This visit was flawless. Directions given to find the MRI Dept were accurate. Once there we were greeted by happy employees. I actually lost sleep the night before thinking we'd never find our way to the next appt for a CT Scan. No worries there; we were shown the way. It was pouring when we left and was greeted by a lovely lady in the parking lot holding an umbrella to take us to our truck - what a LOVE she was. Never got her name (wish we had) but gave her a hug anyway. KUDOS to you folks! Tom & Deb

After my husband got prepped for the surgery, we waited 2 hrs n when he was ready to just leave they told him he was next, then a woman came in from intake to talk to people she knew and started to roll him out for his surgery, I said they told us he's next n she said go talk to a nurse n she hightailed it out of there rolling him out with her, HIPPA rules aren't followed, I heard all of them talking to patients and saying what they are taking for meds, procedures they were having done ect. Hands down worst hospital ever

This place.what a joke for emergencies I had a Dr insulting myself an wife when I was injured they told me I was fine when I found out from mid coast hospital I needed Blood transfusions from bleeding internally. If I had waited a Few hours longer before going to a hospital with compassion an general concern to look into the reason I was their instead of thinking I was Drug seeking with no real medical emergency I would not have been alive to share with you!

My sister went here yesterday because of certain symptoms. Not only was it the fastest service of her life, she was treated awfully. The doctor told her she shouldn't have been there unless she was deathly ill. The doctors name was Julie Pelletier. The service here is horrible and I know COVID is a huge issue but, come on. Be nice!

Absolutely the worst place. The person was the there for psychiatric help and receive absolutely no help at all! She was there for two nights then they said we are releasing her! They did NOTHING! Said they were going to have a plan for her release and we'll that DIDN'T happen either. Not that that would help because they again, Did NOTHING! Left this all for us to have to deal with!
