Good information and feedback.
February 12, 2026
I had to stop the doctor and ask why medication was being prescribed. I asked what made them question my previous diagnosis. The explanation was not offered. Had I been someone who does not question, I would never had known the thought behind the action.
February 11, 2026
Our time spent with Cheryl was a wonderful surprise. She explained everything about my condition clearly. In addition to this removed confusion and fear from my previous urologists. Excellent active listening skills. Would recommend this office to anyone.
February 05, 2026
The examination was very superficial for the symptoms that were described, including the patient's age and occupational history.

Cheryl was amazing! I really enjoyed my time with her and the time she took with me. I felt heard and there was immediate trust established.
January 23, 2026
Yes, I saw Cheryl Smith who was very nice and professional. I was there because I had blood in the urine and she said she was going to schedule an invasive test. I think it's called a cystoscopy to check for bladder cancer. But I didn't know until I spoke to a different professional today that unlike if you have an endoscopy and they see something suspicious, they can snip it off. I didn't know that if she suspected cancer, that I would have to go to a totally different specialist who did the, you know, took the biopsy, which I wish I had known when I was in the appointment with her. Okay, thank you.
January 19, 2026
The entire staff I came in contact with has a great sense of humor which I appreciate because it makes for a much calmer atmosphere in the office. I'm very comfortable putting my health issues into there hands and looking forward to complete recovery. Thank you to everyone.
January 14, 2026
Overall very good experience with a reasonable wait time.
January 05, 2026

January 02, 2026

I really appreciate the fact that this was sort of, it's a reoccurring problem of mine and it came up quickly and you cannot waste time with it and they got me in. I mean, that was incredible. It was just like 24 hours and I was seen by somebody. So I really and truly appreciate that. You all have a good holiday. Bye-bye.
December 11, 2025
I was told to go pick up some medicines that I needed and my insurance doesn't cover it.
December 11, 2025

The only bad part of the visit was that there were not enough wipes in the bathroom for a proper urine sample deposit. There was only one antiseptic wipe when three were called for in the process.

Twice I was sent to radiology for ct scan. And twice I was turned away.
October 16, 2025
I struggle with trusting my care to medical professionals after challenging historical experiences but, if there were more providers and medical staff like Cheryl, I would feel more at ease with seeking treatment in a preventive approach opposed to reactive. She really is amazing

October 03, 2025
Please clean your bathroom throughout the day. I was there for a 1:45 appointment and the bathroom was gross. The floor and toilet were worse than some gas stations. I understand what people go in there to do but, yikes. I'd rather bring in my own pre-filled cup so I wouldn't have to use that bathroom.
October 02, 2025
Pleasant and good nature decisions where on point. Time was well balanced .
October 02, 2025
My NP Cheryl Smith was absolutely wonderful. And the staff was great.
September 25, 2025
The Doctor was very helpful, she explained things to me in a way that helped me understand , what was going on, and what she was going to do to help me with my situation. She was very patient, took her time with me. Which some Doctors don't do. They seem to be in such a hurry. I had a great visit, and I appreciate her, she has a kind soul, thank you
September 17, 2025
Cheryl Smith is very thorough in her prep. Prior to entering the examination room, Cheryl appears to have reviewed the results of my blood work, prior testing and records. She also has gathered an opinion on how best to proceed with the data she has reviewed. Rather than rushing into further procedures, she is conservative with her approach ( a view that complements my own. Thank you Cheryl for the care I receive.
September 12, 2025
So Smith was very professional and prompt.
September 08, 2025
Great experience in health care. All members here are very professional, pleasant, and personal.
September 03, 2025
Considering the nature of the size of the stone and the pain that I'm in, that it's going to have to wait three weeks to have that rectified while I'm floundering around like a fish out of water, taking more medicines than I want to take. I'm really not pleased. I thought that they should have found some other facility someplace that could get me right in. to the hospital in order to use their urologist, it's up to you to call them and tell them that I need that one. I just can't go out and ask for it because I'm not a doctor. That's the nature of my problem with all this. Thank you. Bye.
August 28, 2025
All the staff was very friendly and pleasant
August 25, 2025
My appointment went along flawlessly, at all levels...!! My experience was, as I say. Was pleasurably and uniquely pleasant. Not too mention mizzz Smith held my attention with her medical information AND exceptional attractiveness ?..!! That's way my appointment was notable...?
August 22, 2025
all good!
August 06, 2025
I'm very comfortable going there. Everyone seems knowledgeable. If I ask a question, they always have an answer. They're very good with patients. And I am very happy to be going there and receiving treatment with all of the people there, including Cheryl. I'm very happy with their service. Thanks.
August 04, 2025
Waited almost 20 minutes past appointment time
July 25, 2025
Loved her excellent visit.
July 23, 2025
I love this staff. I love everything about it. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with so much respect. And then also I love the fact that they had my history there and they had made themselves familiar with it before they even came to me. That was very important. So thank you very much.
July 21, 2025
I am overjoyed with the providers that I have at MaineGeneral NOW. All of my providers and I come up with a plan of care that I am able to adhere to.

Most efficient doctor's appointment I've ever had. No waiting at any point. Never even had time to open my magazine. Like, wow.
July 07, 2025
Dr Smith is the best Dr. Love her. She's up front, honest and all the while being gentle and real. There's no embarrassment in telling her what's up and all that goes with it. She's the Dr you could invite over for supper and not have to take out the best china. For her I would though. You/we/me are very fortunate to have her in our medical lives.

Cheryl Smith was outstanding. She took the time to listen , took a very thorough history, provided clear explanations, answered all questions. Provided a dx and treatment plan! Just what was needed, and we have a follow up appointment to evaluate progress and response to new med she prescribed. I couldn't have had better care. My wife ( who is a nurse) and I appreciate her very much. Many thanks to her and your entire team.

I had a wonderful visit with Cheryl. She's A1, top shelf. She explained everything to me. She showed me. She talked to me so that I understood every single thing that she was trying to tell me. And she got me all the help that I need. And she got it quickly for me. And it was scheduled before I left the office. I would recommend that anybody comes and sees her. She is wonderful. Have a good day.
May 22, 2025
Cheryl is very caring ,knowledgeable and thorough and an asset to the hospital.
May 21, 2025
I am a new patient at this practice, still working on transferring records. I was very pleased with this encounter and feel that it bodes well for my treatment.
May 21, 2025
I was very satisfied. This is the second time that I had been to this urology and I was satisfied if not more than I was the first time. Very comfortable in the setting and the person knew my background and everything so it was a very good moment. Thank you.
May 21, 2025
I was seen by Cheryl , the nurse practitioner. I felt absolutely comfortable and in good hands. Her knowledge and understanding of my issue was spot on. Very happy to have her in my corner dealing with my health issues.
May 16, 2025
Completely professional.
May 14, 2025
I had to change my appointment at the last moment due to a work "crisis". The office managed to get me a new appointment in less than a day. From check in to check out it was a great experience.
May 14, 2025
The care team made me feel very comfortable and were very informative. Especially on the options available for my case. Thank you to them all.
May 09, 2025

May 07, 2025
It was the most comfortable visit I've had in that type of an office in my life. I've had some poor experiences and that was a great one. Thank you very much.
May 07, 2025
Knowledgeable, professional, compassionate staff!
May 01, 2025
Practitioner understood the health issue very well and is part of our care team
April 30, 2025
All the practitioners we've seen in this practice are certainly qualified, compassionate and careful. This includes, most recently, Cheryl Smith.
April 30, 2025
Very professional and down to earth
April 24, 2025
Cheryl Smith was outstanding.
April 21, 2025
Excellent service!
April 21, 2025
Cheryl was amazing. I had a not so great experience with another provider at MaineGen urology and it was suggested by a coworker to try to transfer to her and I'm so glad I did. I felt heard, seen and validated. Five out of five stars
April 18, 2025
Ms. Smith was very pleasant to speak with and she answered all of my questions.
April 18, 2025
Everyone at the office was friendly and helpful. Cheryl Smith was awesome! She asked questions, made recommendations, answered my questions, and made me totally comfortable. I felt that I had come to the right place.
April 17, 2025
Dr. Smith was phenomenal. I've been suffering for 25 years and she gave me answers that nobody else has been able to give and she's a wonderful young woman. I hope I can continue to work with her. Like I said, I've been suffering with my condition for over 25 years and she gave me some answers and some help. That is, it's phenomenal. It's too bad it's taken this long, but thank you very much, Dr. Smith. You're a sweetheart. Thank you.
April 16, 2025
It was a great experience
April 10, 2025
always a great experience. I am very happy with my care
April 09, 2025
The amount of my wait time between when I was initially ushered into the examination room and Dr. Smith was able to see me was about an hour, which seemed lengthy? I am reminded to schedule my next appointment for the AM, since I am aware that scheduled PM appointments run longer!
March 26, 2025
I was very pleased with the entire visit.
March 24, 2025
My only concern was I waited, I think, almost a year or over a year to see a woman in the urology department. I was met by a man to do the intake. I was sorry about that, but he was very nice. That's the only, it's not really a complaint, but it's telling you how I felt. So thank you very much. You were all wonderful. I can't believe the snow that we got while I was in there. But other than that, it was just the fact that I wanted to see only women and I got a man intake person. I think that's what they call it, but whatever. So thank you,
March 24, 2025
I travel to Augusta from Bangor to this office. I do so because this office is so kind and caring. I've never had such a cohesive team of people in a doctor's office. From receptionist when I arrive to seeing my doctor, to my check out. Everyone listens and doesn't hurry me when I have questions. I feel like any medical concern that I have is taken very seriously and I'm given the correct support for the situation. Just thank you!
March 19, 2025
I thought she was a very good listener and gave me a lot of her time and I appreciated that very much because I had a lot of questions. So I thought she was great.
March 17, 2025
Yes, hi. I thought that the staff and everybody there was very professional, very knowledgeable, very helpful. And I met with Cheryl, which is what I usually do, and she is, as always, just great. I feel very comfortable with her and just feel as though I could ask or say anything about my treatment. So I'm all set. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
