I just wanted to take a moment to thank the entire staff for the care and professionalism you showed me during my recent visit. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely concerned about helping me find answers. I especially appreciate how quickly you recognized that further testing might be needed and helped get my MRI scheduled promptly. After dealing with so much pain and uncertainty, it was reassuring to feel heard and supported. Thank you for your compassion, efficiency, and dedication to your patients. It truly made a difference.

I love Dr. Rothe and I am so happy I found her for my care for the last few years. I have recommended her to others though I can't help worrying she may get too busy to be as attentive and caring as she is. I see only her in the department because I trust her.

Dr. Rothe and her accompanying staff (another Dr. and med student) were exceptional. For this visit, I cannot say enough good things about the team from the Dr's, nurse and med student they listened, evaluated and treated me immediately. I thank them with all my heart and when my conditions flare up again, I hope they are at my side.

I have been to see Dr. Rothe 2 times before. She has always listened thoroughly with what I told her. She has helped me immensely in the past and I trust her for caring. She has addressed my pain situation and gave me prompt attention each time.

Elizabeth Rothe and her MA (I can't remember her name) were absolutely phenomenal and the care I got from the two of them exceeded my expectations. I've never been in a cast before and all of my questions were answered and I was encouraged to call with any questions or if I felt like something was wrong with the cast. I also had very prompt messages through the patient portal with updates to my care plan. Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work!

I am not a regular Maine General patient so I would not have expected the urgicare or orthopedic staff to be aware of my medical history but they knew enough to provide quality care and support
August 05, 2025
I never give a 10 because I believe that there is always room for improvement. I was very happy with the amount of communication in there involving me with the examination.
August 05, 2025

Dr Rothe was awesome
July 29, 2025
I would like to just let you know that I had two doctors that did the injections and they were extremely, extremely helpful. They were making me feel very comfortable and they were very professional in what they did and I would highly recommend anyone that's going to have this procedure done to have them and your people up there do it. It's a blessing that we have these people in this area. We're very fortunate for people to have them.
