Yes, they were very helpful. I didn't have to wait for a very long period of time and everybody was excellent, excellent. That's all I have to say. Thank you. Bye.

Good visit. I like my Doctor.

Matthew was a great listener, he also explained his reasons for the treatment I received. I was very impressed with the nurse who roomed me and took vitals. She was very efficient and caring. I was so happy I went, and was surprised by the short wait. Great team.

Every one was very friendly & helpful

If there is an extended wait and registration knows about it, especially, maybe having an estimated wait time would be good, whether it's about 20 minutes, over 20 minutes, etc.
September 23, 2024
The whole staff was very professional. Other than the long wait, which was due to being busy, and not to their faults, I was very satisfied with diagnosis and help I received! I would recommend others to go there if asked! Thanks

Matt, the respiratory therapist was wonderful and I was feeling much better in just a couple of days! Thank you so much!
September 06, 2024
Mr. Colaluca was great. Listened to my concerns and at this point, I believe we are on track for full recovery. Thank-you very much! Things are going great.
September 02, 2024
The entire staff was fantastic! Doctor Colaluca was so patient with me! Very professional and knowledgeable! One of the best experiences I've had!
August 24, 2024
We were seen promptly and treated with care and patience. The prescription was called in immediately and we were on our way.
August 21, 2024
Matt was very caring and understanding and took the time to explain what was going on and what I should do next.
August 19, 2024
When I came in, I was clearly, visibly not feeling well. And neither was my son. And Matt was able to, even though my lungs didn't sound bad at the time, was able to see there's something going on, had us get x-rays on our chest, and that's how we were able to determine we had pneumonia. Once we could get the proper medication, we began getting better. If he didn't think to do that, then we could have been sitting there for another few days getting worse and worse, and then all of a sudden getting admitted to the hospital or something. So I do appreciate that and the time he put into making sure each one of us was heard with our symptoms. Thanks. Take care.

From the lady who checked me in, to each of the medical team, I could not have wished for a better experience. An extremely comfortable visit.
August 14, 2024
The check-in staff was very concerned about not having anybody waiting any longer than absolutely necessary. They moved people right along and got people in. Matthew recognized me from a year ago and was very friendly, professional, and I would recommend him to anybody going in.
August 07, 2024
Very professional group at this facility.
July 23, 2024

July 17, 2024
This is the second time I go to Express Care. Everyone is so solicitous and courteous . Treated me with respect . They listened to my experience of many years with my illness and responded to my need immediately. You provide a wonderful service and a needed one, espedially when we cannot get immediate help from our doctors. Thanks
July 03, 2024
Matt was a great listener and his diagnosis was right on! I thought it was something different but listened to his diagnosis, which was confirmed in the following days. The Express care in Gardiner has saved me so much time and pain!
July 03, 2024
Mat, the diagnostic nurse was right on the money diagnosing my foot pain. He said it would clear up in a few days and it has. Thank you , Mat.

June 09, 2024
I was in for care recently and the service was great. From the moment I got there, from the nurse and to the doctor, it was very professional and it was just awesome. So those guys did a very good job. Thank you. Bye.
June 03, 2024
I did not have a long wait in the waiting room or to see a doctor. I was in and out fairly quick.
May 30, 2024
It was absolutely wonderful service. They were thoughtful. They listened to what I said. They looked at the situation and how it could be fixed, the place that they were treating me. It was a big scar that had long ago healed. They came up with a powder that has absolutely been miraculous. I tried other things before that didn't work as well, and the powder has been just taking away the redness and the pain. I think he did an absolutely wonderful job as everyone there does do. I really appreciate being able to go there. Thank you.
May 30, 2024

Very helpful sent me to the Emergency Room
April 24, 2024
Yes, could you get in touch with a dermatologist for me? I still haven't heard from him. My arm is hurting me. There's a piece that has to be cut out of my arm. So, I haven't heard from a dermatologist since, it's been quite a while since I've been. If you could get him to get in touch with a dermatologist and get me in there because it's really hurting. Thank you very much.
April 24, 2024
Very nice and professional people at every spot. Everyone that I dealt with. Thank you.

March 29, 2024
Service was very timely.
March 26, 2024
Very professional, listened to me!!
March 26, 2024
Staff were very friendly and helpful, however very concerned that there is no doctor on staff. Seems as though a MD or DO would have expertise that a nurse or PA might miss. Also, wondering why it costs so much if I'm not paying to see a doctor.
March 11, 2024
Good check in and prompt attention, nurse was friendly & competent. However the PA lacked expertise, competent knowledge & appropriate options for diagnosis & care, which is not the first time this has happened at that urgent care. It is frustrating & a waste of my time and I will not recommend to others!
March 05, 2024
Staff were very nice and helpful.

February 09, 2024
The registration staff was most helpful in helping me find a primary care provider that very afternoon. I had been trying to find one on my on my own for several months and kept getting discouraged and giving up.
February 04, 2024
Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.
February 03, 2024
Felt better after treatment.
January 26, 2024

Quick, professional
January 01, 2024
A few days after my visit a close relative who is temporarily staying with us needed to visit express care. We of course brought her right to the Gardiner location. She was very pleased!!
December 27, 2023
Matt went above and beyond .... When computer was down and wouldn't print out after visit summary and instructions, he figured out a way to give me written instructions to take with me .He empathized and considered my anxiety and forgetfulness. Highly recommend this PA!
December 27, 2023
The nurse I worked with was amazing and everyone at the Gardiner urgent care was great. However, I wouldn't have needed to go there is the ENT department at MaineGeneral Augusta had known the Gardiner department couldn't deal with fixing nose bleeds (cauterizing of blood vessels). However the Augusta department sent me here and it now feels like they sent me to Gardiner just so they wouldn't need to deal with me.
December 26, 2023
I'd heard from friends about the Gardiner express care. All favorable. I decided to try it out. They were great. From entering the facility to leaving. Check in was a breeze. Nurse and PA were great as well. Matt talked to me at length and did a superb job checking me physically. Thank you
December 24, 2023
I am very satisfied!
