Hello, I have never met a nicer doctor or staff in my life. They felt me very, they let me feel very comfortable and I wasn't at all apprehensive. And I'm just so glad that I went. Thank you.

Dr. Wexler's and his staff made my life better by ten fold Very satisfied with the two hip replacements
September 24, 2024
I had to wait over a half an hour in the waiting room. Very understandable since he was backed up with appointments.
September 24, 2024
the only thing this time was the 50 minutes of wait time. I heard one of the staff say double booked . 10 to 15 minutes wait time is ok , but 50 minutes way to much . I would of liked to have had a call that said running behind, please arrive 30 minutes later.

August 15, 2024
Yeah, I got taken very quickly, very efficiently when Dr. Wexler came in. Supposedly he was running late, but he was really quick and what not. Very friendly, got things, very honest. I found it refreshing. He listened to me about my headaches and how that's impacted pain and how that probably impacted my kind of monitoring my arthritis in my knee. And anyway, it was just really nice to meet him. Just it was a very pleasant experience and I was in and out of there in like 15 minutes, and felt very satisfied. So anyway, it was a good visit. I appreciate you asking. Thank you.

July 11, 2024
This was a VA referral and there was a lot of information that hadn't been shared or wasn't up-to-date for the MGMC team's consideration going in to the appointment. This was supposed to be for specific treatment but when I arrived, there were several questions about what had/hadn't been authorized and what treatment I could receive. My care was completed but slightly delayed due to the bureaucratic shortfall.
July 09, 2024
Dr Wexler and his team, all the nurses and staff at Same Day Surgery, Homecare PT, and the Orthopedic office gave me the best care and guidance throughout my total hip replacement. I can't say enough of my gratitude and appreciation for their exceptional care and professionalism. They are all the best and this experience was nothing short of spectacular!! Thank you all!

February 29, 2024
Bravo!
February 27, 2024
The facility should have some newspapers or TV in there for patients to watch because he was running an hour behind and we just had to sit there and wait and stare at the wall which I think could be improved. And other than that, I don't really have any other comments really. So...
February 27, 2024
Dr. Wexler answered my litany of questions completely, and with the detail I required.

Dr Wexler has performed several surgeries for me and I have been extremely satisfied every time. It started when he was at Millinocket Regional Hospital then at a Lewiston hospital and two with his Maine General team. His expertise has made my life better on many levels. I will definitely tell family and friends to make the trip, it will be worth it. The facility is state of the art and by far better than any hospital that I've used through my life, totaling 16 major surgeries and all of the staff were very professional and kind. Thanks for having me!
