Every geriatric person should be able to have a team like this. Unfortunately they are not taking any new patients so many of my friends are not treated by teams who understand the medical needs of people over 60. Also the doors to clinic are heavy and hard to open especially for those of who use walkers, canes and wheelchairs.

Dr. Smith takes great care in connecting with her patients and their families. She listens to their concerns, asks questions to garner a deeper understanding, and then takes the time to engage the patient and family in the decision making process. Our family is grateful that Dr. Smith has been part of our father's care team. She has become a trusted resource during a complicated, emotional, and stressful time.

The care team at the geriatric center, Dartmouth Clinic, always has helped me with my mom as I'm helping to take care of her and the only one. They always listened and cared and helped me in any way that I needed. If it would be prescribing a medicine or helping me with assistance with paperwork or notes or any kind of help for caretaking for my mom, that would help her. They always were willing to listen and help me in any way they could and it's been a pleasure having them help us. Thank you.

Being a patient in this practice is something that I am eternally grateful for. Dr Carlen Smith and her team are the best I could ever hope for. From the front desk to the unseen triage nurse on the phone, they provide compassionate care. Dr Smith's knowledge, diagnostic skills, and concern for patients is a formidable combination. She is an asset to Maine General and to our geriatric community. She is so much more than a doctor in a lab coat. She has enriched the lives of my husband & me.

The doctor that my mother saw and the person that was with her, they were excellent. They made you feel at ease, like you were doing the right thing, and worked my mother's medicine out. They were just number one. Thank you. Bye.
