Everyone was professional, helpful and polite and knowledgeable.
October 10, 2025
The appointment time I received in a phone call was different that the time I received in a text. Phone stated 11:00, text stated 11:45. Confusing.

Very satisfied with my appointment. Great to get rid of the majority of the pain. And also to be included in the follow up consult.

Ortho team was welcoming and took my condition seriously.
August 29, 2025
When I got home and read my xray report, I realized that there were actually 2 fragility fractures in my lower leg/ankle. This was different than the initial xray taken when I first had the fracture. No one explained this to me. I feel like they hadn't even read the initial report.
August 26, 2025
My experience with Oscar and the doctor and the nurses was wonderful. I mean, they all know their business, they're to the point, they don't mingle any words, and they're a good team. And I wouldn't go anyplace else to have a hip or knee surgery, but right there. Thank you.
August 26, 2025
Oscar was great. He listened but was efficient with his assessment and treatment options up to and including saving me time and treated me with cortisone shots the same day and a plan if they do not work for me.
August 26, 2025
The MA, and Oscar Falconer, Pac, Were great.
August 22, 2025
Doctor spent maybe 10 min with me. He was nice but I felt more like a number than a person
August 21, 2025
Oscar F PA entered the room, sat down and said I need an MRI. I stated that I had one In July. He asked only one question as to how my injury occurred. As I was explaining he's talking over me. He abruptly without warning, got up and left.
August 15, 2025
Oscar was easy to talk with,made me comfortable with upcoming surgery
August 12, 2025
Everything seemed to be done but I felt like a number in a deli line.
August 08, 2025
It was a totally positive experience with orthopedics. I would definitely recommend anybody I know that needs there services to contact them before any other orthopedic service
July 26, 2025
Well, as a former employee of Express Care back in the 80s when it started, I found that everyone that was involved doing an excellent job. And I would definitely tell anyone, just as I was told, to come down and use them if they need to. Thank you very much. Bye.
July 19, 2025
The Dr was great. Even when I hollered he was really good
July 18, 2025
They all have been so wonderful, and nice. I really feel like they care and I'm not just a number or a cash sign.
July 18, 2025
Just wish my replacement knee date would be sooner. I know you are all busy but I am very uncomfortable
June 29, 2025
It was a good experience and I think Oscar did what he could do without an x-ray. I went to see a surgeon, back surgeon, the following day down in Portland with Maine Health and he did a very thorough workup on me. That meeting had already been scheduled and concluded that it was probably just a muscle strain, not what Oscar had diagnosed. That's okay, that's not a problem. He didn't have x-rays, I think, closely to look at this difficulty. He did prescribe, Oscar had prescribed a pain medication, which it turns out my insurance company wouldn't offer. And anyway, Tylenol seems to have worked just fine. He said I could take Tylenol, 1,000 milligrams four times a day, and that worked fine for me. And I seem to be on the upswing. I'm at physical therapy. I seem to be improving.
June 29, 2025
There was one problem. One of the drugs prescribed, namely Journavx, is not compatible with my oral chemo drug, Gleevec. My oncologist spotted the problem and advised me to not use Journavx.
June 29, 2025
Answered all my questions well.
June 26, 2025
Scheduled appointment two months out from initial visit at express care, that was the only part that wasn't super. Dr Oscar was awesome all the staff were super at this office.
June 25, 2025
Great office! Busy , but organized. Everyone was awesome!
June 24, 2025
I got in to see the practitioner very efficiently and had no wait time and was greeted with very pleasant individuals and would highly recommend them for anybody who's looking for orthopedics in the future. Thank you.
June 22, 2025
Yes, I was highly impressed with Express Care, period. I have been to the emergency department in the past, and the service was terrible. Six-hour wait, period. I was in and out of here within an hour, and Oscar was extremely kind and helpful. It was a great experience.
June 22, 2025
This provider didn't say anything as far as what he thought was wrong or give me any feedback whatsoever!
June 22, 2025
These folks are top notch. Thoughtful, caring, efficient and empathetic. What a great overall experience. Recommend entirely. Great service and SO glad they're available! Great team!

I had a great experience everybody's very helpful and everybody knows what they're doing.
June 05, 2025
My experience was great but the 2 month wait was tough. My knee was in a lot of pain. I hope in the future I could get in for cortisone shots quicker. Thanks
June 03, 2025
Alwaysca great experience at msine general the staff is as good as they come!
May 29, 2025
Always a pleasure
May 29, 2025
I must say I was thrilled to have a doctor come in on the time that I had. He was prompt, right on the nose of my appointment date and my appointment time, gave me a cortisone shot in my knee and was gone. That's how quick I was in and out of my appointment, which is, I think, a first. They're usually never on time. I usually have to wait in the waiting room and then when I am called, I go in and wait again in another room. By the time I get out of there, half the day is gone. Oscar was absolutely wonderful. I was thrilled to death that he was so prompt. I just wish everybody else was close to being as prompt. Thank you for listening.
May 27, 2025
I'm in the process and it's difficult to commit to anything until the end. So far so good
May 24, 2025
Caring MA & PA. Took their time & made me feel comfortable. Some concern was mentioned about my complaint. The PA made a recommendation & I will see.my PCP soon. I really appreciated his respective manner.
May 15, 2025
Positive experience
May 15, 2025
Time waiting on phone was very stressful they need to update the phones or add additional people waiting on the phone for ten minutes is not appealing
May 15, 2025
All of my questions were considered and answered. Can't ask for more than that!
May 06, 2025
The whole care team was wonderful!!!!!
May 02, 2025

April 24, 2025
It took too many months for an appointment. Otherwise great care.
April 24, 2025
The doctor and his staff were very knowledgeable in their craft. Bedside manners are calming, kind and informative. The doctor and his team reviewed my information, assessed my condition and responded with services above my expectations without hesitation. Both MaineGeneral and the community that they serve are blessed to have them in our service. From a 100% P&T disabled veteran who prefers to stay in the VA network, I want to thank and congratulate this doctor, his team and MaineGeneral Orthopedic's for a job well done!
April 18, 2025
Oscar Falconer and his staff are very friendly and personable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for anything to do with orthopedics.
April 17, 2025
Quick in and excellent service along with no holds barred answers and options.
April 03, 2025
I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to call him Dr. Oscar, but he was excellent. I got more information out of him than I've gotten in a long time. So he was very good and very thorough.
March 25, 2025
The provider came in did introduce himself immediately starting about a hip replacement left side did not ask me any history did not ask me anything I told him I wanted to give him a rundown on what had gone on the look he gave me was like Well yeah if you have to. I have a high threshold for pain but on his exam and manipulation of my legs hips I told him how much it hurt quite loudly on the left side it was enough the right side which is extremely painful it was enough to make me actually yell that hurts. I left there in far more pain than when I arrived this is the next day after the exam and I am painful in areas that I didn't even have pain when I went in. I asked him about steroid injections he was just so cold and unfeeling I never want to see him again. I'm not just a number to be shoved through for a daily quota and that's what I I felt like.
March 20, 2025

February 27, 2025
Oscar has been very helpful in getting me the care I need when my insurance allows them to help me with health problems. Oscar always has a positive attitude with me.
February 25, 2025
The staff that treated me were very respectful and knowledgeable about this procedure and most of all were friendly, which I believe to be what makes procedures like this more trustworthy between the docs and the patients. I am very, very pleased with how my experience went and very,very glad I had the staff that I had today!!!!

January 11, 2025
Everyone was friendly and polite. The service was quick.
January 11, 2025
Oscar was professional and friendly. He reviewed films and explained potential plans of care that may occur when I saw the referral specialist. The intake nurse was also exceptional in making me comfortable and understanding.
January 07, 2025
My only complaint was the wait of almost 2 months for an appointment for a cortisone shot. I was offered to go on a wait list but did not get a call. I assume everyone was keeping their appointments as they also had to wait as long as I did.
December 30, 2024
Best Orthopedic office in Maine.

When I looked at my portal about that appointment. I immediately noticed that almost all of the test that were stated as being done were not. The list is too long for me to put here. The only physical thing done was while I was seated. My knee was brought to my chest then moved over to the right side and left side. Which is one of my the things I do in physical therapy, not one other test was done. I explained where most of the pain was and pointed to it. Also, it states that I had not had a fall within the last year. I was not asked about falls. If she would have asked me I would have told her that I fell and fractured my ankle a couple months ago. It states no pain getting in and out of a car or putting socks on. No one asked me about that, and I do have pain getting in and out of a car. Also, it says the bursitis shot helped my bursitis a little but not the posterior pain. The posterior pain was not there or ever had been there before the shot for bursitis. I could go on and on and I am very disappointed, and I will never go back there.
December 10, 2024
Not soon enough but do understand the very busy schedule
December 06, 2024
Great personality and made me feel more relaxed since I was nervous about my knee surgery
November 19, 2024
The PA spent a great deal of time talking with me about my knee pain. He figured out that my hip was the real problem! Bone on bone arthritis and a hip replacement
