Just a friendly staff and wonderful doctor. Sense of humor= Dr. Wexler. Thanks
December 30, 2025
Yes, I just wanted to let you know that I find Dr. Wexler very professional, very succinct, a good sense of humor, and he seemed to like to know what he was talking about. And that's it.
December 30, 2025
Dr. Wexler was attentive and discussed my health issues with me. A plan for my surgery was discussed and future informational sessions were booked. The assistant was friendly and efficient.

DR. WEXLER IS A GEM.
December 16, 2025
Nice facility, very friendly staff, efficient and engaging.
December 09, 2025
I did not receive the invite to attend "hip class" which Doctor W thought was odd. Neither did I get a home health visit for PT or a mention that it was available.
December 09, 2025
Always grest care at Maine General

From the registration team, Dr. Wexler and his nurse, to scheduling for PT afterwards, all was well done, proficiently and professionally. With a smile on their face - I really enjoyed him and his staff. Thank you!!
December 04, 2025
Dr. Wexler gave me some additional perspective about my surgery and he was helpful in getting me some additional PT and an injection. I learned the anesthesiologist I spoke to prior to surgery was not the same as the doctor who was in the OR. Something I plan to discuss with anesthesiology.

Dr. Wexler is amazing
October 16, 2025
Dr Wexler and his tech are awesome! Dr Wexler always provides great care!
October 16, 2025
I feel like I'm in good hands-literally.
October 14, 2025
Yeah, I guess the only thing I would have to mention is that, um, we waited about an hour and 15 minutes and we, uh, I finally had to go out to the reception and say, Hey, is it normal for someone to wait an hour? And they said, you know, sometimes, and then when the doctor finally came in about an hour and 20 minutes, uh, he said that they had lost us for some reason. and we get lost in the mix. But the service was unbelievable. They treated us so wonderful. We just got a little lost there. We had to wait a while. But that's it. And thank you very much. Signing off.
October 14, 2025
Dr W is just so competent...
October 09, 2025
I was very pleased with my care. Dr. Wexler is a wonderful surgeon.
October 07, 2025
My experience with care was super
October 02, 2025
I had to wait quite awhile after the nurse interviewed me for Dr Wexler but he is certainly worth the wait!!! I also had to wait along time in waiting room before they called me inbut that is okay , Dr Wexler is certainly worth waiting for , he is so thorough and has such great people skills
September 25, 2025
I had a slight delay in seeing my provider as a result of the VA referral process, through no fault of MGMC employees. Dr Wexler is awesome and I always appreciate his humor and bedside manner.
September 25, 2025
The receptionist that I interactive with had a very lack luster personality and was very rude. She seemed put off with having to check me in almost like she hates her job. This type of behavior should be unacceptable and very unethical. Had I been able to go to Orthopedic Associates of Maine in Portland I would have. The reviews on Google are not very good when it comes to patient experiences with your receptionists. This is something that you need to address, because it is a not very favorable for your business.
September 09, 2025
They helped me make a critical decision about a surgery.
September 02, 2025
Neither satisfied or dissatisfied had been referred without discussing this tormented and quality of life .Same all over .Generally Disgusted with Medical Community. THEY GASLIGHT YOU WITH REFERRALS .,and use your Health coverage if you have it,and just like ATM They utilize them like they're Swipe Cards.We should use our voices and Refuse their shoddy health care .Advocate for yourself
September 02, 2025
Dr. Wexler and team were very knowledgeable, patient oriented, and friendly. Doc Wexler, and team provided me very detailed information in the procedure for total hip replacement. They insured all of my questions were answered, which left me with a level of extreme confidence in their abilities.
August 28, 2025
Had to wait three months for appointment. Then told I was seeing the wrong person. Now waiting referral to another provider.
August 28, 2025
Dr. Wexler made me feel rushed and unimportant the entire visit. He could not have been more apathetic towards me and it was our first meeting. He made it clear he was not interested in learning anymore than yes or no answers, he never discussed my images that were sent to him, and he acted as if every question or comment I had was ridiculous. Even when he gave me cortisone shots in my knees, he didn't bother explain anything about it. The entire experience was disappointing and confusing.
August 28, 2025
It was very nice. Dr. Wexler was nice. The staff was nice. I was very happy with Maine General. I would recommend that place to everybody. Thank you so very much for your help, and I appreciate it. Thank you. Bye-bye.
August 19, 2025
I went feeling that I probably wouldn't get my surgery for 3 months, when Dr. W looked at my xrays and said he had an opening next week. I could've cried. I was so happy to think I wouldn't have to bear this pain much longer. This office went above and beyond in my book. Thank you so much!.
August 14, 2025
Dr. Wexler was a terrific doctor. He fixed my knee and I can't believe how fast I've been moving around and PT is really, really good. Cannot do it without them.
August 12, 2025
Extremely thorough evaluation of my condition and picking the best treatment at this time
August 12, 2025

July 31, 2025
Good visit the staff and Dr Wexler go out of their way to help me
July 24, 2025
I felt comfortable talking with all members of the team. That is not always the case for me. Everyone involved were very nice.
July 22, 2025
Short wait in the waiting room, even shorter wait to have xrays done & for Dr Wexler to see me. He took an interest in what I had to say. After telling him of my concerns regarding my pending back surgery at EMMC, he said he could request my records be provided to the MMMC team for review since I have waited months & have not heard back from them despite my several calls & even spoken to 2 schedulers who never got back to me. Dr. Wexler is a patient's advocate to be recognized!
July 17, 2025
There is a lot of apprehension around a potential surgery. Dr. Wexler set me at ease right away. He asked appropriate questions, listened to my concerns and took the time to answer mine. By the end of the interview, I felt confident that I would be in good hands and well taken care of.
July 15, 2025
Satisfied so far
July 15, 2025

Dr. Wexler, his assistant, and all the staff that I've dealt with have been fantastic. My surgery went better than I expected. My recovery went better than I expected. I couldn't ask for anything more.

March 04, 2025
I liked Dr. Wexler very much. I have a lot of respect for him. He's very knowledgeable, very kind man. The only bit of negative that I have to say is that it was well over an hour before I was able to be seen. Well done. Thanks.
February 27, 2025
Yes, Dr. Wexler was so good. He would listen and he would hear me and he would make a recommendation, but yet he would listen to if I had a concern and make an appropriate suggestion. So I was so pleased with Dr. Wexler. I would recommend him to anyone.
February 27, 2025
Dr. Wexler and his support staff have always been the best. Caring, kind people.
February 25, 2025
Well, I found out that I'm going to have to have a repair on the surgery I just had on my hip, the muscle that pulled away from it. So that was quite disappointing to me to have to go in and have something like that done again. But that's the only thing that was upsetting. But you know, I trust Dr. Wexler. I know he'll do a wonderful job, but it's just a weird thing that it happened, I guess. So anyway, but other than that, I'm looking forward to having a successful surgery and being able to put it behind me. So that's it. Thank you.

Hi, David Wexler did my knee replacement in 2018 and I was very, very happy with his care. I found him to be patient, to be a listener, to answer questions fully, to be informative in any way I needed about the surgery. So when I felt like I needed a hip replacement, which I do, I decided to definitely go back to him and here it is like seven years later and I find him just as listening and attentive and informative as I did before. He's really such a wonderful doctor. I feel very safe and happy with him. I just and I have recommended him and I certainly would again. So and my knee replacement was a big success. Okay, thank you so much. Bye-bye.

Nothing to add except I am very happy and satisfied with all the care team members.
January 30, 2025
A woman in the waiting room was doing a video call on speakerphone. She was loud and her friend on the other end of the call was using the F word regularly. You should police this type of rude behavior please.
January 28, 2025
It was good besides the waiting.
January 21, 2025
