I appreciated every part of the process, not only were they professional but they were all polite, concerned, caring, and sympathetic. Also there was not a long wait time which I appreciated because I was extremely ill. Thank you!

Job well done
November 28, 2025
Very informative with everyone I spoke to was very informative and the staff really made us feel comfortable, made us feel like they were listening to what we had to say, didn't just brush everything we said off and seemed to take what we said into consideration and it seems like they're helping us try to get over whatever's going on with our throat. So I appreciate it.

the practitioner who met with me had a terrible bedside manner. she was condescending, contradictory and evasive. i actually felt humiliated by her when i left. everyone else in the office was very pleasant except for the practitioner.

The waiting was hard to handl

When I went into the express care, I indicated that I had pretty severe lower abdominal pain. I was checked in, I paid my $80 co-pay, and I was brought into a room where the PA felt my stomach and then told me that they don't have any imaging equipment there and that I needed to go to the ER. I feel like the front desk should have told me before I paid my $80 co-pay that I should just go to the ER because they cannot help me or diagnose anything regarding lower abdominal pain. I'm sure that there are categories where you can just kind of send people to the ER. It really irritated me and I'm very unhappy.

Thank you for the quality care you provided. Lily Russell is a great asset to Maine General Health. Everyone was kind and courteous. I would recommend you to my family and friends.
November 09, 2025
This is the most professional, caring, urgent care in the area and I actually drive past two others to get to your facility. Thank you so much.

Yes, I did get the printout report from Lily Russell. I didn't see anything on it where she had checked my lungs and found there were no raws. It was perfectly clear. Her report based solely on her, you know, looking at my throat and whatever. But she did check my lungs and I asked her if there were any raws and she said, no, they're clear. They're clear. But there was nothing in the report about that for me to take back to my primary physician. So that's about the only thing. Thank you.

The provider was very thorough and even though I didn't want to she referred me to the hospital where I got great care.
November 03, 2025
The entire team to include the registration clerk, medical assistant, and then the provider were all very professional, respectful and provided exceptional care. I also received my referral and appointment for follow up care relatively quickly. I would recommend the facility and staff to anyone who needs care. Please pass on my thanks to all involved with my care.

Great experience from start to finish!
October 24, 2025
I feel I did not receive a good, informed standard of care The PA was condescending, dismissive and flippant. I have serious concerns about your services.
October 24, 2025
The receptionist was very friendly and patient. Lily was a delight, very professional , attentive, and caring. I never had vertigo before and I was a bit frightened as well as feeling quite dizzy and nauseated. Lily diagnosed me very quickly and decisively. Her explanation of it was thorough and helped me understand what was happening in my ear. It was a relief to know why I was feeling as I did. I really appreciate all she did.
October 17, 2025
Lily was very thorough in explaining my conditions clearly. She offered support and concern while remaining entirely professional in her interactions with me. She was a clear communicator.
October 17, 2025

September 24, 2025
very caring. helpful. felt like i was very cared about in wanting me to get well. thank you!
September 14, 2025
1st, the provider did give me a shot & it didn't help before i left, but ultimately it did help a lot. i was asked when i was there if it helped & i said no - but later it did. & she also did give me a script which was also very helpful. so i was happy w/ the medical service although she didn't explain what she was doing when she "tested" me. & the provider was not very welcoming, friendly, i felt like i was sort-of bothering her. she didn't smile. she didn't have a good bedside manner.

Dr. Lilly was really, really nice. She is one super, super person. I really enjoyed the place. I will highly recommend her to anybody and everybody else too.
August 14, 2025
The registration lady was very personable and helpful. The lady that showed me to the exam room and took my vitals was very easy and helpful. Lily examined my toe and explained what was going on and prescribed the appropriate ointment. A much more enjoyable experience than at the ER in Augusta with my sister.
August 13, 2025
I want to thank Dr. Lily Russell. Exceptional. I can't even begin to say exactly. She's just exceptional. My son is on the spectrum and her care and concern and explaining things was just great.
August 13, 2025
Lily Russell is awesome. She took the time to explain everything to me and that was the best part, plus her compassion and kindness. Hold on to her!

Kindness, efficiency, all done in a timely manner.
August 06, 2025
The level of care far exceeded my expectations!!! The wait time was minimal especially considering that I was a walk in and that the waiting room already had a number of people ahead of me. Wish I had used this service much earlier, I will definitely use it from now on and recommend it to others.
August 06, 2025
The best around. Very convenient area.
August 05, 2025
Because of the scarcity of podiatrists, I was unable to see one, but the staff directed me to Express Care, where I received the attention I needed.

I really appreciated the great care from everyone there. Thank you for sending that bug bite culture and getting me on the correct drug for the bug!
July 09, 2025
Receptionist didn't even know the fax number for the office. An the fact we are in 2025 an you can't see files from the Maine hospital is pathetic. Never will go with you guys again for service. Tried to give you another chance an you still suck

May 20, 2025
Great, efficient operation. People are just very helpful. Thank you.
May 16, 2025
The PA who saw us took our concerns seriously and didn't brush anything off as overreacting, which was a big relief. Because of her attentiveness and willingness to help, we were able to get crucial bloodwork done that is speeding up my daughter's diagnosis. What meant the most was how the PA truly listened, took the time to understand our situation, and did what she could to help us take the next steps. Her compassion and care made all the difference, more than she probably knows. Thank you so much for being there when we needed it most.

I like coming to the walk-in care down in Waterville because they do a good job, they get you in fast, and they take care of you well. That's all I have to say. I really like going there.

How many express care post surgical with a bandage issue due to drain lines? It was beyond what they felt that they could safely take care of, but they definitely took a good look at everything and said that I really needed to go and have a CAT scan and receive care from the emergency room at cell. They treated me really well and I was very happy with a level of care they could offer.
February 12, 2025
I have always received excellent care at Express Care.
February 03, 2025
Had over a 2 hour wait for treatment. I can appreciate that there were many sick people also waiting to be seen but it is hard to have a long wait when you are not feeling well.
January 28, 2025
Lily Russell was very good! Very on the ball. Excellent PA
