I always like going to ME general ortho. Very knowlegable staff. Helpful
November 04, 2024
Pleased with the encounter
November 01, 2024
Once the appointment finally arrived, all went very well and I made another one! Dr. Loring was on time, very efficient, and did exactly what I hoped he would do. I will be back.
October 21, 2024
Whoa. Dr. Loring was wonderful. He explained everything to me because I was hard of hearing. And he sat down right in front of me and he talked to me and explained exactly what was what and how it was going to be and what treatment he wanted to do. And we discussed what it was that I was accepting of and what we were going to do for that.
October 18, 2024
No treatment was needed, but the doctor was ready if it becomes needed. That tells me he takes my case seriously.
October 17, 2024
I felt Dr. Loring was very knowledgeable, provided lots of solutions, was kind, listened, and was extremely helpful. I would highly suggest him. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Hi. I was very impressed with the care that I got from Dr. Loring's office. I think that they could use like a post-op paper of instructions. Other than that, they were awesome. Thank you. Bye.

October 04, 2024
Dr Loring is wonderful. He has been informative yet compassionate throughout the whole injury process. He takes the time to listen and address any and all concerns. I highly recommend him.
October 04, 2024
Dr. Loring is very gifted in his work. and the new lady who was just starting there paid attention to his work. Both the Dr. and medical assistant were great.
October 03, 2024
Dr. Loring was professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, and he took the time both to suggest solutions to my foot problems and to get to know me. Also, as a bonus, he's several decades younger than I am, so he won't be retiring any time soon! The rest of his team were also top-notch and caring.
October 03, 2024
Dr. Loring was just a lovely young man. He was very intelligent, very knowledgeable. He explained things very thoroughly to me, relieved a lot of fears that I had, and the other members of the team were very helpful and personable. I was very impressed with the orthopedic department and certainly hope that I can utilize them again. Thank you.

The doctor was a half hour late for the appointment. I missed time at work to make this appointment. I didn't feel like the doctor heard what I said.
September 30, 2024
Dr. Loring is very caring and he explains everything in detail. You do not feel rushed with him as with some doctors. I would definitely recommend him. The office staff is very friendly and caring.

Dr. Loring and his team were awsome and very caring.
September 20, 2024
I was very pleased with Dr. Loring. He takes time with his patients. He talks to them. He understands and he explains it to the patient. Would truly recommend him again and I just wish that we could get in and you had more staff available but I know that's the problem at the point and I will accept that and I will be put on a cancellation list if I need it. So anyway, thank you so much. Highly recommend him. He's a great person and the team was wonderful and gave me some ideas down the road. So again, thank you. Bye-bye.

Dr Loring was well informed about the reason for my visit, he obviously looked at my records, but asked for my input and a history of my plantar fasciitis, beginning with my first episode. He gave me his assessment of my condition and my options for treatment. I had an injection and we then discussed physical therapy for on going treatment, to which I agreed and a follow up with him later this year. His nurse assistant was very pleasant and thorough in putting my case outline in order.

Quality care
August 02, 2024
The doctor was fantastic but did not feel like the person that got me ready for my appointment cared about my comfort. I have severe back pain and had difficulty sitting in the chair. It was difficult putting my shoes on after because the chairs are high and my mobility is not good.
August 01, 2024
3 1/2 months was a long wait, but the care I received was excellent.
August 01, 2024
A big Thank you to Dr Loring. He is a first rate podiatrist.
August 01, 2024
Dr. Loring didn't listen when I tried to explain how I've been treating my ongoing condition and left the room before I had all of my questions answered. I had to go after him in the hallway. Every other employee I interacted with was professional, courteous, and understanding.
July 29, 2024
Dr. Loring was so kind, he listened to all of my concerns and I felt heard. Would highly recommend him to family and friends!

July 23, 2024
I had three problems I wanted Dr Loring to look at. After addressing the first two he said he had another patient to see and no more time for me. However, we did talk briefly about my third issue, but his comment made me feel like his other patients were more important than me.

Everyone (from check in to check out) was very professional and thorough in my care. It was extremely busy the day that I was there. I was surprised that I didn't have a long wait to see the doctor. Dr. Loring was wonderful in every way, he answered every question I had and took exceptionally good care of me during my appointment. My entire visit was run smoothly. I have no doubt that Dr. Loring and Maine General were the best choices I could have made for myself that day. I was very impressed and pleased with every aspect of my visit that day. Thank you all!

The care team was great. Dr Loring was terrific. A lot of questions were asked at the check-in that are usually asked by the nurse before the doctor comes in, that made it seem a little cumbersome because they asked again In the exam room. Other than that, it was a fine visit

I was early and got right into the room with the assistant to do my history. The doctor was early too. So the experience was very good
February 26, 2024
They were running way behind and would have been nice to let us patients know that. I waited 40 minutes after my appointment time to be called back and then had a long wait before getting x-rays. It just shows they care about our time when they let us know.

It took a while to get an appointment, very good care once it happened.
