I felt that the team worked really well in getting me in and checking me out and my issue I had at a time. And Shawn was very good as far as what he had to do. And I appreciate everything was done. Thank you.

Dr. Sean, as far as names I saw, was a real great guy. Explained a lot of stuff and very professional. I highly recommend him and I'll be seeing him in the future. He's a good guy. Staff team is great.
September 24, 2025
Shawn McGlew was very thorough & knowledgeable. He was kind and courteous. He gave me more information about my condition and treatment than anyone else has in the past year. I look forward to working with him.
September 24, 2025
From the volunteer that brought me to the right dept. , the young lady at registration, the nurse that took my BP. finally the Doctor. All acted kindly and professionally. Thank you .
September 24, 2025
Dr. McGraw is the best.
September 11, 2025
I waited an hour after my appointment time before I saw Shawn. I am supposed to have a cat scan scheduled and I still have not gotten a call 4 business days after my appointment.
September 05, 2025
The staff in the front, they were super nice and helpful. And then Dr. Shawn, I don't know what was last name, he was really wonderful, very thorough, took time to listen to me and try to be as thorough as he could to find the issue. And just very, very, very nice and helpful. And I had a wonderful experience.
September 05, 2025
I tried to make an appointment but they said THEY would call ME. Then, the morning before my visit they had a cancellation. The caller was under the impression that I already HAD an appointment but could not see WHEN that was. I took the open slot with dubious conviction
September 03, 2025
Very informative, thanks
September 03, 2025
I was very pleased to be with Shawn McGlew. He is very thorough and I will recommend him to anyone asking me about a urologist.
August 27, 2025
Great experience. Highly recommend this practice. Dr. McGlew was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
August 20, 2025
I was completely satisfied and much relieved after my appointment I was educated about my problem and instructed as to the best course of action and allowed to make my own decisions. I chose the doctor recommended solution.
August 20, 2025
I saw Shawn McGlew yesterday. As usual he did a fine job of giving me sensible, professional advice.
August 19, 2025
I've been seeing Shawn for a couple years now and he always takes the time to explain things to me and also take the time to listen to any concerns I have.
August 14, 2025
when I came to my appointment i was on the wrong day and they said that the schedule was full. I went down and the elevator and came back to a different receptionist to ask if they could schedule a earlier date than the one I schedule for. She checked the schedule and there was a cancellation that day a hour latter. If I had not come back to asked I would have missed my opportunity that day. If someone makes a mistake I think they should always check the schedule for a cancellation or a earlier date. Not a big issue but I had travelled a good distance for the appointment so having not to come back was a big deal for me. I thanked the person for doing the extra to help me out. I liked the other location a lot more. I feel like a number at the new location. I like the doctors and PA.
August 12, 2025
I really appreciated the personal care and the friendliness of the staff.
August 12, 2025
Shawn was on his game as in he knew his stuff. I enjoyed talking with him and learned a lot from him.
August 12, 2025
I am always 100% comfortable and feel like my provider has my best interest at heart
August 12, 2025
Shawn is very good. I am glad he is my provider.
August 12, 2025
Terrible signage in the building finding the urology department
August 08, 2025
Shawn, P.A. Is very caring, knowledgeable, and down to earth in his explanations.
August 07, 2025
I was treated with dignity and respect. Shawn was very knowledgeable of my history. He listened to my concerns and thoughtfully treated me accordingly. My only complaint was not with Urology, but with Maine General. The layout of the hospital is convoluted. The back is the front and the front is the back. It is not well thought out with regards to handicapped parking and general access.
August 06, 2025
Shawn was great!
August 05, 2025
Yes, the staff and the nurse practitioner were very helpful in answering questions I had. Highly recommend. Thank you.
July 30, 2025
The only thing I didn't like was i waited an 45 minutes after my appointment time to be seen. Nurse and Dr both apologized for the wait. Every one was nice and very attentive once in was I in a room. The location was easy to find with the signage.
July 23, 2025
Waited in the exam room for just shy of an hour without being seen. Had a 9am appointment and the provider did not come in the room until 10am. I work in Healthcare and understand things happen, but an hour waiting in an exam room without even someone poking their head in to say that the provider is running behind is unacceptable. That being said the provider was very personable and did apologize for running behind.
July 23, 2025
Sat in a dark room because the lights wouldn't stay on in the room water kept turning on and off. I totally dislike the new facility so would I recommend anybody to go there no, it's a horrible set up.
July 15, 2025
Good visit i was nervous seeing a male urologist however he was very good at making me feel at ease. All was fine.
July 15, 2025
excellent
July 10, 2025
He's a wonderful doctor.
July 10, 2025
I felt very well taken care of by Shawn McGlew and people who worked with him. It's always a pleasure to see him. I've known him for a long time. And I think he's very competent, answered all my questions, examined the parts I wanted examined, and gave me encouraging advice. I would trust him with my life and I would recommend him extremely highly to all my friends.
July 09, 2025
I like how Shawn Mc Glew took the time with me to explain my plan of care. He is compassionate and caring.
July 08, 2025
Shawn is a great doc!!
July 08, 2025
Dr. McGlew has to be the most understanding doctor u have on staff. He definitely cares about his patients and he listens to them
June 24, 2025
Very understanding and helpful. Felt like they cared about what I was going through
June 20, 2025
My visit there was very good. They seem to know a lot more than my last hospital at Northern Light. I thank them very much.
June 10, 2025
It is nice when the Doctor has reviewed my file prior to the visit. Shawn was definitely prepared.
June 10, 2025
The hospital could use better signs to get you to the urology office, the young lady at the help desk actually walked me all the way to the office , she knows how to treat a patient, very nice personality ?
June 03, 2025
I'd recommend him to anybody to come in and see him if they need him.
June 03, 2025
As usual, the entire staff comported themselves warmly and professionally.
May 15, 2025
as always a good visit. However, as always at least a 40 to 45 min wait after brought to exam room. without exception....
May 13, 2025
Sr listened to my wife's input and thanked her for helping
May 13, 2025
Keep up the excellent work. The care is most exceptional and the team is extremely well trained in their field and work together like a Rolex watch. Thank them all from me and my family.
May 07, 2025
Shawn was very easy to talk to and made me feel like he truly was listening and cared. I walked in a bottle of nerves and walked out feeling very blessed.
April 17, 2025
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable there.
April 17, 2025
It was great. The people that I saw were polite, they were courteous, they were respectful, they respected my age. When I told them I was hard of hearing, they spoke up so that I didn't miss anything they said. And Dr. McGlew was very, very nice, very professional and very informative. And I felt much better about my condition when I left the office than I did before I came in. Thank you. Goodbye. Thank you.
April 16, 2025

March 12, 2025
I was fully involved in discussing ongoing care and options available to me Also, provider Shawn McGlew always reminds to contact office and not struggle with symptoms Helpful, friendly, professional urology practice
March 11, 2025
I feel very confident with Shawn McGlew as my healthcare provider for urology. He does not rush the visit and he explains things in laymen's terms so I have the best possible understanding of what is going on. And he always is interested in my opinions and what my thoughts are in regard to my health.
March 10, 2025
A great staff of professionals that I trust my care with. Shawn always listens about my concerns and provides me with options for my best health care.
March 06, 2025
Overall, everything with the appointment itself went well. However, I had a really hard time with back and forth with the facility to schedule my appointment and finally they just scheduled it and the only reason I knew I had an appointment was because I got a notice that I had a new appointment in my portal. So the time was not really convenient for that appointment. So that would be my only feedback.
March 06, 2025
Yes, Shawn McGlew was absolutely excellent. The whole staff was wonderful and I felt very, very comfortable and that's I guess all I have to say. But it was an absolutely excellent experience. Thank you. Bye.
March 04, 2025
They went out of their way to get me what I needed. They were professional and friendly.
February 24, 2025
I had a very good experience with all staff members and practitioners and nurses who seemed very aware of all my difficulties in taking good care of me I appreciate everything they do and did it was a great experience overall I came out knowing more than when I went in
February 05, 2025
One thing that I noticed when I was at my visit is that my room was right outside maybe the nurse's station. There was a lot of chatter going on and swearing. It didn't seem as professional as I would think for a medical office. That would be my only recommendation is to make the nurses aware that patients can hear their conversation.
February 04, 2025
Shawn is very knowledgeable and good with communicating with me as a patient, which is greatly appreciated.
February 03, 2025

January 15, 2025
I've been with this facility for a couple years now and the staff and the doctor that I have, they have never been a problem. They've always helped me. They understand my situation. They know my medications. They know everything about me and they treat me like family. I would recommend anybody to go there.
January 15, 2025
I was extremely nervous but the staff calmed me down with their upbeat spirit.
January 14, 2025
