As usual, the orthopedic department is a class act, and the doctor that I saw yesterday was just part of that great team. I've been there before, and every opportunity I'm there, they take good care of you, and they do, and she was wonderful yesterday. She certainly is an asset to the department.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Sanko. I feel very at ease with her and her associates that worked with her were all very pleasant to me. And all went well and I won't hesitate to keep going. And I will definitely, if I have to, let my friends know if they ever need to have a doctor, an orthopedic or whatever, in that area.

December 06, 2023
My last two appointments at this practice have gone perfectly. Greeted by check-in staff promptly. Waited no more than five minutes to be taken to a room. Provider came in promptly and paid attention to me. Did not seem to be in a rush to get out of the room. She was very thorough and knowledgeable. I have great confidence in a successful upcoming surgery because of the way I have been treated at Maine General and this practice. The MA also did a fabulous job telling what to expect for pre-op and assured me that she would have everything organized . This practice that understands and demonstrates MaineGenerals mission. They need to be recognized.

It's hard to wait 2-5 months for an appointment when you're in pain and limited in movement.
