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!

My nurse was especially forthcoming and helpful.

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.

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.

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.

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.

July 16, 2025
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.
June 18, 2025
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.
June 15, 2025
Kara & the entire team was knowledgable & professional.
June 07, 2025
Everyone was kind & concerned about me! I was very well cared for!
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.
April 26, 2025
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
March 12, 2025
I thought she listened well. She provided good advice and good plans going forward. So I would recommend her and staff there highly. And thank you.
March 09, 2025
First time at an urgent care and they were amazing. So thankful to be in and out in 30 minutes and on my way to get antibiotics and back home to rest. Thank you thank you!!
February 15, 2025
I feel welcomed and listened to by the staff who are knowledgeable, competent professionals. I appreciate this souch.
February 02, 2025
The PA did a good job listening to what I felt and was kind. I would see her again for sure.

Everyone was great and the doctor was fantastic.

I was in dire straits, had been bit by a tick, and been bedridden for three solid days with severe pain. And they were very attentive to my needs and gave me the information I needed. And then they directed me to the emergency room as soon as possible, where I received the best of care. Thank you very much for all the help you've given me.
December 14, 2024
My care provider was an excellent listener and has really taken care of me to help me get threw this time of sickness. Following thru and making sure I am getting the care I need.
December 14, 2024
Great Team. I arrived later (very close to closing) than I probably should have and was still greeted with a smile and great service from all. Ty very much
December 08, 2024
Very convoluted process. Had to go to Augusta for X-ray then back to Gardiner for a splint. The splint didn't work I had to go back to Gardiner the following day. Now I have to go to orthopedic to get the real fix for my ankle. I wish I had gone to the emergency room in Augusta instead, they would have done it all in one stop. Very disappointed when you are in pain and get such a run around. Nothing negative about the staff, it is the process that doesn't work for the patient.

Yes, Express Care is something that I don't think the communities can do without anymore. I go there quite often and I do tell people about it and I think it's wonderful, a wonderful thing because you have things that come up and you can't get into the primary care for a while. So it's really a wonderful convenience. More than that, it's a lifesaver sometimes. Thank you so much. Bye, bye.
November 27, 2024
thank you so much!!
