I am comforted by being cared for by Dr. Tooth. The office staff got me scheduled for surgery in less than a week when a cancellation occurred. Great office! Sweetheart Doc!

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

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

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

November 06, 2025

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

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

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

Dr. Tooth is the absolute best! He's been my doctor since I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer and supervised my radiation treatment.
July 14, 2025
We were not given clear instructions and information about the procedure, complications and after care by the doctor. The nurses were very kind and supportive though.

Dr. Tooth took time to answer my questions and to inform me of procedures that may be necessary to treat my medical condition. Very professional staff, friendly and welcoming. I felt quite anxious at my arrival and anxiety greatly reduced before I left.
April 04, 2025
Hello, the receptionist was very fuzzy about my insurance and was kind of confused and wasn't complying with what I told her. She had a primary that wasn't proper in there and she was very reluctant to help me out in that based on the fact that she was more interested in not being, solving an issue with the office than solving an issue with me. Kind of frustrating dealing with her.
March 26, 2025
My appointment was for 3:15 pm and I was called into the room at exactly 3:15pm. That's unheard of these days.
March 24, 2025
Dr. Tooth is an exceptional Dr. Very Thorough an knowledgeable!
March 24, 2025
While the scheduled procedure could not be completed that day because of complications, Dr. Tooth explained the options available to me and we will proceed in a different manner in a couple of weeks. No issues whatsoever with Dr. Tooth or any of his staff.
