Dr. Rothe also discussed future decisions to consider. I appreciated this. It was also good to have the aftercare handout. Verbal information during Appointments can be overwhelming and hard to recall.

Dr. Rothe is brilliant and kind. She had a wonderful bedside manner, is very thorough in her exam, and I felt really informed about what was going on and what the next steps were. She goes above and beyond and our community is lucky to have her! Her fellow was great, too, and it's clear Dr. Rothe is also an excellent teacher!

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

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.

The doctor that I saw was extremely thorough, patient, and explained things, period. Sorry, no period. When I had questions, she answered them very clearly. She was compassionate. She understood my situation. She asked clarifying questions. She looked at my complaints and did I feel like a very thorough check of my ailments and came up with a plan that she asked me if I was okay with. She was very kind and patient and thorough. I guess those are the words I'm looking for. Thank you.

Dr. Rothe is a wonderful Dr. She is kind and caring. She has helped me with my knee and shoulder. She is a life saver to me. I feel like I finally have someone that cares. I highly recommend her practice. If I could rate her a 20 I would. Dr. Rothe takes the time to explain everything in terms I can understand.

These past several weeks have been some of the most painful weeks in the past 10 years for me and I wasn't given no consideration on how to lessen that pain and I wasn't happy with that. I'm not satisfied with the knowledge and skill of the physician.
January 24, 2025
Elizabeth was absolutely amazing in every single way. Great communication the whole time, friendly, joking, and she listened to everything that I had to say about what was going on. I couldn't have been more pleased, even though the procedure was a little painful. It was almost fun. Thank you.

January 21, 2025
I was a bit anxious and they helped out the entire visit making sure I was fine with what they were doing each time and added the spray numbing this time to help when needle goes into the skin. Dr. Rothe even told me to breathe when I was initially in pain.
January 20, 2025
I think this is probably one of the best visits I've had to your facility. I came out being able to walk without pain in that leg, and I would definitely make sure to tell all my friends about it, and I can't wait to get my other leg done. Thank you.
