Medication called in to CVS wasn't able to be filled because the medication didn't coordinate with the instructions. Nobody returned the call to the pharmacy. I let it go because they were able to get her an urology appointment in 3 days and decided to just let the urologist order her an antibiotic.

Dr. Tooth was very professional and socially wonderful and for the experience I had to go through, he was a very qualified physician to do that. And I also have to tell you, I had no blood in my urine after the testing, first day or two, no blood at all, and none since, so no blood at all, so that's it.

I'm very grateful for all the great care from any member of the staff. The one that greets me, the nurse practitioners, Dr. Tooth, they've all been kind and thoughtful.

My first visit was Dr tooth was a good one. He was caring, he asked about my medical condition and concerns. We discussed my medication and past history. The staff and practitioners were great. The office was neat and clean, I was totally satisfied.
October 03, 2024
Everyone I encountered had great personalities and were centered on the care of the patient.
October 02, 2024

Perfect office visit !
September 05, 2024
Dr. Tooth was very helpful. He was knowledgeable about my treatment at the emergency room, had a good sense of my health history, and very, I think, up to date in recommending a process for me as I go forward. I appreciate his style, and I would go back to him again definitely. Thank you.
September 05, 2024
Everyone was professional and great. Some of the standard sign-in things like meds and allergies, etc. were already in the computer as I am a current patient at MaineGeneral, yet I needed to fill them all out again. Going through that exercise seems useless. . .perhaps the patient could be given a printout of info to check for accuracy? Also asking everyone for a urine sample before seeing the doctor and before he decides that one is needed seems backward to me. Dr. Tooth was very good. Glad I went there!
September 05, 2024
The staff at Urology are all wonderful caring and professional people. This is a very busy office with many demands. You are providing verry good care. Keep up the excellent work!
August 28, 2024
My first visit, he couldn't, Dr. Tooth couldn't administer the drug because it was the wrong date and the insurance company would not pay. So I had to reschedule to come in again, which happened actually the first time six months ago. So it did make things a bit hectic and have to travel 40 miles both ways. This tells me they didn't quite know the full extent of the dates of the drug to be taken. Anyway, overall, it was a very good visit and Dr. Tooth is extremely kind and well-versed. Thank you very much.
August 28, 2024
All the medical personnel that talked to me was excellent. They were informative and explained what was going to happen so there would be less stress during the procedure. Dr. Tooth was very professional and efficient. He continued to reassure me during the procedure. A very good experience.

August 21, 2024
Dr. Tooth, was very professional and made me feel as comfortable as you can. I was relieved after worrying for two weeks with words from a previous visit that they would be looking for bladder cancer. Being an older woman and there by myself, it was a lot to hear alone.
August 21, 2024
Very warm and welcoming. Got all questions answered. Not sure why the Dr. had very little access to my medical history. Would have made the meeting easier for the Dr. and myself. I look forward to our next meeting.

The staff was very nice and helpful, very kind and caring. They went out of their way to make sure I knew where to go and was helped because I had to catch a ride with KVCAB. They took the time to make sure that I knew my way around the first time because they knew it was my first time in. That's really all I have to say. I really appreciated them for that, especially the front desk staff. Thank you.

April 22, 2024
You guys already do it pretty well, but just have them or whomever speak with TOGIS so the veterans can get more resources that they need and talk with the VA and have the VA talk with the Maine General and stuff like that. But you guys do it already. Thank you very much.

Have used this practice for many years and have found it to be as I would expect.
March 22, 2024
Not only was I seen at my appointed time,I was also in and back out in less than a 1/2 hour, which is unheard of in most other medical facilities.
March 08, 2024
I do not really believe Maine General cares about much more than growing their kingdom. Maine General Urology is good and Dr. Tooth is the reason for that. The questions in your survey are leading!
March 08, 2024
Thank you for everything.

Yes, I think the doctor is very capable. Sometimes in the past I wish he gave a little more information, either verbally or written information that I could take home and study myself and get a little more knowledge about my condition.
