Dr Tooth is great
June 12, 2026
Excellent from start to finish.
June 10, 2026
Dr. kept me waiting for a half an hour in the exam room and never acknowledged him being late. If it's busy or something is happening I don't mind the wait. But at least acknowledge it! Glad to see new parking spaces
June 03, 2026

Dr tooth and staff keep me healthy
May 07, 2026
I've had a long standing relationship with DR Tooth now and he has helped me through several kidney stone situations. Very professional and pleasant to deal with! Thank you.
May 07, 2026
Seems like they were trying to push people through. Meaning they did not go over my meds or take down my weight or check my blood pressure. No body asked me how I was feeling or if I was having any problems. They did what I came to have done and I guess that is all that really was needed. I understand that Maine General probably has set some new guidelines . Dr. Tooth is 100 % he is very professional and will take a minute to answer all my concerns about my health issues.
May 04, 2026
I've had a few appointments with Dr. Tooth and this time I asked him quite a few questions and he was ready with the answers that answered my questions and I appreciated that. He went a little bit above board. He didn't need to. He's always been a good guy. Yeah, I'd recommend him. He's a good guy. Thank you.

March 05, 2026
There seemed to be some computer issue during registration. I ended up receiving someone else's receipt.
March 05, 2026
They explained specific procedures I needed to follow very well
March 05, 2026
It's very hard to get a return phone call from them which means you could end up playing phone tag. Not the way an office should be run.
March 04, 2026
Dr. Tooth was so caring, gentle and wonderful.

February 23, 2026
Yes, I'd just like to say that Dr. Tooth has been an excellent doctor and helped me an awful lot over the past few years. Thank you.
February 23, 2026
Caring ,kind and great physician !
February 23, 2026
Some of my less than yes definitely responses were based on the fact this is the first time I have ever seen Dr. Tooth, so we were still getting to know one another. I trust the practice in general, but often find it very difficult to get a prompt appointment when I need one. Thank you.
February 12, 2026
Wish all specialists were as competent AND as compassionate as Derrick Tooth.

Short and productive visit with Dr. Tooth. Only had trouble with calls about changes in time that were inaccurate. All okay in the end.
January 29, 2026
Also made to feel very comfortable during my visit
January 28, 2026
The scheduling was outstanding. I had a three o'clock appointment and I was brought into the room at 3:05 and the doctor came in the room within two or three minutes. We get done with business and I was back out the door in less than a half hour. Outstanding service.
January 28, 2026

Dr. Tooth and his team was awesome! Dr. Tooth has a great bedside manner. He did a great job explaining everything to me. Maine General Health is lucky to have him!!
January 23, 2026
After a previous horrific conversation with one on medical care professionals this appointment worked out well. First was what was your expectations with a cancer diagnosis and then a decisive decision on this is what we are going to do. Dr tooth made good decisions and plans on procedure not immediately but waiting results from cancer treatment.
January 23, 2026
Dr Tooth had great bedside manners and made me feel comfortable
January 21, 2026
I have been completely happy with my care from Dr. Tooth and the associates in his office.
January 14, 2026
I really like Dr. Tooth. He's a good doctor and no problems with him. He's a really good doctor. We really like him. Thank you.
January 12, 2026
I do like and respect Dr. Tooth quite a bit. He's certainly knowledgeable and includes me in his exams and discussions. Everyone there is a pleasure (?) to work with, if anything urology can be considered a pleasure. I left with a good plan feeling supportive and positive.
January 09, 2026
Thanks Dr. Tooth and Co - I really wasn't looking forward to this appointment, but it went very smoothly and I felt comfortable. Keep up the good work!

Dr Tooth is great
December 10, 2025
there seems to be a change in reception staff, they seem to be more efficient, but they need help answering phones or at least have an empty mail box to receive messages
November 13, 2025
Perfect experinece! Thank you.
November 06, 2025
THis practice space needs more room. Its always busy, crowded and a bit late getting into the appointment. And again as I've mentioned before NO PARKING. Time to consider a bigger location

Excellent care
November 05, 2025
It's a complete health experience for me for my life.
October 31, 2025
We were told that appointments would be made and we would get a phone call. It's now two business days after our appointment and we haven't received anything even though we called today and we were told that the scheduler told us that they're short-staffed and when I told her we were very scared because my husband has been diagnosed with cancer, we were told so is in every other person that's been diagnosed with cancer. Very disheartening. The doctor was wonderful. The scheduler, not so much.
October 31, 2025
Dr or NP was very thorough and informative and took the time to make diagnosis

Dr Tooth as always has full up to date knowledge of my medical history with all of my other providers and how it relates to my bladder treatment. He gives me straightforward information and always gives me options for treatment going forward.

There staff was very knowledgeable
September 11, 2025
Great experience !
September 03, 2025
Dr. Tooth's office was very good. Needed lab a few days before visit. Terrible experience as it always is. You need to review facility use and procedure. The people were very nice, lab tech very professional. 50 minute wait just to register! And several people before me gave up and left. Have to travel to Augusta, then wait to register. Actual blood draw took about 2 minutes. Closing Winthrop lab big disappointment. If I can help with a solution please contact. Thank you
August 13, 2025
Great experience
August 08, 2025
I am so fortunate to have Dr Tooth's oustanding care
August 08, 2025
Dr. Tooth sat across the room from me and never examined me in anyway. He never requested I disrobe for a hands on exam. I was only asked about my current pain level. I was sent home with no treatment what so ever, being told I needed to go to Portland, because Dr. Tooth couldn't be bothered to at least check my prostate to see what was going on. I was left feeling like an unwelcome second class citizen. I honestly feel Dr. Tooth should have at least done either an ultrasound, CT scan or something to check what was going on.
August 07, 2025
I like DR, Tooth very good at his profession,.
August 07, 2025
Dr. Tooth is the best and his staff is wonderful.

July 31, 2025
Always a good experience and the quality of care is excellent. Dr. Tooth is great!!
July 31, 2025
I was very pleased with everyone in the urology department, it was nice to see an actual doctor who was willing to talk to me and answer my questions. He truly made me feel that I was getting the best care he could offer. And I feel confident he will give me the best care.
July 28, 2025
Dr. Tooth has given me good care, elevating it when necessary. He explains the results of tests. The staff is helpful, polite and thorough but there must be much turnover because faces seem to constantly change. Finally, the texts, recorded and live phone messages, are over the top and become annoying. One of each would be sufficient.
July 24, 2025
Always a friendly and caring experience.
July 24, 2025
Perfect
July 23, 2025
This is an excellent group of practitioners. The care and commitment to patients is exemplary
July 16, 2025
Dr. Tooth is the absolute best! He's been my doctor since I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer and supervised my radiation treatment.
