The male doctor that I saw at Oakland Family Medicine, Dr. Vinh, was helpful.
March 25, 2026
The doctors were really great this time around. Actually, I've had no problems with my doctors at all. It's just the fact that my orders never went in and then when I called, nobody called me back and then they still didn't come in and then I had to go to the ER and it wasn't filled in, did something get done. But my trip around, the doctor was awesome. He was amazing and he listened and he actually showed that he cared.

Mr. Vinh Dam is an outstanding member of your practice. A very good listener and didn't overdue what was necessary to treat my problem. Very knowledgeable and patient.

The inability to get a prompt appointment is the biggest issue. Being sent to the ER or express care instead of seeing your own PCP. Is the issue. WHEN. You are able to see your own P C P the care is excellent. This isn't their fault. It's poor planning and management at the executive level at MaineGeneral.

It is very frustrating trying to get my prescriptions filled now. In the ER I gave them my UHC card and when there was a balance l gave them my supplemental insurance card through Curative /Cigna. Now every time l try to get my prescriptions filled at Walgreens which is my pharmacy lm told it's out of network and l can't get my medication on time. Since being in the ER this is the third time it's happening and it's upsetting.

I have only been a patient at this practice for one year. I was hesitant at first since I had always been in a much smaller practice. However, I have been very pleased about my change. The staff, and I mean the entire staff, have been kind, caring and professional. When needed they have made it possible to be seen the same day as I called. I do have a serious health condition and when my symptoms suggest it could be an exacerbation of my illness they make sure I get the care I need. I appreciate all of the staff from the receptionists to the MD's.
March 11, 2026
If I didn't have great experience with this facility I wouldn't go. The treat me with respect and kindness. I would recommend them completely

They were all very helpful
February 27, 2026
It has to do with referrals the system here in Maine work so slow I've never in my life living in New England dealt with how long it takes for referrals from one place to another you have to go to an emergency room to get a referral to a doctor and then to a doctor to somebody else and it takes weeks it's far too slow
February 27, 2026

Oakland Family is full of the BEST Doctors, Physicians Assistants, Nurses and Medical assistants. 10 out of 10 care from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave. I could not trust another facility like OFM! FAST, need an acute appointment? They get you in. Need a visit with you PCP? Right on the schedule. Not months out. Have never ever had a bad experience in this office, even while I worked in it. 10 out of 10. There is just not another office, as excellent ad this one!
February 06, 2026

January 05, 2026
Everyone is very patient oriented. A wonderful experience again.
December 31, 2025
Vinh is excellent and covers all the necessary symptoms.
December 08, 2025
The only problem I got is when I call you up, I like to talk to a person, not a machine. I thank you very much. Have a good day.
December 08, 2025
Vinh listened and I felt heard - unlike a recent experience at the Thayer ED.
December 04, 2025
This was my first visit with Dr. Vinh Dam and it was an informative visit. He checked my surgical incisions and confirmed that they were doing well. He answered all my questions and I felt very confident about how my recovery was going. Very pleasant, easy to talk to and informative. A+ visit
December 01, 2025
Everyone was very nice. I'm a hard one when it comes to trusting Dr, and I was very comfortable at my appointment. He explained everything to me in words I would understand. To my shocking I was comfortable and liked him. Thank you for a comfortable visit.
November 28, 2025
I was very impressed with the treatment I got. Very nice to have this service close to home.
November 17, 2025
The provider I saw took time to listen to my concerns. I didn't feel rushed at all. The exam for the issue I went in for was very thorough. He was very specific about what he felt was the appropriate treatment and explained what was going on. He gave me instructions and made sure I understood the issue and treatment suggestions. I was amazed at the amount of time and attention he gave me. I can't say enough good about my visit.
November 12, 2025
They are great! Always polite and positive and thorough.
November 11, 2025
It's really difficult to get through to the office. It'l takes days to get a return reply from the portal or from a nurse.
November 10, 2025
This was the first time I had seen the physicians assistant and I was very pleased with his suggestions and details about how we would go about treatment.
November 10, 2025
My entire visit was very positive! I was seen promptly, all staff were friendly, and I felt the level of care was excellent.
October 29, 2025
Just answer the phone in a timely manner. I do not call unless needed.

Smoot, professional, caring. The way it should be.
October 27, 2025
I have been a patient at OFHC since 1992. I have always been satisfied with the care team. Because of the health care crisis in Maine and doctor shortage I have on 3 recent occasions been unable to get an appointment in a timely manner and have had to go to Urgent care and once to the Emergency Room at Thayer. I realize this s not the fault of OFHC but it is not an ideal situation. OFHC has followed up with me after these visits.
October 22, 2025
All courteous. Was able to schedule immediate appointment after I told receptionist my health issues.
October 14, 2025

He was very good and helpful
September 30, 2025
I've had Vinh Dam a few times now. He always knows my history and appears to remember from previous times. He lets me talk then is thorough with his questions as well his exam. He discussed my diagnosis and efficiently gave me instructions, sent prescription to pharmacy, and asked for any other questions to which he listened and answered all to my satisfaction. I highly recommend him and will personally use him whenever the need arises as he is well educated, articulate, thorough, kind, and personable. I cannot say enough good things about him.
September 29, 2025
The person I saw was very nice and seemed very concerned about my feelings and what was wrong with me. He did a good job.
September 26, 2025
Dr. Vin Dam knew our history and listened to our concerns. He is the embodiment of an empathetic, and caring medical professional. Very impressive.
September 25, 2025
the np that i saw was great he listen to what was bothering me and we are doing what we can to find out what is going on. the Np who i saw did make sure i got some testing done asap and he is great. I would go see him he listen to every detail i had to say and then we worked together and put some actions into play.
September 17, 2025
Vinh Dam was professional, courteous and kind. He understood my problem and listened carefully to what I had to say. Then, he examined me carefully. He discussed my findings, and made recommendations. I would recommend Vinh Dam to anyone who requires medical care!
September 17, 2025
First time meeting Vinh Dam and he was very thorough and attentive to my needs. He was interested in previous treatments. He checked my newest medications and adjusted treatment so not to have any adverse interactions I'm very happy with the care I received and a very short wait to be seen.
September 16, 2025
You could do much better if you actually practiced primary care, not sending people to express care or the emergency room when a doctor's visit is needed. It used to be within 48 hours of a hospitalization you saw a patient and it was well over a week. I think that's really poor. Thank you.
September 09, 2025
I love Oakland Family Medical but wish they had more physicians on staff. They always treat my family and myself extremely well. I have been a patient for over 15 years.
September 03, 2025
Well, this doesn't have anything to do with the office visit, but it's been two days now and I still haven't heard from the people who are supposed to have scheduled me for ultrasound. So I am still sitting by the phone waiting, kind of. Thank you, bye.
September 02, 2025
Grateful I was able to have an appointment to discuss my concerns
August 29, 2025
Very good
August 29, 2025
Vin Dam was extremely patient and thorough with my numerous questions during my visit post ER visit. I appreciated his caring bedside manner. He was intentional about explaining the what and why, along with his recommendation - then followed up with asking if the care plan sounded good to me.
August 26, 2025

August 15, 2025
Vinh is an exceptional PA.
August 14, 2025
Fastest appointment, visit and move towards resolution I have ever experienced. Vinh was compassionate and knowledgeable about my issue. I continue to recommend Oakland Family Medicine to all who are looking for a PCP.
August 04, 2025
There could have been more discussion about possible underlying causes of my medical issue rather than just furnishing a prescription.
July 29, 2025
Love everyone here there so kind and caring
July 29, 2025

July 24, 2025

July 22, 2025
I was able to get an OV same day for14:40 appt., even though I was calling at 13:00. Reception gathered all my info as I was a new patient. MA had my record that had been transferred to the system from the Northern Light office. We updated & confirmed my medications. Vinh Dam was thorough in the exam of my issue, as well explaining how we would address it & he sent the Rx to the pharmacy. A folllow-up appt. was made with my PCP. I felt genuine care and concern.
July 21, 2025
He paid attention. He listened to me. He understood what I was saying about my meds and refilled them immediately. I'm really glad that you guys have him.
July 21, 2025
Well obviously the place needs more doctors but that's a problem everywhere in Maine.
July 21, 2025
But this young man was, number one, very knowledgeable, listened, and explained the procedures, and I would recommend that young man to anybody. I enjoyed him immensely.
July 16, 2025
This was the first time l met with this doctor and l found him to be knowledgeable, helpful, professional and considerate. We discussed that l have been trying to get treatment for my hand for quite some time since my PCP put in the request.
July 11, 2025
This call was very insightful and learned a lot while getting my questions answered. Has not been the case with my PCP of whom never returns my calls, have had pain in my stomach for two years with no action by my PCP, and ended going to the ER two weeks ago with pain in the stomach only to be told after tests that I had Kidney Stones. I called for results from X-Rays last month and never received a call back from my PCP. Today's visit with Vieh took the time to explain my X-ray results and were posted to my portal that doesn't work, and I have told my Pcp that in the past.
July 07, 2025
I love Dr. Dam. He was so cheerful, pleasant and helpful.
July 03, 2025

Vintage was extremely patient and helpful
June 06, 2025
It was a great visit this time, I seen Vinh alot. Mostly because I can't get an appointment with my PC, who is my third, and I have yet to meet her, even though I have come to the office. Everyone is super nice and professional, I get your understaffed, but while not elderly, I do have some health issues that should be monitored. I'm not really sure what the PC role is supposed to be. I have at least 3 other specialists. It's confusing to me, the whole system.
June 05, 2025
I was taken right away and treated with care. Saw the Dr and was on my way.
June 02, 2025

The promptness of this appointment. No waiting time. I appreciate that.
May 28, 2025
The Staff was very kind.
May 27, 2025
Healthcare is extremely difficult to navigate right now. Oakland Family is right on top of things during a time when there are staffing shortages and increased patient volume due to the closing of Inland Hospital. The medical and secretarial staff should be very proud of themselves for their efficiency and professionalism.
May 22, 2025
PA Vinh Dam was so amazing. He was so awesome. Took the time to explain the procedures.
