergency room. I have "never" had a problem with a lab tech or nurse starting an I.V. This registered nurse twisted & turned both veins so hard they collapsed and then stated I was probably dehydrated but never followed up on that, meaning no fluids given. She gave up and got another nurse who did succeed. After my brief questioning I never saw her again until..... Moving on, the doctor came in a couple hours later, nice guy, apologized and said he'd take care of me and give me something to ease the pain. I rang , at least 6 times "all night long" to please just give me something for my headache. The excuse was it wasn't written yet by doctor, only one doctor and emergencies going on. I get that but it was not all night long. I heard code call once! They finally came and got me for a C.T Scan around10-10:30 pm (glad no bleeding). I couldn't sleep all night, nurse never came in but the sweet CNA did. I finally asked her to get my nurse, she steps in "What can I do for you?" Seriously? I got myself up around 3:00 am to go to the bathroom, mad now, I saw her at the station sitting. She stood up when she saw me and I straight out told her this was the worst experience in a hospital I've ever had. She said nothing, just starred at me! I seriously just wanted to go home. I am scared now I died and went to hell. This was a nightmare! Of coarse, just before dayshift took over (7am) she came in with a pain pill and apologized for the doctor. Day shift took over and I had no problem with them, they were on it. MRI was done at 9:30 am and I was soon discharged never to return. I will drive to Portland next time. P.S What she didn't know is I worked in a hospital for around 30 years as a tech. I know the deal.

My beloved grandfather was a resident here for the past 6 months and he received exceptional care…read moreand support from staff. He felt loved and cared for and he loved them in return. I worked in 2 skilled / nursing facilities in this state for 4 years very recently. I not only personally but professionally know good and bad facilities. This is a good facility. It is on the smaller side but has more of a homey vibe to it than many other facilities. It also seemed to be conducive to staff being able to spend more time with residents and really build good, trusting relationships with them. He was in a 3 person room and it was managed well so that everyone had as much privacy as possible and were treated with respect. My grandfather just passed away at this facility this past week and my mother and I were with him. The outpouring of love and kindness that we received from staff, and that was also given to him in his final day just proved all the more that he spent his final months in the best place he could have been. There are literal angels working here. I can't say enough good about Coastal Manor, but thank you for taking such good care of one of the most important men in my life.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Let me explain... My grandfather who was put on hospice, was put…read morein a room with 2 other men, and absolutely no privacy. The room was completely open & the tiny curtain that was there didn't cover anything and wasn't used to separate the patients. Our first interaction was walking into the room and the room mate on the commode in FRONT of my grandfather. The second interaction was a staff member giving my grandfather meds, I asked what medications they were because he's on hospice and there was a lot of pills. It took the staff member 20 minutes to see what the meds were and couldn't pronounce 1 of them. My grandfather could not swallow and was choking on pills, water, food, etc.; the staff member was forcing the pills into his mouth and I had to step in and tell her no more medications and told my grandfather to spit the pills out. There was also no railings on the bed & every day when we went to visit, my grandfather was falling out of the bed. He was dependent, with no mobility so he could not reposition himself. As a family, we requested that another hospice agency come in and take over his care and to be moved to another facility. The hospice nurse talked to the other facility & agency, and told them he was "eating and drinking fine and doing good". Complete lie. The man couldn't swallow anything and was uncomfortable, in pain & having absent seizures (if they paid attention, that would've been noticed). The nurses at coastal manor were extremely rude to me, when calling to check on him and when asking questions about his care. At one point, they pretty much called me dumb and told me "I didn't know what I was talking about". I don't claim to know everything, however I do work in healthcare and this is my third grandparent to go on hospice and pass. I know the logistics of the process and steps that need to be taken. The hospice agency and this facility did nothing, but cause more distress to my grandfather. We finally made the decision to send him to the hospital, to get another hospice agency to assess him. The assistant director of nursing, care manager & hospice nurse, threatened us by saying "your grandfather won't be admit to the hospital. Your grandfather won't be admitted or accepted to other hospice facility. He'll be sent further away up north". NONE of this happened. He was admitted to the hospital and accepted to the other hospice facility. Where he got the correct medications, was able to be comfortable and pain free, and eventually passed with dignity. They did not send his belongings to the hospital with him. When the family went to pick up the belongings, they didn't know what patient we were talking about. Family had to go into the basement and look for the belongings, where there was hundreds of boxes of patient belongings. We find the belongings and look to see if that's everything, nope. The one thing we wanted, wasn't there. A photo frame that had a picture of our grandmother. We ask where it is and told "I don't know. You can look in his old room". The picture was on someone else's night stand (not where we had put it prior). This is not a place you send a person you love and care about. The staff do not care about the patients, it's not a good environment for patients. The place is gross and has so many problems. We also overheard a staff member say "I hate this job." As well as multiple staff members going out for cigarettes and going straight to patient care, without washing their hands. There was also trash bags in the hallway and just a dingy environment.

When I had my son, it was still during the difficult period of navigating Covid-19 restrictions and my providers and the nurses were so great about communicating with us regarding visitors every step of the way.

As a smaller ER, the team was close knit and very present. The doctor saw us within 20 minutes, and checked on us every 10 minutes or so. The doctor ultimately performed the required stitches with care and precision. Although it was a traumatic incident that brought us there, we were very grateful to the team for the care they gave us and my son throughout. Thank you team. Greatly appreciated.

They came twice a week at night and it made an enormous difference for our family. I was genuinely impressed that they showed up consistently during one of Maine's snowiest winters. It was such a cozy feeling to lie in bed listening to the quiet snowfall, knowing I would get a full night of rest and that my baby was in great hands. They handled our exclusively breastfeeding stage and later our pumping and breastfeeding routine without any issue. Every morning they left the room immaculate and all the bottles washed. It was a relief to wake up to a calm, tidy space. They were also incredibly knowledgeable. When I ran into some challenges with sleep training on my own, they shared advice that was genuinely helpful and new to me, even though I had already sleep trained my first child. We did not use support with our first child. That postpartum period was much harder. I remember finishing the fourth trimester feeling like a shell of a human from lack of sleep. This time I had enough energy to work out, eat reasonably healthy meals, and really enjoy bonding with my baby. I would recommend them to anyone.
