Chelsea was excellent. I have been trying for years to get a primary doctor at Maine General and would be so pleased if that could happen. I'm already a patient in Gastro and Ent.
January 17, 2026
Excellent all the way around!
January 15, 2026
I LOVED the provider I saw! Unfortunately, I can not remember her name. She was "real" and down to earth; just what I needed. She stated several things to earn credibility with me but did not go over the top. She is someone I would love to see on a regular basis.
January 11, 2026
She was responsive to my questions and understood my concerns.
January 11, 2026
Thank you to the professional staff and Chelsea Brown, PA for your efficient and caring manner.
January 07, 2026
Hi, I was just at the Express Care and had a great visit. I felt comfortable the whole time and normally I'm really nervous to go do walk-in stuff like that. She answered all of the questions I had and additional stuff as well.
January 01, 2026
I was lucky to hit a slow time. I was in and out. Cared for wonderfully, with Dr having time to even chat.
January 01, 2026
My staff on New Year's Day was fantastic! They were caring and understood my concerns. And I felt like they were as excited to give me an answer about why I felt like I did
December 31, 2025

December 14, 2025
She was very professional she took her time with me. She is very caring. It was a very very good experience . I would definitely come again. Everybody was so friendly.
December 08, 2025
I was sent to the emergency room and the doctor there felt that I didn't need to be there. Can express care do blood work?
December 08, 2025
The nurse, and doctor was very concerned about what I was experiencing. The medication I was prescribed helped me greatly. I'm glad that they noticed the issue even though it could have been a few other things that could have been wrong with me. But, they guessed correctly thank goodness.
December 03, 2025
Wait times were short, everyone I came in contact with was professional, friendly, and helpful. I have always had positive experiences at express care and have recommended it to friends.... Thank you!
December 03, 2025
The student and provider I had during my visit were extremely wonderful.
December 01, 2025
Normally, I don't go to Express Care unless I absolutely feel like I need to, almost an emergency, because of the wait time. But this time I got there around 10 o'clock on I think it was a weekday and I had a 10 to 15 minute wait, 10 to 15 minute wait and the receptionist was very enjoyable to talk to.
November 22, 2025
I was not impressed with the dictated note because the provider stated that I was talking about significant financial stress that is not the stress I was discussing I was talking about the stress of my father passing. Furthermore, her note stated that she told me to seek my PCP within 3 to 5 days again that's not something that we spoke of so I really feel like the dictation was not a true representation of the visit.
November 14, 2025
Chelsea Brown was the best physicians assistant I have ever had anywhere and anytime. Plus we had the same birthday
November 10, 2025

The process was ok but felt rushed. The provider spent about five minutes with me. It felt like McDonald's level healthcare.

This was an exceptionally good experience, excellent I should say. Not only was the staff friendly and professional, but the PA who attended me was outstanding. She explained everything.

The follow-up was way more personal and speedy than expected. I felt like I was truly cared about.
October 04, 2025
I had to ask a lot of questions in order to get answers about his diagnosis. As a first time mother, in the future, I'd like to be given as much information as possible without needing to ask follow up questions.
September 29, 2025
The attending physician was kind, curtious, professional and made my visit just like I like them. Quick to the point, informational and out the door!
September 29, 2025
Dr Brown was amazing, and made me felt cared for for the first time in a while. Even though she isn't my primary, she showed much knowledge about my existing PKD and was able to assess my needs quickly and with great empathy. Thank you again.

Team was professional and efficient and my waiting time was minimized. Because of my situation, I was sent over to the emergency department.

September 05, 2025
Compassionate care.
August 27, 2025
The visit was quick and insightful. The ER at Me. Gen. was called and arrangements made for an ultrasound to be performed right away, letting me avoid the lengthy process of going through the emergency dept. This was most appreciated, being seen in a very timely fashion.
August 27, 2025
I felt like I was in good hands.
August 24, 2025
The pa that I had was the best i have ever had in there. She is fantastic and knows her stuff, but also friendly just great. Don't let her go.

Chelsea saw me in the Gardiner urgent care and was amazing. Very thorough, listened and I felt very confident with care.
August 07, 2025
All of the staff answered my questions and were very helpful. I also was told things that may happen with my medication or symptoms.
August 03, 2025
Just went in for prednisone for poison sumac which I had had for over a week.
August 03, 2025
Everyone that I saw was very nice and helpful to me in every way answering my questions and helping in my recovery.
August 03, 2025
Chelsea and team were excellent during my two visits. Very much appreciated
August 01, 2025
Yes, the staff was all very nice and friendly and helpful. And the provider was very good. She went out of her way. They had to send us to the emergency care ultimately, but she provided a summary of my mother's health care issues. And that was very, very helpful. We ended up going to Boston, ultimately, for her emergency eye surgery, but thank you for all the good care that you provide. We appreciate you. Thanks.
August 01, 2025
I would appreciate having an idea of my 'next steps'. I understood regarding only one of the 2 swabs taken.
August 01, 2025
Service was prompt, provider listened and communicated well, and diagnosis, treatment, and next steps explained clearly. Thank you.
July 31, 2025

July 23, 2025
It was the best express care visit I've ever had, and I highly recommend Chelsea Brown, PA. I wish she could be my PCP!
July 21, 2025
Although no one likes to go to Express Care because you know the wait could be long; however, it was reasonable. ALL the staff were pleasant and very helpful! I was so appreciative of this experience as I NEVER have to go to Express Care. Thank you so very much!
July 21, 2025
Chelsea Brown PA Saved my life! Initial assessment did not show a stroke But she said I MUST go ER Immediately, I didn't want to BUT her insistence that I must go SAVED MY LIFE. MRI at augusta general showed i had a stroke & I underwent an operation to save my life. I'm crying as I write "Many people had a hand in saving my life BUT, it started with Chelsea Brown PA assessment and insistence that I go to the ER. "Chelsea Saved my Life!"
July 21, 2025
Exemplary care. Very little wait time. Caring and patient.
July 21, 2025
Everyone professional kind and considerate
July 19, 2025
All good. Staff always attentive and compassionate
July 18, 2025
Thank you
July 18, 2025
Chelsea Brown is a provider I would see regularly if she was not at Express Care. I trust her more than my PCP, and I am very demanding when it comes to choosing a qualified medical professional. She is a highly qualified provider.
July 10, 2025
Yes, I'm always very impressed with Express Care. It is a very useful tool since it's always difficult to get a schedule with your regular physician. So I really appreciated it. And it's always a pleasure to do that because everyone from the receptionist to everyone involved is always very kind. So thank you very much.
July 10, 2025
MaineGeneral Health Express Care in Augusta is gold standard. I've been to many different Express Care facilities throughout the state of Maine, and this was the best experience I have ever had. I work in healthcare myself and healthcare currently is a hellscape. But in that moment, while I was at Maine General Express Care, it didn't feel like a hellscape. Keep doing what you're doing!
July 05, 2025
Everyone was friendly and helpful . Thanx
July 04, 2025
I have always appreciated the care I have gotten at urgent care as well as when my PA was there before she retired. I highly recommend this group of service services to people in my community.
July 04, 2025
They did a great job notifying me after that I was on the correct antibiotics.
July 04, 2025
They were reassuring. They did some tests, and I'm on target to healing now. And I would recommend those ladies to anyone.
June 27, 2025
The staff during the visit were extremely helpful and friendly. Your telephone system to call back needs to be reviewed because it is very confusing. Thank you.
June 25, 2025
Very pleasant experience.....
June 23, 2025
The provider went above and beyond she read my past history and did some tests that were not addressed with my Doctors. Every happy with the visit.
June 13, 2025
The staff was very friendly and professional throughout my entire experience.
June 09, 2025

Nobody wants to go to a hospital. But if I have to go to one, I want to go see Chelsea. She's brilliant.
May 23, 2025
All the personal I interacted with were awesome. Thanks
May 23, 2025
Chelsea Brown was superlative!
May 22, 2025
Chelsea was very kind and caring and walked me through potential issues and I certainly appreciated her time.
May 22, 2025
The doctor, nurses and hospital staff were awesome. I do wish the triage (the 1st one) explained the waiting room expectations better. It took two hours to be seen .. but once inside everything moved quickly and the staff was excellent.
May 22, 2025
They were all great! I have never had a bad experience here!
May 10, 2025
Very nice and knowledgeable care team. And service was fast!
May 09, 2025

May 03, 2025
It's a great place with caring people!!??
April 25, 2025
Thank you.
April 17, 2025
The amount of time between my initial exam room nurse visit and the visit in the exam room by the urologist seemed to take longer than expected. I have since learned that afternoon appointment time management tends to run longer due to patient load. Thanks.
April 16, 2025
Dr was very nice and caring! Didn't waste any time getting me diagnosed and on my way!
April 16, 2025
Chelsea is bright and funny and put me right at ease . She's a pro and MeGen should feel lucky to have her as part of your staff.
April 12, 2025
The doctor was absolutely wonderful!
April 11, 2025
The PA was outstanding to explain what was knotting up and that she understood clearly what I was feeling. She explained what I should do, what meds to take, and what to do if there were side effects. I can't say enough good about how she's treated, related, and diagnosed me.
April 10, 2025
I give Chelsea high marks for being an excellent, caring physician. She took the time to contact a radiologist to share her concerns about my X-ray report. She exhibited a high engagement level and was easy to talk to. She was also concerned about how long I had to wait. Not a trait you often see! I would like to thank her for such excellent care!
April 10, 2025
I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Brown. I'm happy to go in with my problem and have it solved completely and successfully and a lot of good play with the staff.
April 10, 2025
Long wait. Great PA
April 10, 2025
Chelsea Brown was incredibly kind, positive, thorough and knowledgeable. Her positive attitude and nature was refreshing
April 03, 2025
I found it very helpful. She was easy to talk to and also explained my situation very clearly to me. She also explained the medication that she prescribed for my situation. She also was very attentive to my partner that was with me. I certainly would not hesitate to go again if I needed to be treated.
April 03, 2025
Our experience was great from the time we walked in the door to the time I got treated and we left. Everyone was absolutely awesome. A++
April 03, 2025
Surprisingly quick service. I expected to be waiting much longer than I did.
March 24, 2025
The waiting was not too long and the doctor that I saw was very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you.
March 24, 2025
Ms. Brown was upbeat and very clear, had listening skills, and made me feel very supported during my visit and also recommended some medications that weren't recommended previously that helped tremendously. I would highly recommend her.
March 21, 2025
I thought the nurse and the doctor or the PA was very good and thorough and explained everything. I also thought the intake was very good and explained everything to me as well.
March 21, 2025
The wait time to get into a room was very short, even tho the parking lot was full. All who helped me were caring and very nice.
March 21, 2025
PA and nurse Kerry were amazing!!
March 17, 2025
Cost of antibiotic was higher, perhaps a generic might have been cheaper.
March 14, 2025
I was an Urgent Care patient. I am blessed to have found a Medical Team that cares about EVERYONE they see.... My primary doctor is the BEST... Gardiner Family Medical's staff is absolutely committed to helping our community!!
