November 11, 2024
I was put on a schedule for Eligard, a hormone supressant which has a lot of potential serious side effects which I voiced to the doctor and nurses. Eligard seems to be the go to hormone treatment for advanced prostate cancer. I really felt that because it is a "go to" treatment not much concern was given to the side effects.

I was amazed at how quick I got in to see someone. Thank-you

Cheryl was very helpful with everything that she said with me and had to do with me and her care I certainly did appreciate and she will be giving me an appointment for additional treatment and will let me know when. Okay, thanks.

Was surprised that no prostate exam was done since the most likely culprit of my issue is an enlarged prostate
October 25, 2024
The appointment met all expectations, thank you.

I could not ask for better expertise and care from Cheryl Smith. She always answers any questions I have about my diagnosis. I would highly recommend MaineGeneral Urology!.
October 23, 2024
Everyone and treatment was satisfactory.

I was transferring from another facility which didn't transfer my diagnostic testing. Cheryl did the best she could with the information provided from my previous provider and asked for all records to be transferred
October 10, 2024
I just wanted to say that Cheryl Smith was absolutely wonderful, very friendly, very personable. She asked all the right questions, seemed to be very involved in my care, and I would definitely go back to her.

September 26, 2024
My appointment was for a new patient visit, meet and greet if you will. I enjoyed getting to know the provider better, who answered questions about my overall health, specifically urological, and then medical history. We scheduled a follow up appointment to monitor history of bilateral kidney stones.
September 20, 2024
Really excellent care.
September 19, 2024
Maine General Urology has consistently been very attentive to my needs.
September 16, 2024
From the moment I walked in the office to scheduling a follow up appointment I thought everyone was kind and professional. I would recommend Cheryl Smith to anyone who ask. She was a good listener and offered many suggestions regarding my health. I felt well cared for and was not rushed at all.

NP Smitm who saw myself and my wife could not have been better. We found her to be knowledgeable, professional, and extremely supportive. Her expertise is obvious. Maine General is very lucky to have such a person on staff. I was apprehensive about this initial visit. She put me at ease and gave me confidence that my issue will be satisfactorily resolved.
September 05, 2024
Professional, polite and friendly staff from the receptionist to the nurse to the PA with whom I had the appointment.
September 04, 2024
As pleasant as any trip to a urologist could be lol. Dr. Smith did a great job listening and addressing my concerns. Only negative complaint I have is one that is totally out of everyone's control which is no male wants anything stuck up there so the whole up coming scope thing got a guy a little rattled. But, hey like I said beyond Dr. Smiths control kinda of a don't shoot the messenger type of mentality one might say. All and all A++++ to Dr. Smith and all staff at 442 civic center drive.
August 23, 2024
Excellent service.

July 26, 2024
The only additional thing I would like to add is that it would have been nice to have my surgery date secured before leaving the appointment so that I could do my future planning for work schedules and coordinating rides.

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I will be seeing them for followup as needed.

Cheryl does a great job, is both very through, professional. I always leave feeling (after a visit with her ) that she listened to what I had to say, but also gave me good feedback. Thank you

My experience was wonderful and it always is! I always feel welcome and feel that my care team is genuinely supportive, caring, and welcoming to me! Other businesses could benefit from observing how well your staff conducts business on any given day of the week! Thank you for all that you do! It's appreciated!

The time I spent waiting for both of my appointments here was crazy. I had to take time off work due to limited appointment hours so the wait was not appreciated. My appointment was 9:15. I got in and gave a sample one time then sat in the waiting room. After going back for the appointment 15 minutes late the nurses told me they would go ahead and run the sample. My provider didn't enter the room until 9:50. Then the appointment took all of 5 minutes. My previous appointment I waited in the waiting room for an hour. I also was told I couldn't schedule anything for the next months ahead of time. My schedule makes this challenging since the available appointment times are all during my work hours. The short notice is frustrating. I'd like to be able to schedule for the next month to have time to get off work appropriately.
May 16, 2024
I was very pleased with the visit that I made. Everything was professional. Everything was totally defined by the standards of health care and urology. I felt comfortable every moment that I was there. Everything was good. Everything was professional. Everything, I can't think of one bad thing that happened that I would disagree with. It was totally wonderful. Thank you.
May 15, 2024
Very nice staff

Cheryl is amazing!!! I'm so grateful for her care!
May 01, 2024
I did really well at setting up my appointment, but I'm still waiting for me in general to call, I guess, for an x-ray or something, if it's needed. I mean, I don't know. Yeah.
April 26, 2024
Yes, I thought Dr. Smith was professional, friendly, and very helpful. I feel confident in her ability to oversee my health care. Appreciate it. Have a good day.
April 08, 2024
I honestly believe that the office did a great job every time I called getting the appointment and Cheryl was fantastic, went above and beyond doing research, talking to insurance companies and keeping me informed on what the status was and what scans I needed to take. Absolutely would recommend again. Thank you very much.
March 27, 2024
Very knowledgeable provider and great communication!
March 20, 2024
I was very happy with the receptionists, the receptionists' thoroughness and interest in writing the right thing about my reason for being there, and I was very happy with the way I was received when I came into the office.
March 18, 2024
A much better experience scheduling compared to Northern Light. Staff was very courteous and got me right back in for a monthly followup. Highly Recommend Maine General!
March 15, 2024
IT went well. But I do need meds called in at the pharmacy.
March 14, 2024
My experience was very good. The receptionist and the young woman I saw before Cheryl were both very helpful and very professional. And Cheryl was, as usual, very excellent. And I felt very comfortable knowing that I was heard. And I guess that's it.

Front department is top of the line, they're very friendly, they make good appointments, and they know what they're supposed to do with you. When you leave your appointment, you feel very good about yourself, and they follow through with what they're going to do. Your department is very, very good.

I loved Cheryl Smith. She was comfortable to talk too did not try to rush app. And listen to what i hab to say. Explained the matter that i could understand als
November 29, 2023
This practice operates from chaos. Everything is rush, rush, rush. The nurse was 40 minutes late getting to see me. She introduced herself and told me we'd need to make this quick as she was already running late. They rush people from room to room. There is no empathy!!
