I was seen very promptly for my appointment. Staff was very pleasant and considerate.
October 24, 2024
It would be better if you would allow providers to schedule the pre-op visit same day as the operation. Both times, the doctor took 5 seconds to examine my neck and say it looks fine. But I had to come back for the procedure, waste of my time.
October 15, 2024
I think that the appointment went very well. I really liked the provider. She was wonderful to work with. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and just was very personable and lovely. Thank you.

The np that took my biopsy was great

I was scheduled for dermatology to get my moles looked at, but then I got rescheduled into general surgery as apposed to dermatology, after waiting a few months for an appointment. I called and double checked to make sure that I could get my moles looked at in this department and was assured this department could do it, however, upon getting there, the doctor told me that they don't look at moles there and just referred me to another doctor. It's obviously not the doctors fault for me being rescheduled in her department, but I shouldn't have been scheduled in general surgery in the first place if they don't practice the work that was being requested. I had to wait three months, leave work early, drive an hour, and pay a co-pay just to be told "that's not my job" essentially. So that is kind of frustrating.

Nice Dr.
August 09, 2024
I was impressed with the amount of time it took from checking in to being seen. Julie Cummings was friendly, kind, and professional. She examined the area of concern and reviewed the options with me. Once we decided on the option, she explained the process. I am pleased with the results and would highly recommend Ms. Cummings and the Surgical staff.

I was very pleased with my care at the surgical center. I had a lot of issues to discuss and they were openly discussed and handled beautifully. I was very pleased and if I have to, I will go back there. Thank you.
August 06, 2024
They are a wonderful team. They have all been there for me throughout both of my surgeries. They take the time for their patients by answering questions, reassuring them, advising them. They are simply "The Best"!! Thank you Julie and the entire team in this office.

My experience was extremely positive. Everyone was very nice and they took care of me well. MaineGeneral Health cares about their patients. I always have a positive experience at every scheduled appointment. I couldn't be happier! The staff at MaineGeneral Health are professional, supportive, and most importantly, caring.

Everyone from this practice was fantastic. After 40+yrs of nursing myself, l have not found a practice in at least the last decade that compares to how well l have been cared for by this one.

June 18, 2024
Julie was very good and she let me know every step of everything she was doing, what I would anticipate to feel, which I really truly appreciate being let know exactly step by step what she was doing, how long things would take to come back for the results, and all that. So she was really great.
June 13, 2024
Both Julie and the MD have been wonderful. This surgery came after months of careful consideration and they were both available to answer all my questions and those my husband also had. They were calm, pleasant, and gave me the courage to see this through. Compassionate after-care made a world of difference as well. I can't thank them enough!
June 04, 2024

I love people that are real and treat us patients like human beings. This is what I find at Maine General
May 02, 2024
It would have been a little bit easier to find where plastic surgery was when I got to the hospital. It was a little hard to find. I accidentally found it, actually. It might be improved by getting your way around the hospital a little bit better. But overall, it was a good experience with the doctor. She was great.
April 30, 2024
The entire staff in this office is remarkable! Their knowledge and expertise make putting your health and well-being in their hands very comforting.

I greatly appreciated Dr Cummings friendliness and the way she took time to answered my questions ... I was very nervous going to this appointment, but her and the rest of her staff made my appointment so much easier for me. If I need future care I definitely will be asking to see Julie Cummings again.

Julie was wonderful. I definitely will see her again if needed.
February 13, 2024
The best thing about my experience at the hospital, aside from my outstanding surgical results was the culture of the office and in fact, the culture of the entire hospital. I felt everyone I bumped into wanted to be there, was happy to be there, was happy to serve their patients in any way they could. There was just a warmth there and a concern and a kindness. People took a great deal of time with me, which isn't always the case. I can't say enough good things. I'm a little unprepared right now and Julie in particular was just a joy. She spoke to my husband and me at length, very professional.
February 09, 2024
Very good
February 06, 2024
Very courteous, very efficient.

December 01, 2023
Yes, there's not much that you can improve. Both medical staff did very, very well. Very gentle. They care about the patient. They were right on, right on. I had an emergency. They gave me an appointment the next day. I'm very, very impressed with them. Thank you very much and have a very blessed day.

Julie was amazing during my appointment and addressed all of my concerns perfectly. She offered a range of solutions and made me feel comfortable with my decision. Julie's bedside manner and overall care was far above the standard of care. Julie's knowledge on my specific situation made me feel at ease and trust her expertise without hesitation. I recommend Julie to everyone I know!

The staff at the hospital treated me very well. They made me comfortable. I was nervous about the operation and the treatment that I got was very good. I would recommend Plastics to everyone and they are very good at what they do. And I actually approve of their bedside manner. Thank you.
