November 03, 2025
I'm extremely happy with the care that I've had with Dr. Lopes and the office people, the staff. I would definitely recommend him to anybody else.
November 03, 2025
Would it be possible to have a different Urologist? I would be more comfortable with someone besides Doctor Lopes.
October 29, 2025
Super friendly staff from the moment, I walked through the front door until the time I left. Everyone was extremely helpful, kind, and courteous.
October 29, 2025
I never actually saw the doctor. I was left in the room for over 40 minutes. I had to leave for another appointment. This is the second time I was left in a room for way too long.

October 01, 2025

September 22, 2025
I greatly appreciate the care I receive at Maine General! THANK YOU.
September 22, 2025
Dr. Lopes is knowledgeable and I trust everything he says from his many years of experience.
September 19, 2025
I have always had good experience under the circumstances of having to go to hospital. Everyone that I have had contact with were excellent
September 18, 2025
I was referred to Dr. Lopes for some investigation of symptoms that I'm having, and he was able to give me very good information and help me rule out any other health concerns. So definitely appreciated being able to see him on this matter and his knowledgeable and professional demeanor. Thank you.
September 18, 2025
I just want to say that Dr. Lopes was exceptional. His attitude towards me was wonderful. And I can't think of any criticism that I would have. He is perfect doctor for me. Thank you.
September 17, 2025
He needs to come down to the patient's level.
September 15, 2025
Dr lopes was very good and I will be getting back to him when I have the work done on my heart first. He said that's a good idea before going ahead of doing anything for the work needed to be done with me having a good heart is a good idea before going through surgery.
August 27, 2025
Thank you all for being here for so many!
August 27, 2025
Everyone was very polite and helpful. Although this was my first appointment there, Dr. Lopes seemed to know what was happening, explained the ailment to me and after, offered 3 different options he wanted me to consider. I chose the middle one, a conservative one as I had just gone thru some Cancer treatment earlier this year and this had me worried. I'll have it rechecked in 3 months and go from there. He did put my mind at ease.
August 25, 2025
Relatively short wait time. Pleasant staff.
August 21, 2025
Dr. Lopes was so nice and made me feel like he really had my best interest in mind when making decisions about my care plan. He listened to my concerns and explained things to me in a way that made sense.
August 20, 2025
Between the Physician and the Office help they made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The Physician answered all of my questions. He even escorted me to the exit.
August 20, 2025
Very professional Doctor.
August 11, 2025
Dr Lopes is a great fit for me. The only issue I have is communication through the portal and when you have to make the occasional phone call it can be difficult to get someone on the phone or a response. I am notified by email and text but those notifications have conflicting information. The automated information is fantastic as long as it is maintained and updated.
August 04, 2025
Yes, I'd like to thank them. I can't hear that well. They went out of their way to help me. And they were really good, the nurse and the urologist and the people there. I really want to thank them. Thanks a lot. OK.
July 31, 2025
Everyone was really nice and informative. Was very happy with my experience
July 31, 2025
Excellent care..very nice people..I was so nervous going in and they all calmed me down in a warm manner and care. Very easy to talk to. Thank you staff for doing so well at making my visit so much easier...see you in a few weeks!!
July 30, 2025
Dr. Lopes is the best. His procedures have been flawless. He saved my life, and what can I say? Wonderful experience, minus the discomfort of the test itself. Otherwise, everything was absolutely wonderful, and the care is great, and appreciate it all. Thank you.
July 30, 2025
They all were very pleasant. Doctor Lopes was good at explaining what he was going to do and talked so I was able to understand him. I would recommend him to anyone.
July 28, 2025

July 21, 2025
Very impressed with Dr. Lopes and his explanation of my choices of treatment, and his confidence in his ability to handle my care.
July 16, 2025
Dr. Lopes and his team were very professional and knowledgeable
July 14, 2025
I have always from my first time meeting Dr. Lopes, felt I was with the right doctor. I am at ease in the room with him. Two surgeries later he monitors my blood work and meets with me regularly. That alone is comforting to know someone actually cares about their patient. The people who assist are awesome even though they rotate they remain consistent in nature.
July 14, 2025
Address for appointment was emergency room instead of main entrance. No instructions to go to 2nd floor. Required personnel to show me how to get to uerology and back to exit. Hospital could reduce staff simply by giving better instructions
July 10, 2025
It was the best experience I ever had at a hospital in my life
July 09, 2025
It went good. I am satisfied with the visit. I didn't wait that long to be seen by the doctor and he did what I asked him to do and answered all questions. I left feeling good about the visit.

I was very happy with Dr. Joseph Lopes. He was straightforward, knowledgeable, personable. I give him a 10. I recommend him highly.
June 16, 2025
Joseph Lopes exhibited the worst bedside manner I have ever encountered. He dismissed all my concerns the moment he entered the room. My recent experiences with care have been disappointing and disheartening.
June 09, 2025
You have made a beautiful place very uncomfortable to say the least you should be ashamed of the way this facility has been torn apart and put together again! By the way this isn't any physicians fault so it must be management's fault! Thank you for asking.
June 04, 2025

Dr. Lopes and his team are very nice.
January 29, 2025
Yes, Dr. Lopes is the best. He saved my life. I really like to practice, but my last visit here was at the new facility. Instead of warm water for my procedure, it was ice cold water and there was no privacy curtain up. And so it seemed like they were ready and the doctor was ready and he always does a good job. The facility, the new facility for them was not ready. So that's about it. But like I said, Dr. Lopes is the best. His staff has always been really good. It was, I guess, a new facility for them from Oakland into the Thayer Unit there at Maine General. And so anyway, I was a little disappointed. And the ice cold water

Excellent staff and the my procedure with Dr. Lopes went well, better then expected. My only complaint would be, no follow up phone call. Any time I have had a medical procedure, in the past, I have always received a follow up phone call, wondering why not this time.
