We moved to the area 13 months ago and had opportunity to visit with our care team several times. Very pleased with how things are going.

Kristin is a fantastic director and person! She takes the time to answer all of my questions especially involving my cancer diagnosis.

Augusta Family Medicine's staff, from the Customer Service Representative to the Medical Assistant to the Doctors, have all been prompt and helpful whenever we have had questions or needed an appointment. They are very knowledgeable and personable and put me at ease. I would highly recommend the practice. Thank you,
October 07, 2025
They were friendly somewhat but did t feel like my concerned were address. Just always seems like they ask correct questions and want you to leave.

Kristin Patterson DO made the removal of Mole off my collar bone area easy! I am very fortunate to her as my Primary doctor @ Augusta Family Medicine.

Dr Patterson like always is amazing with my son! All questions answered, she interacted with him and he loved it.... I travel to this office and it's the best choice I've made for my son
September 23, 2025
Dr Patterson definitely treated me with respect, listening to my every concern and including me in choosing how I treat my health.
September 22, 2025
Dr. Patterson was great. She explained things very thoroughly.
September 12, 2025
It was a good health wellness care visit
September 12, 2025
My previous interactions with Dr. Patterson were abrupt and left me feeling like she did not care about my issues but instead wanted to pass me on to someone else. This most recent visit was totally different - she was very personable and listened to me and I felt like she heard my concerns and would work with me to see them addressed. I am glad to see this change.

kristin patterson is terrific!
September 03, 2025
New patient. Really appreciated the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. Took a while to get an appointment, but I blame myself for not having a regular pcp. Great to have the peace of mind I can turn to someone with medical questions and start becoming more proactive with monitoring my health.
August 29, 2025
Dr. Patterson and her staff were excellent. Thank you.
August 26, 2025
I've had many different experiences at this primary care office. Some not so great, this last visit... minus the being told they have another patient to see so we need to wrap it up was not bad. This physician appeared very engaged in the well-being and care of my current situation.
August 26, 2025
Thank you so much for the ongoing great care!!!
August 26, 2025
It was awesome to go to our first appointment being a new patient, have check in smooth, nurse to take us right on time, and then to have the Dr minutes in the room after nurse left. This is a huge praise to this office. Look forward to being seen as a regular patient in this office.
August 25, 2025
Dr Patterson was mean. She acted like she didnt care about me or my health. She would not listen to me.
August 25, 2025
Doc Patterson is very thorough and compassionate.
August 22, 2025
Received good practical advice about back pain. Appointment began on time. KP was on her game.
August 22, 2025
Great visit! Thank you.
August 12, 2025
Dr. Patterson was extremely efficient and very, very outstanding. Very pleased with her.
August 05, 2025
Questions were answered issues were discussed openly both medical and other related issues. I feel Dr Patterson and I are partners in my overall health care.
August 05, 2025
I've been a patient for number of years and have always been satisfied with staff and Physicians.
August 01, 2025
Dr Patterson was very thorough with her questions and relaying information about weight loss procedures i was interested in.
July 30, 2025
Dr Patterson is amazing!
July 25, 2025
They didn't know my health history because the previous doctor never transferred records, so that wasn't their fault. I did have to wait one year to get a new patient appointment though. My first impression of the staff was a good one.
July 23, 2025
Every time I visit, I am treated so well by everyone from the front desk staff to the nurses to the doctors. They are on time, prompt, and give me all the attention I require. I never feel rushed, or as if I'm being 'blown off' because they need to see other patients. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes in between my 'check in' nurse and seeing the doctor. Dr. Patterson in particular has treated me so well. In a world where, as a woman, I have often had my concerns dismissed and my voice shut down by medical professionals, Dr. Patterson makes me feel heard and seen. I have told family and friends to switch to her and this practice because of the excellent care I receive EVERY TIME. Please take my heartfelt gratitude and respect.
July 23, 2025
The entire experience was positive. I would recommend AFM and Dr Patterson to anyone.
July 22, 2025
Professional, friendly, helpful visit.
July 14, 2025
Be more truthful about what is going on behind the scenes. Be truthful about letters that are sent to your office about my medication and being referred to as Polypharmcy. The so called nurse that contacted my doctors has never met me,or examined me. She is talking out her backside. It is totally unethical to ask my PCP to talk about the meds they prescribe to me without my permission. I hope this mater is cleared up quickly and not happen again in the future. If this continues to be a problem I have no problem looking into legal advice.
July 14, 2025
The doctor was nice enough. Professional. Seemed to be going through the motions
July 07, 2025
After only checking my vitals and listening to my lungs and heart. And offering a couple vaccines I was sent on my way. She just went through the motions for billable hours. This was a joke and has me feeling like I need to find a different doctor's office. I have never had a medical professional be so disinterested in my health.
June 30, 2025
It was a great experience for my first visit
June 30, 2025
Very short visit. Feeling rushed.Not all my health concerns were discussed. Leaving confused whether I needed a yearly physical after a first initial appointment.
June 30, 2025
Dr Patterson was welcoming and made my visit very pleasant.
June 20, 2025
At my visit, my second visit with Kristin, she was, as the first time, dismissive of many of my concerns. She put down any of my questions, and I would prefer to have a different primary care in future.
June 10, 2025
They listened to me. Answered all my questions. Very pleased.
June 04, 2025
I'm very impressed with my first visit. I feel like I'm in good hands and I'm grateful.
June 03, 2025
My visit with K. Patterson was a terrible experience. She made me feel hopeless about my health concerns. She told me I had no options. She told me she couldn't give me a referral for a specialist because I wouldn't qualify for it based on my symptoms. She told me I had to manage my symptoms with no other options. I left the practice crying and I felt very angry and uncared for by K. Patterson. K. Patterson made me feel belittled and like I was wasting her time. I have never been treated so poorly by a medical professional before.
June 02, 2025
Dr Patterson is on the ball...she answered all my questions, and she was patient with me asking details about some conflicting/confusing blood results. I felt a bit more at ease after leaving the appointment.
May 21, 2025
I feel I am getting the best of care through Kristin Patterson and the staff at Augusta Family Medicine. Everyone is very professional and pleasant.
May 21, 2025
Dr. Patterson extremely pleasant and patient in explaining any condition, treatment, etc. Intake staff also efficient and pleasant.
May 19, 2025
My experience was very good.
May 16, 2025
Dr. Patterson seemed like she was in a hurry but still took the time to ask about what I would like to address and talk about those things.
May 16, 2025
This was the shortest (7-8 minute) exam I've had. I was not satisfied with this exam and would not recommend her to my family. I will be requesting an alternate medical provider for future appointments.
May 16, 2025
This was my second visit with Dr Patterson and I was very disappointed because it was the quickest annual visit I have ever had with any provider, maybe 8 minutes, if that. She never even touched me, but her stethoscope did!
May 14, 2025
I was very satisfied with my appointment. I was not happy that it took me a year to get into this practice. But when I did finally get an appointment, I was extremely satisfied. The receptionist, the nurse, the doctor, everybody was very knowledgeable and very caring. And I was so amazed that they knew so much about my medical history. Fabulous, fabulous. Thank you very much.

May 02, 2025
Dr. Patterson is hard working and brilliant. She keeps up to date on all that her patients need and knows so much medically. She is a warm and caring Dr.

Dr. Kristin Patterson was prompt and considerate as always. Her ability to understand my anxiety was very helpful. The entire team at the clinic is outstanding.
April 16, 2025
Other than the long lead time to see a primary care provider for the initial visit, all of our care has been outstanding.
April 11, 2025
Maine gen family care has speed, rapport, professionalism and care that sets them apart from other practices I have dealt with for the past 2 years. Glad I finally found them

February 11, 2025
I was very pleased. Everybody was very nice and the appointment went well and it was very timely. I didn't have to wait that long. Thank you. Bye.
February 11, 2025
This was a meet and greet for me to determine whether I wanted to switch to this practice, and I have decided to switch to this practice from my current practice as my current practice was not able to procure physician or a PA who gave me excellent service in the past
February 11, 2025
Your wait times are extreme for appt
February 05, 2025
I felt heard, my Doctor, Kristin Patterson discussed 2 matters I was concerned about. Given professional feedback and ordered lab work for me related to my concerns. Took her time, not rushing me throughout the visit.
January 29, 2025
Medical care at Maine General has become WOKED...patients have to diagnose their diseases. I had prostate cancer and had to fight and argue to get treated
January 29, 2025
It was my first appointment with Dr. Patterson. I found her to be an Extremely good and thorough doctor. She covered everything and also answered all my questions and concerns. I was very comfortable with her. I also thought the rest of the care team was very good and personable. My overall appointment was excellent.

Both myself and my husband are new patients of Dr. Patterson last year. We like Dr. Patterson a lot. She has made that transition a lot easier for us. She's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk with. Explaining things in a way we can understand. Great doctor.
January 14, 2025
I was seen by a young med student who is going to make an amazing doctor. Took the time to listen, took notes, pleasant. He was working with my primary care doctor. Dr. Patterson took the time to listen and explain the next steps. Knowledgeable and caring. Thank you both
