When I tried to make the appt last month, I ws told I was not a patient there and would have to get my pcp to request the appt with ortho. Then wait for another to accept and call to schedule but in truth I was already an established patient, as I told that first person. Which caused a delay in getting my appt.

I feel extremely confident that I am in the best and most capable hands I could be for my upcoming knee surgery.
September 24, 2024
Oscar Falconer answered all my questions and gave me my my options for my care. On the other hand, the medical assistant looked frazzled on the intake and on the discharged from the appointment.
September 19, 2024
It isn't pleasant waiting 3 months to get a shot in the knee There is a lot of pain walking around 3 months for a 10 minute shot that I had X-rays for and paid for then 3 months later having it all over.......

The only complaint is that I had to wait 45 minutes. My appointment was at 10:15 and I was not seen until 11:00

August 15, 2024
I didn't have to wait long for my appointment!
August 01, 2024
Everybody was good except that I had to wait five months to get an appointment and I had a broken leg. So that's pretty upsetting. But that's the end of my comments. Thank you.
July 16, 2024
I needed an MRI and not an X-ray. That would have shown the tendon damage in my foot. Anyway, that was not done. Thank you.
July 16, 2024
Yes, I have been very, very pleased with the service I have gotten at Maine Orthopedics and I would recommend you to anyone, especially my team. Thank you.

June 30, 2024
All staff were positive and respectful of my concerns

Dr was more focused on my other condition than what I went in for.
June 27, 2024
Great service.
June 26, 2024
The doctor was very informative and he told me everything he was going to do. He put an injection in my left knee. Didn't hurt at all. He numbed it very well. And I'm very pleased and thank you.
June 26, 2024
Amazing people! They really care about their patients. Thank you!
June 25, 2024

Everyone was very polite and very courteous.
June 18, 2024
I called in advance to verify the clinic was open before driving in from another town. They confirmed the hours and said I could go in, when I got there I was turned away because they said it was too busy. Extremely frustrating to have poor communication across departments and poorly managed patient expectations
June 06, 2024
I thought Oscar was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job.
June 06, 2024
Oscar Falconer was knowledgeable and informative. I'm extremely appreciative of his advice and care.
May 30, 2024
I love that this facility has calming music and no fragrance in soaps.
May 28, 2024
My experience was very good.
May 24, 2024
My knee surgery went very well. I'm very happy with the care that I received from his staff and the hospital staff and the nurses. My room was impeccable with a view!
May 16, 2024
I was pretty emotional the day I saw Dr. Falconer. I appreciated his gentleness and patience while I took moments to compose myself. I especially appreciated that he seemed to know my history enough that I didn't need to rehash my story for the Millionth time, and for me That was pretty important. The MA was also kind and respectfully asked if I was okay when she saw I had been upset. Everyone in front of the office was polite regardless if I was going to the lab, urgent care, or orthopedics.
May 14, 2024
I requested Oscar Falconer because of the way he treated me when I had my hip replacement in the past.
May 14, 2024
The appointment went very well, but it just took a long, long time to actually get an appointment.
May 12, 2024
The nurse and receptionist were great! The PA did not explain what do if not better and I am still not better. He proscribed a 7 day antibiotic rather than a 5 day and I had already been suffering for 8 days when I went in. I also had to ask for a Dr note to be excused from work to heal for 2 days but he only gave me one day and seemed put out about it. PA could have been more thorough.
May 09, 2024
I think it's a shame when you have to wait months for an appointment when you're suffering. But Oscar gave me a cortisone shot in my knee, and I've had the pain in my knee for quite a while, and it's really working well. So I was very pleased about that, although I did not see Oscar long enough to really have too much of a chat with him. It was the first time I had met the doctor. I mean, I seem to be doing pretty well with my knee right now with the cortisone, and he said if I need any more, I can get three in a year, and all I have to do is go up and say that I would like a cortisone shot. I hope that's true. But the facility itself is fine. It's just that everything is so slow. When you call, you have to wait hours almost for them to get to you on the telephone. And when you finally get them on the phone, they're just so pleasant, but it's just the waiting that's annoying.
May 09, 2024
Oscar was kind, explained everything, let me talk, listened, explained options. Will see him in a month and feeling better already. His excellent.
May 07, 2024
Waste of money to get XRays on knee when it's useless. Knew I needed an MRI and did nothing about the pain I went in for. Very frustrating went through the same thing with my shoulders and if it's not surgery they can't help you. Feel I'm wasting my time and money with the Orthopedic division of Maine General
April 30, 2024
It took quite a while to get an appointment but when I got to the appointment they were very fast and efficient
April 21, 2024
The nurse was great and thorough. The doctor listened. He was understanding, but he handed me a packet and really didn't give a lot of information or go over instructions prior to my leaving. I've had previous positive visits, so I would recommend express care to other people.
April 21, 2024
Reception was very nice, as was the gal who took my vitals, and the doctor provided insight as to the two issues I had. I am way better now, back to normal. Thank you!
April 17, 2024
It just takes way too long to get an appointment. I will say everyone from start to finish was very pleasant.
April 16, 2024
I am always pleased with the care that I receive and everyone treats you like you were a family member! Thank you!
April 11, 2024
Shout out to the entire crew, they were extremely helpful in The whole journey through my total hip replacement I would definitely recommend their care to anyone
April 09, 2024
All great.

Thank you
March 26, 2024
This is the first time I've seen Mr Falconer. I was not impressed. Plus, my appointment was changed without my knowledge.
March 26, 2024
They take your feelings in. I trust them
March 24, 2024
Thank you!!
March 22, 2024
Oscar is very personable. My wife and I had a very good discussion with Oscar concerning the knee replacement procedure.
March 14, 2024
Had stand while checking in and out. It is painful for me to stand
March 12, 2024
I found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful and answered all my questions and concerns without making me feel rushed or that my concerns weren't important. They made me feel relaxed and put my mind at ease regarding my surgery.
March 08, 2024
Oscar is a good doctor who knows his stuff takes the time to explain well & gives you time to ask questions. His medical assistant went over & above, much appreciated.
March 05, 2024
The staff is very courteous, polite, and helpful. Dr. Oscar, he is very thorough. He explains everything. He's a good doctor. And yes, I would recommend him to my family and my friends. Thank you.
March 05, 2024
I felt somewhat rushed as if I was not a priority.
February 29, 2024
It's so much easier to go here. Gardner, family medicine./express care is so convenient for me and there's very seldom much of a wait time. The girls at the front desk are awesome. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable x-ray ladies lab. Ladies are great. I'm very grateful this place is here. Much easier for me to get there instead of Augusta.
February 27, 2024
Doctor was amazing
February 16, 2024
Check-in is always helpful, knowledgeable and very pleasant each and every time I check in at the office. Oscar was on top of my surgical information. Maine General has been the best! My new knee is spectacular and it quick order since my surgery. So pleased that I found this team!
February 06, 2024
Everyone has been nothing but professional and always asks if I have any questions. Staff at the desk are exceptionally helpful.
February 06, 2024
I was told that I could do my pre surgery ekg at the Gardiner facility but they do not. When I called the office after my visit to clarify how to get it at the hospital, it took awhile for someone to get back to me.
February 02, 2024
Everyone was helpful and attentive throughout the appointment.
January 09, 2024
From the nurse to the X-ray team to the PA, Oscar Falconer, I couldn't have been more happy. They were knowledgeable, and professional, and yet friendly and welcoming.
