November 06, 2024
Appointment was for annual physical so scheduling was a year in advance. Not an immediate need. Really like my new Doctor. Very thorough and listens.
November 05, 2024
Dr Reatiraza was attentive, engaging and competent. I am very pleased to meet her and be her patient. I arrived around staff's lunch hour at 1:18 pm. Only one person was on the desk and busy on the phone for awhile so I sat and waited for someone to approach me. I didn't realize i was supposed to go to the counter to be checked in. After sitting awhile, when 2 more staff persons came in and I was seated, they thought I had been checked in. I, then approached the desk at 1:38 pm and was checked in. The MD thought I was late. I was not. I did not know the procedure of checking in. None the less, the staff were friendly and courteous. I'll know better the next time.

Dr. Reatiraza spent a lot of time with me and I was very comfortable with her and my medical care. I have been with this practice for over 30 years. I am very happy and appreciate all that is done for me.

Everyone is very nice & professional
October 22, 2024
Dr. Reatiraza was very nice. She was a bit hurried. I wanted a colonoscopy scheduled and I don't think that happened. But she was a very nice lady. The wait was extremely long, about two hours. And there was no one at the reception desk when we left at 4.58 p.m. So the whole experience was a little, it felt rushed and it felt, I didn't feel like, you know, it didn't build trust. I guess that's how I should put it. Wait times are horribly long. Even to get an appointment, we waited 10 months. And so waiting in the waiting room for as long as we did. When we had two appointments scheduled, it was my husband and I, and they ended up.
October 22, 2024
The staff out front had left already when my appointment was finished at 4:55 pm. I was unable to check out
October 18, 2024

My new PCP is EXCELLENT! She is thorough and patient. I feel extremely well cared for.
October 10, 2024
Dr Reatiraza is very thorough in making sure my over all health is taken care of. Where I seem to see a very rush intake from the medical assistants. This is the second time that the medical assistants from Maine General system seemed rushed to take the preliminary vitals. I still wouldn't change to go somewhere else, but changes could be made with the medical assistants.
October 10, 2024
Dr. Reatiraza is thorough and thoughtful; listens well and has a wonderful bedside manner.
October 09, 2024
I had labs done at outside facility and told MA about it before visit, would have been nice if she obtained them so my Dr would have had them to review. Process for getting stuff done outside of MG into our charts seems to be challenging, as my husband went thru this trying to get his ultrasound results. Other than that office is great and Dr Reatiraza is amazing!

I really like my dr. She spent quality time with me. She is worth the wait. I would only say the wait time was over a half hour. It would be helpful if someone let me know while I waited in the reception room. Fortunately I didn't have to be back to work.

She exceeded expectations when she personally called me to follow up on the results of my EKG! I have complete confidence in her ability to provide for my medical care. Overall my experience at Oakland Family Practice was excellent. The staff were professional, helpful and friendly as was the staff at Thayer Hospital where I went for blood work, EKG and chest exray.

I just wanted to say that Dr. Reatiraza was an excellent provider and I hope you find more MDs like her to join the practice. I feel a real, there's a real need for primary care providers that are medical doctors and not just nurse practitioners or PAs. Thanks.

March 05, 2024
I just wish I would not be told to go to Express Care when i need to see a doctor in my primary care office because they can't get me in there. Express Care is good but should not have to be used by those who have a doctor at a practice.
February 28, 2024
Refreshing change of PCP for this visit from the doctors I have had in the past at this practice. Dr Reatiraza was exceptional.
