September 18, 2026
I had a very good experience.
September 13, 2026
I felt that the services that the hospital staff, including of course the doctors and the workers, were excellent. I certainly appreciated the teamwork. That's what really, really made me feel extremely comfortable seeing everyone working together as a team. And coming into my room, sometimes two, three doctors, they were there to answer any question that I had or to affirm me in terms of how my health condition was coming along. They were just wonderful. I certainly would recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you so much.
September 12, 2026
Very good experience for my needs. Dr was quick and thorough so that I could get meds on time. Could not rate this team high enough, thank you for taking care of me!
September 01, 2026
Running some they were running some blood test on me before they could tell me what's the next step I got two phone calls still waiting on the last line test
August 30, 2026
I appreciated that you treated me like a human being. You guys were thorough. You listened to my input and what I felt I needed and actually took into consideration that I might be right. And I appreciate that like more than anybody could believe. And it was, yeah, and it was very fast service, but just the friendliness and the helpfulness alone was outstanding. Thank you guys.

Stephanie was great - professional, friendly, helpful

It's a great place to go and get treatment. I live 15 minutes away, and you take my insurance. Thanks for being there for me!
July 24, 2026
Stephanie was extremely helpful
July 23, 2026
The staff was actually really super friendly. I felt like I was in good hands all the time. I really have nothing more I could have asked. It was prompt. It was comfortable. It was a nice thing the whole way around.
July 17, 2026
They helped me and let me make decisions about my injury.
July 11, 2026

June 30, 2026
Very respectful and informative
June 22, 2026
Everyone was very polite, professional and I felt heard not just another patient to be seen that day
June 20, 2026
staff very nice.
June 20, 2026
I had a follow up visit. I needed X-rays. I was given printed out directions as I am just visiting. All good results. Thank You very much to the entire team and the people at Maine General - Thayer ?
June 20, 2026
NP Stephanie was pleasant and personable and very helpful with my presenting complaint. I appreciate all she did to help.
June 19, 2026
When results of my lab work came back, they called to let me know that I did not have an infection and that I could stop taking my antibiotics or I could continue taking them if they were helping my symptoms.
June 19, 2026
They followed up And I now have an appointment With primary care
June 19, 2026
Very pleasant experience with helpful staff and nice environment. Very professional and knowledgeable and would highly recommend
June 18, 2026
I have been sick for almost 3 weeks. Went to the ER prior to express care with difficulty breathing and sat waiting for 2 hours just to get in a room, nevermind being seen. Express care had me in triage and to a room within 15 minutes of arrival. Not only did the provider do a thorough assessment, but she also listened to me which was huge. Sometimes healthcare staff forget the patients they treat are people to and not just a number or another $ sign. Major kudos to Stephanie for providing excellent care and listening and while there was not a definitive answer to my health, knowing I was being listened to was huge.
June 05, 2026
Everybody was helpful from start to finish. I was in and out quicker than I thought. And in terms of the actual treatment I received, I thought it was professional and courteous and the provider was able to help remedy the situation quickly and I was out and better in no time. So really grateful for the whole experience being quick and getting the job done and the follow-up and everything. So thanks so much. Keep up the good work.
June 05, 2026
Registration staff wasn't very friendly, i felt like everyone could hear my personal information because she was saying it so loudly. The nurse and NP were very nice and got me in and out of there quickly!
May 30, 2026
Yes, I was especially grateful that my caregiver assured me that it was not irresponsible of me to come in for a visit, even though what I thought I was coming in for turned out not to be the case. But even so, it was very reassuring that I was told I hadn't wasted anybody's time by making the choice to come in. I found the care really helpful, and I left knowing exactly what to do, and I thank you all for the care.
May 30, 2026
Hi, I believe I was really, really surprised that they thought I was really sick. I thought they were just going to send me home. So I would say I had a very good experience and thank you. Bye.

This experience was 1000x better than the experience I had Friday at Concentra. This was a work injury and Concentra berated me and did not listen or do any type of actual exam on me. I felt as if they stereotyped me based on my looks and decided that I was not hurt without even touching my arm. My experience at Express Care on Monday was the total opposite, I felt like I was taken seriously and they actually did an exam and imaging and found I was indeed injured, severely and put a rush on my x-rays because they were worried of deeper damage. I only wish I had gone there 1st.
May 25, 2026
Excellent care, very pleased.
May 25, 2026
I had a great experience. Everyone one there made my experience very enjoyable with it being an unenjoyable reason for having to be there.
May 25, 2026
Stephanie Merganthaler was amazing as was the MA (Alex?) and the psr. Top notch in every way!!
May 22, 2026

Reception staff and treatment staff were all very understanding, personal, and professional in identifying my issue and recommending further treatment. Very pleasant experience which led to successful treatment.
March 12, 2026
I thought the doctor was very thorough and did a great job and explained everything very well. And we did a bunch of tests, which last time I was there, that didn't happen. And I was really impressed with her and everything else. Thank you. Bye.

Found the caregiver nurse to.be very professional and great personality and very helpful
February 20, 2026
The regular office messed up my appt so I went to express care, so naturally I couldn't get a referral that I wanted or a MRI as I have a pinched nerve so I'm doing it on my own. I also think it's sad that you can't see a "real" doctor just nurses
February 16, 2026
I saw Dr Stephanie Mergenthaler. She was caring and understanding. She was professional and listened to me. The MA on duty was very professional. I also saw a student who was also very understanding.
February 16, 2026

January 15, 2026
Staff were excellent. They listened to my concerns. They gave me feedback. They did not appear pressed for time. Like typical offices, you got 15 minutes to see the patient. They took the time necessary to care for me and I appreciate it. It was great.
January 12, 2026
Great service and concern for the well being of patients.
January 12, 2026

I specifically came in and said I was looking to be tested for the flu because I had just started experiencing symptoms (was hoping for Tamiflu while in the window)and wasn't informed before being seen that there was no tests available. I would have just left had I known I wasn't getting what I came for.

The nurse was amazing, very knowledgeable and personable. The doctor as well. I felt as though I received the care I would have received from my pcp. Love the availability for X-rays on site and not having to go to the er to get scans. Very thorough care.

October 06, 2025
It seems now 48 hours, I guess, after my visit, my lab work still hasn't shown up in Follow My Health. I understood that the Follow My Health portal was a trans facility, trans provider window into all kinds of information. And as I said, I haven't seen anything from this visit show up. in the portal yet. Thank you.
