right on time for the associate and because Dr. B was delayed she let me know when she was coming so I could prepare-very thoughtful on a chilly day.

Dr.Bossie is the best doctor who always goes above and beyond for her patients. She takes the time to listen and explain everything to you first. I have such faith in her because she is who she is with knowledge , caring and compassion. I would rate her a 11 if I could but she definitely is an asset to MGMC. As one of her patients I feel very lucky and grateful.

If I'm having a miscarriage at least I want to know why and for them not to have that answer is crazy
September 22, 2025
I was a patient of Dr. Bossie's. She is a fabulous physician and surgeon, and I would trust her and recommend her to anyone. She has a lot of knowledge, especially when it comes to the areas of menopause, which many providers today don't seem to have as much, period. So I really appreciated that. Thank you.
September 22, 2025
Dr Bossie is fabulous!
September 16, 2025
This is regarding Karen Bossie. I think she's absolutely excellent and I'm very thankful that I have her for a doctor. Bye.
September 16, 2025
Dr. Bossie is easy to talk to about any issue and answers all my questions and even draws me pictures when I don't understand what's going on. I would highly recommend her.
September 11, 2025

September 11, 2025
I thought Dr. Bossie was awesome. She's great. She was great. Thank you.
September 11, 2025
The front staff, medical assistant (or nurse) and Dr were excellent. It took over two months to schedule an appt. I had a referral from my Dr and no one contacted me. I called this clinic after a month and the person on the phone wouldn't schedule me. Said something about switching to a new system and they would call me back. After three weeks, I called and the person on the phone immediately scheduled me, but I had to wait a few more weeks for my appt. I would say the scheduling staff needs a bit more training on customer service and stay up on their referrals.
September 03, 2025
Dr. Bossie is amazing. The best OBGYN that I've ever been to! I highly recommend her. I only wish that I could schedule my appointment a year in advance. You are so fortunate to have her practicing at MGH!
August 25, 2025

They made me so comfortable as soon as I walk in!!!! Like they really care! She was the best Dr . I have never meet just amazing the way they made me feel! The BEST!!!!
August 25, 2025
I needed a F/U appt for 3 months and the schedule wasn't available to make it. I would like to be able to schedule my next appt on checkout. It seems like the schedule should be available for atleast a year out.
August 25, 2025
It's always a great experience with Dr. Bossie. She's very thorough and she makes you feel very comfortable about any questions that you have to ask. I really look forward and value my appointments with Dr. Bossie.

August 14, 2025
Dr. Karen Bossie is one of the best doctors. I love her. She's friendly. She's very nice. She asks anything she can do for you. And the team that she had were courteous and professional. And I guess that's it.
July 29, 2025
The Dr was pleasant and knowledgeable. Explained things well.
July 29, 2025
Wonderful. Caring. Respectful staff. I was and am in very good care in my opinion. So glad I chose this facility to have a referral to. I am confident and positive about the care I am receiving. My provider is empathic and encouraging. It makes a difference to have positivity all around you when facing a health problem that has occurred suddenly. I am a social worker, a caregiver, a mom and grandmom, an empath too! Hearing negative comments about healthcare in this day and age is such a bummer! Rock on Maine General!
July 28, 2025
This was a wonderful facility. The staff was great. I love Dr. Bossie and her assistant. They were very professional. I'd recommend this to any of my friends and family.
July 28, 2025
Dr Bossie was very informative and willing to discuss any questions, as well as elaborate to helpful information such as hospital hours and when to go through ER, for help, wouldn't have thought of this, but helpful to know! Very freindly and interested in getting to know you- not just checking heart beat and moving along!
July 24, 2025
The physician was great and very helpful and to let me know what was wrong and what wasn't wrong. And she even felt compassion for me in my situation.
July 24, 2025
Everyone was very nice and helpful, especially Dr. Bossie. She was the best and answered all my questions! I highly recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Karen Bossie is an impressive physician with great knowledge in her field and is extremely helpful to work with and a wonderful physician.
July 08, 2025
I am a breast cancer survivor and have been a patient with Dr.Bossie for over five years. She has monitored me throughout. When this recent issue transpired she personally called me to let me know she had consulted with two colleagues about my case. That prompted my decision to have her perform a total hysterectomy. I actually experienced a relief in my decision. I had the surgery at the Thayer facility which was so convenient. All went smoothly. I arrived home by lunch. I actually feel better than I did before. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate Dr. Bossie a 10 plus plus. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful physician that truly cares and goes above and beyond for her patients. Thank you Dr. Bossie for all you do.
July 08, 2025
Dr. Bossie was was both friendly and professional and really listened to my concerns.

July 07, 2025
Dr.Bossie and her team were phenomenal! I see many providers at Maine General , in the 2 1/2 years of seeing many including Alfond Center, hospital and doctors in the network, I have only met 2-3 employees who were less than nice or helpful!
July 07, 2025
Everyone at this practice was friendly kind and knowledgeable .dr Bossie is wonderful and so gentle in the exam
July 07, 2025
It was our first time meeting Dr. Bossie! She was truly fantastic. She had obviously reviewed our ultrasound and my health history prior to meeting me. She sat down with us and never even logged into the computer until we were finished with our conversation. She truly made us feel like we had as much time as we needed. She not only obviously had knowledge, but the emotional intelligence to help us understand a scary situation. She also acknowledged my husband and asked if he had any questions too. We left feeling like we had gained understanding, support, and comfort. Thank you for everything you do!
July 03, 2025
Dr. Bossie was terrific and I would recommend her to other women.

My care provider was polite, professional, and took time to answer, in laymen terms, any questions I had.
June 24, 2025
Dr. Bossie was amazing. It was my first time seeing her and I was very nervous after having a not so pleasant experience with another OB/GYN back in February. I can say after my visit with her, I feel comfortable with her as a provider.
June 19, 2025

I have been a patient with Northern Lights. I got this appointment as a referral when I had an appointment with my PCP right around the news of their hospital closing down. With the status of everyone's employment status, I was given this appointment with Maine General. I found Dr Bossie to be very knowledgeable with the problem I am having. We had an in depth and comfortable conversation about my care. I am extremely happy to have been assigned Dr Bossie for my appointment
June 10, 2025

Dr. Bossie and her team are fantastic. My husband and I felt all of my concerns and questions were taken into consideration. Thank you!
May 14, 2025
Dr Bossie was great despite my uneasiness and lack of confidence the Maine's health system. I'm not from this state and had no clue how impossible it would be to get general appointments or even urgent appointments. I'm fortunate to have a physician that cared but the resources here are severely lacking.
May 12, 2025
Dr Bossie is well wonderful. I feel fortunate to have her as a physician.
May 08, 2025

First time @ MGMC gyn and meeting Dr Bossie. Cannot say enough superlative things about her !! Immediately felt at ease with her. Bright, friendly, communicated and listened really meaningfully, had THOROUGHLY reviewed and was knowledgeable regarding my past gyn history, and was genuine in every way. Trust her skills and care completely. She discussed everything with me and included me in deciding a treatment plan. AWESOME!!!
May 01, 2025
Dr. Bossie was amazing and instantly put me at ease. She explained things in a way that I could easily understand.
May 01, 2025
I was quite pleased with everything. I hadn't seen Dr. Bossie for a while and she was just as nice as she was years ago. And all your staff was very nice and helpful and directed me how to get in and how to get out. Okay, then, everything was very pleasant and I really enjoyed seeing Dr. Bossie, even though it was an issue that I had to have her check. But everything was pleasant and I got good results from what she said. Thank you. Bye.
April 30, 2025

I liked Dr. Bossie very much!
April 17, 2025
I want to clarify that this was my first appointment with OB/GYN so it really wasn't possible for the practice to know much about my medical history. Dr. Bossie made me feel at ease and took the time to answer my questions and explain the "next steps" to me. I have only positive feelings about my experience.
April 10, 2025
Very happy and feel comfortable with my day surgery coming up!! So glad I got to see this practice again!!
April 10, 2025

March 17, 2025
The Dr was very knowledgable about her job.
March 14, 2025
Dr. Bossie is a very compassionate person, which makes her a wonderful doctor. She addressed things I wasn't necessarily focused on, but it helped me understand much more about my personal health. I never feel rushed or like anything I want to discuss is unimportant. I truly wish more doctors I personally encounter were like her, but sadly that is becoming less common everyday.....which is sad and frustrating. Very happy with my care with Dr. Bossie and her support staff!
March 14, 2025
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable from the time I entered the front door to the office. This was my first time meeting Dr. Bossie and I was pleasantly surprised to have a doctor that I immediately felt comfortable with. She was very knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and was also very compassionate. MGMC is very lucky to have such a great provider.
March 10, 2025

March 06, 2025
Dr. Bossie, Stacy and the PA were all very compassionate and listened to my concerns
February 27, 2025
Scheduling an appointment is a huge issue. Phone isn't answered, return calls not made, and length of wait to be seen is unacceptable.
February 26, 2025
My visit to the OB/GYN was an incredibly positive experience, thanks to Dr. Bossie. She is truly an amazing doctor with a unique ability to make her patients feel comfortable and at ease. From the moment I walked in, I felt heard as she took the time to listen to my concerns. Not only did she answer every question I had, but she also explained my upcoming surgery in great detail, using pictures to ensure I fully understood each step. Her thoroughness and clear communication made me feel confident and well-prepared for the procedure. Dr. Bossie's care and professionalism truly stand out.
February 24, 2025
I greatly appreciated the timely scheduling and response. Thank you, deeply.
February 19, 2025
Dr. Bossie is an excellent provider. She's kind, funny and is very thorough in explaining any and all questions. Her treatment plans are explained (the whys and hows). I couldn't recommend her and her team enough!
February 11, 2025
All of the office staff is wonderful - knowledgeable and helpful. I was scheduled for imaging before I left the office. I was able to have labs done before I left the building. There was a minimal wait. Dr. Bossie is always up to date on my medical history and needs, she listens and respects what I am saying regarding my care. I feel like we work well together as a team! The Ultrasound tech was gentle and caring - this can be an uncomfortable procedure, she makes sure it is not. All in all, a very positive experience, I have been seeing Dr. Bossie for approximately many years and her wonderful care has been consistent since day 1!! Thank you.
February 11, 2025

Karen Bossie was amazing! She made sure i fully understood what was going on with my pregnancy, explained any and all options for birthing plans and medications, discussed my personal issues and came up with a solution the same day and made me feel very comfortable overall. She has a great attitude and creates a welcoming environment. Dr. Bossie has great communication skills. She goes above and beyond for patients. I would highly recommend her as an OB any day.

My provider was awesome. Very thorough and explained everything and made me very comfortable
January 27, 2025
The receptionist told me I might have a wait and I told her I had a husband at home that I couldn't leave for that long. And she seemed to talk with someone and they got me in right away. I appreciated that.Dr Bossie also tried to work in the time that I was hoping to get for my surgery.This was helpful.
January 21, 2025
Dr. Bossie is amazing!
January 20, 2025
Yes, the team was great. It was very difficult to get an appointment, but that's typical for other offices also. But the care that I received, I was very happy with, and Dr. Bossie did a great job explaining what my problem was and what the possibilities were to take care of this or some treatment options. She was very helpful and so wasn't the office staff. And I would highly recommend all of them. I was very pleased with my visit. Thank you.
January 14, 2025
Outstanding experience!
