So the staff was very professional and helpful and it was much, much quicker than even the urgent care I normally go to. So yeah, whatever you guys are doing, just keep doing. I know you guys actually have to listen to these reviews, so you guys are doing a good job. Thank you.

I thought my visit went very well. I thought that the lady at the front desk was very kind, especially when people were coming up and asking about wait times. I thought that the provider was very helpful, and I thought overall it was a very, very good experience. However, it was a very long wait. It was a busy day, so I think I have to wait a couple of hours. But overall, You can't help when people are sick, but I thought people were patient and moving patients along as quickly as they could. So I thought that was well done. Thank you.

The wait time and the small waiting area with so many sick people all over not in designated areas for sick had a lot of worried. When not here for sickness. Mainly a place for the louder people to go and not be so triggered by mental heath issues. Child was there and screamed the whole 2. 1/2 hours I was there parents tried but need a place for them to go as to not disturb everyone else.

I had excellent, excellent care. I really don't know how they could improve. The care team took really, really good care of me. I don't know, they're great.
December 20, 2025
Always good to when I go there. Very professional, very nice people. They helped me out what I want. I'm glad they're there. And Merry Christmas and check it for calling and checking up on me.

I never had a team that would come close to the Nurses that cared for me. Your highest rating on the survey doesn't come close to the job my nurses did.
December 03, 2025
Experience was excellent all around. No waiting, pleasant staff, and Kara Clukey was knowledgeable and caring.
November 19, 2025
Staff were wonderful and it was delightful to observe them working so well with each other always in the interest of the patient and family. Many thanks to all!
November 15, 2025
Yeah, I was so happy that somebody called me back and told me about my test results and gave me some advice. I really appreciate everything they said on the phone. Just want to let you know that. And it's a great, great thing to have Express Care on your team. Okay, bye.

They were so nice in there and any questions I asked they answered. Everything they did made everything better. I highly recommend all of them in there.
October 26, 2025
everyone was top notch that day.
October 26, 2025
I was amazed at how kind and pleasant everyone was that I came into contact with, I'm not one to go to Dr appts because they always make me uneasy, but everything was great from time I walked in until I left.
October 11, 2025
I always appreciate how quickly i get seen there!

What I appreciate MOST about this survey is the opportunity to express myself without canned choices only! The Gardiner Express care was a very good experience!
September 07, 2025
My nurse was especially forthcoming and helpful.
August 31, 2025
like to adopt that doctor I had. She was wonderful. And I think I love her face. So just ask her when she's up for adoption to give me a call. Bye bye.
August 30, 2025
I thought she did a pretty good job. She told me what I should do, and I told her what I've been doing. She said, that's good. And I thought it was in there quick and out. That's what I like. She didn't see the doctor and get out. I thought that was pretty quick. OK, thanks, everybody.
August 27, 2025
First question, I hit no by accident, but it was supposed to be a four. That's all I asked for. Everything was satisfactory, and I'm just fine.
August 27, 2025
I was so impressed with Kara the P A . She was through and explained my situation in so professionally. I felt so much better just a day after seeing her. The mediation was right on!! I will not hesitate to recommend Express care to anyone. Great positive experience.

I can say every single PA that I have had has been excellent.

Registration staff got paper towels to catch bleeding and called for a nurse to come get me quickly. Nurse and physician took great care of my wound and we found things to laugh about to relieve my stress.

I am grateful for the care I received at Express Care. Very little wait time, and very courteous and professional care. I recommend Express Care to family and friends. 100% better than the nearby Emergency Room.

Yes, she was very attentive and made sure that I went to the emergency room, and she called me a couple days later for follow-up, and I really appreciated that, so thank you.

Kara was awesome! Corrected some misconceptions i had with grace, understanding and lacking in judgement. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone.
June 18, 2025
The physician assistant, Kara, was excellent. I really got a lot of information and I felt like she did a thorough workup on my case. She did feedback to me with phone calls. I appreciate all her professionalism and wisdom. Thank you.

May 21, 2025
Yes, they were very helpful, told me that I had to have a CAT scan. I went to the hospital. I had gone to the hospital the night before and sat there for six hours with no care at all. And with her sending a message over to the doctor, sending a message over to the hospital, it really helped me out tremendously and they took really good care of me. So I really would come to the Express Care again. Thank you.

It was easy talking with the provider and the medication she prescribed for my swollen finger has helped 100% It is totally gone now even though I still have 2 dosed to take. The swelling was from a cat bite. (not intentional - just an excitable older kitten.

The staff here have medical knowledge so overwhelming they are most likely to cure cancer.

Was in and out in less than 20 minutes!
April 23, 2025
Our wait time was minimal, maybe 15 minutes, which was quite remarkable. I felt really listened to. Every part of the experience, not wanting to be there, did come out well. I felt, you know, listened to. I felt taken care of. It was the second or third time in several years that I've used the service, and each time it's been very superior and highly recommended. I wish I didn't have to use it, but I'm glad it's there for when it's necessary.
April 19, 2025
My service was fast. It was friendly. It was efficient. They were very, very nice to me and they were very thorough.
April 12, 2025
I was impressed with Kara, how quickly she assessed what was going on and how clearly she articulated what it was that my needs were and what I had, what I was dealing with. So I appreciated that. And it was well written out clearly when I got the paperwork back from the office. Thank you.
April 12, 2025
Was a great experience, explained things to me. Thank you great team
March 29, 2025
Always a great experience at Gardiner Express Care
March 23, 2025
It was terrible, my primary care provider told me to go to the emergency room to check myself in and get an MRI, and then Maine general medical center denied me an MRI. I even offered to pay for it. Now I go back on a waiting list and who knows how long it will take.
March 22, 2025
Very prompt
