Everyone at Maine General has been really nice and efficient in every department that I have visited. They are all very knowledgeable and seem to really care about their patients.

Everything was fine except that I thought that I should leave with some notes or an aftercare summary or information on high fiber diets and low fiber diets. I think that was the only issue that I had with the care. Thank you.

Beth is great and the liver specialist in Portland told me I was in great hands. So I think I have a great team helping me with the problem I have.

My only complaint was the length of time it took from my scheduled appointment until I saw the doctor. It was over hour. I understand there is a shortage of staff, but felt this was extremely lengthy. I actually thought they forgot me. Perhaps a little more time between appointments would be helpful for both the patient and the staff. Thank you

Bethany Gates was very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns and explained what was going to happen. We needed to wait for the results of my blood work to determine my treatment plan.

Dr Gates looked beyond my initial concerns about diarrhea and also is checking into my acute fatigue which has accompanied my PCa. I appreciate her thoughtful and thorough approach.
