Central Maine Healthcare Reviews ( 134 )

  1. The registration and nurses are not kind. They took my mom back to be treated and would not let me go back to be with her. Later they took a man back to treat him in the hallway as well and they let his wife go back with him so their rules aren’t consistent.

  2. This place is stellar if you are pregnant and only need obgyn assistance. I was 7 months pregnant and woke up coughing and aspirating due to GERD. I couldn’t breathe and panicked. My fiance called 911 and we told them I was 7 months …

  3. I am visiting Maine from Arizona and had to go to the ER at this hospital due to issues with my blood pressure. Dr. Bevan and the 4th year resident were very knowledgeable and helpful. The nurses couldn’t have been kinder to me. I was …

  4. Unfortunately I can’t rate 0. The ER staff is super sensitive, non communicative, and can’t work as a team. They promised that sweetser (crisis) would there any second, however it took another hour. The doc wasn’t exactly sympathetic and …

  5. This place does not care if your in pain. They only care about filling pockets and their ego. Can’t even believe people come here at all . I would give no stars if i could.

  6. Doctors who stigmatize Lewistonites as drug seeking, antiquated and half-done exams, doctors who do not even read reports from other doctors within their own network…. …

  7. Good service, but when i went to checkout in the LA Ear deprtment the lady at the right coubter was yelling at a poor old man! Unbelievable! I will not release the name of the counter lady, but this is terrible.

  8. I’m rateing this a 1 star cause it took me about just to ask to speak to my primary care to be told she’s not in the office and they can’t even pass along a message if find the wait time inferiorating then I had to turn around and call a …

  9. I was very confused today when i took my friend who is handicapped to an appt and had to park across the street because all of the handicap parking was being used for the CMMC pharmacy. I would think those individuals would park across street.

  10. Very terrible in attending to patients, they don’t care because is not there kids or family members, it takes forever to get back to after you are being admitted into hospital.

  11. Only communication I had with endoscopy was the voicmails I could have left on the answering machine. After my girlfriends surgery I was hoping for a phone call update while I waiting for an hour. They went 15 minutes without answering calls.

  12. Aweful, just trying to find info on my husband. I am scared and worried. Not even a call after I called. Also rude! Finally after 3 days a phone call to tell me they still don’t know anything .

  13. They hung up the phone in the emergency care department assuming I needed medical advice. I just needed to be pointed in the right direction. Instead of listening the lady hung up.

  14. The care my dad has been given is wonderful ! Before and after his hip surgery. They have taken care of my family. We were on vacation in Maine when dad broke his hip. I feel confidence in their network, as we are far away in South Central Pennsylvania.

  15. My sister recently spent several days at CMMC. As a special needs individual she needs different types of attention than most patients. I commend the nurses on M1 for the care and attention they gave her before and after her surgery. The doctors were also very communicative which I deeply appreciated.

  16. politics make the healthcare below par. the CEO was let go from Colorado before taking this position and the administration bleeds good leaders. high mid-management and staff turnover. I am a former director with many years in healthcare …

  17. They can’t even bother to make a phone call to talk to us about billing. They were always having issues with taking our payments – computers not working etc…They even tried to make me pay a bill I had already paid and had a receipt for! …

  18. Sorry 😐 But this Hospital IS NOT 🚫 a Grade A facility 😔 NOT 🚫 At all When You MISDIAGNOSED a 7year old With Lung disease already, Then 2 weeks Later Call the Parents “Oh by the Way You’re Daught has the Beginning of “PNEUMONIA” …

  19. Have had to deal with a heart attack, several MIs, a case of gout, and have always had excellent attention from the front end staff, the triage nurses, and the doctors. Whenever I have had to be admitted, and they know me well enough to …

  20. Have had several procedures done at CMMC do to just finding out I have cancer , They have such a great team Dr, Rausch and team are excellent ,radiology nurse Tina who took care of me getting a port placement was such a nice lady ,she said …

  21. I’m so sick & tired of the entitled staff at cmmc…. they’re going to kill or cause a major accident one of these days… I was almost hit head on today by one of the staff (woman in red Subaru 5:41 am 😡)oh btw the other car & I passed …

  22. Worst hospital ever. Everytime I go here I’m always talked to with an attitude from the women that work here and they always do the bare minimum. They made me walk home with a twisted ankle. At least St. Mary’s called me a cab.

  23. I have been going to my doctor’s at CMMC for over 30 years … They discovered and cured my breast cancer. I can’t imagine being as confident and secure as I am with CMMC

  24. Just had a cardiac procedure and have to share. This place is full of Angels. Everyone is so caring and professional and I feel like I am so special. God bless everyone here at CMMC

  25. This hospital, it’s nursing staff and Doctors are leave much to be desired. Rude, inconsiderate come toind for the Doctors that cared for my Mom. They missed so much that was wrong with her. The home health aid caught a lot of the issues here at home. Don’t like this place at all.

  26. I had the worst experience. Nurses were rude
    I sat for 5 hrs before actually bring helped with my pain due to a ripped meniscus. All they seemed to dare about was racking my bill up

  27. My husband had a medical appointment which went very well and was very informative. We have future appointments which we know will help his health improve immensely. We left knowing he is in good hands.

  28. My husband loves Central Maine Pulmonary and Sleep! The staff is very friendly and his provider, Jerri Stone, is down to earth. She takes the time to listen to his concerns and answers any questions he has. David would recommend anyone with sleep issues to give their office a call.

  29. Every time my wife, father, and mother have gone there they have always been horrible. From nurses that can’t even put an IV in correctly, to Dr’s arguing with them about their condition. In one instance my wife had an xray and catscan done …

  30. My minor son was injured while on vacation. The arrogance at Central Maine Medical Center and Dr. Michael Reagan is unequalled. The lack of knowledge and ability to listen almost cost my son his leg. They held my son hostage for 9 days …

  31. Cmmc has changed drastically & I’m not talking about COVID in any way, shape or form. COVID only highlighted how screwed up this hospital’s administration is. Administrative changes have made it so HARD to get through to “ the person you …

  32. When you get a call Friday reminding you of an 8:20AM Monday morning appointment, but when you show up and they tell you that you can’t be seen because your appointment was at 8:00AM, NOT GOOD practice. I mean really, I didn’t pull the 8:20 …

  36. My mom died because the dr wanted to discharge her so he could go home.They left her in 1 degree weather.She tried to walk home and died from her bladder bursting and a bloodclot the size of a babies head.

  37. Came to visit my grandma in the ER around 9pm on 12/9/19 and nobody responded to the call bell until at least 10 minutes. My grandma was complaining of pain and the tech who’s name started with a K was very rude and told us pain wasnt an …

  38. I haven’t had my visit yet because my reminder call told me to be here at 2:30 and when I had made the appointment they told me 3:00. I called to confirm and was transferred 3 times and the last person in Central scheduling said she could …

  39. If I could give them none I would. My 16 yr old son was injured while on vacation. Their arrogance and lack or knowledge almost cost my son his leg. They held him hostage for 9 days refusing to let him be transferred to another hospital …

  40. I couldn’t be more unimpressed with how they have handled my wife’s pregnancy. She is high risk and hasn’t seen the specialist in over a 2 months and went 4 weeks without seeing her doctor. Just continue to get the run around in everything and it’s been ridiculous.

  41. Is the ICU open at all? No, because you fired the staff for not being a lab rat for the experimental poison jabs. No I don’t want to speak to your patient advocate so spare me a response.

  42. Mistreats my wife acts as if we are criminals no we are just homeless and the way she was restrained the other day was uncalled for she has a right to leave I was there for two days never saw a doctor just nurses requested a doctor only got …

  43. My husband was treated at our area ER hospital for pain in his lower back. They found his BP kept dropping, so they Sent him to Central Maine Medical for treatment an hour away. The staff there found he had sepsis. Also found a mass from …

  44. My husband went to er and with all the rooms er has they had to put him in a hallway. He never did make it to to a room. He was discharged from a HALLWAY. How unprofessional is that. Last time I set foot in that hospital. I am switching hospitals

  45. A couple of years ago they treated me in an emergency situation I had two crushed femurs. my experience with the hospital was nothing but positive giving my situation. from my surgery to rehab high praises to all of your staff.

  46. Got a call today October 19th at 3:19 PM to let me know my surgery time for October 20th was scheduled for 5:30AM (great , get in early and out early) then another call at 3:51 saying surgery needs to be canceled because pre authorization …

  47. God bless the people at cmmc. The heart n vascular department is a smooth operating machine there ! They have save my life on 2 occasions. First with stent then 5 years later with tripple bypass surgery ! However my after care us somewhat …

  48. Waiting one hour plus to get lab work done. Wow I get to move from the waiting room where you can at least people watch to a lab room then wait again. I have been in here for 15 minuteswaiting to be registered. I thought I did that when …

  49. My sister was a patient in the ICU who unfortunately passed. Bethany was so amazing. She was so kind, actually wiped away tears but remained very professional. Explained everything while being very sweet and compassionate. She is a true …

  50. I went there for imaging. Walked in and had a temperature check. I was given directions and checked in.I waited 10 minutes and brought to imaging. All in all from start to finish no more than 30 minutes. It was a pleasant visit.

  51. Boooooo, closing one of your best centers! Your neurosurgery unit was one of the best with the best doctor I’ve ever had. Dr Radwan it will be sad to see you go, you really saved my life and put me back together. Thank you!!

  52. They helped me out with an IV when i woke up with pain, there was a lot of help from everyone, they also help with other things. They’re all compassionate, some people just don’t vibe enough.

  53. Made me take x-rays of my foot and knee 2 days after I had already had them done in portland. Originally I refused pain management. 2 days later I’m dying so I go to CMMC beings its by my house. Have to pay cash for the visit and secondary …

  54. Had to visit the ER … what a horrible visit, not only did it take 45 minutes waiting on a Dr to come in the room (i was the only patient there) I had a nurse splint my finger incorrectly. Had to go to my PCP to re splint it … who said …

    Billing on the other hand was a 1 star!!! The initial payment was made that day, …

  56. I was experiencing respiratory problems due to my asthma that likes to come around during fall time every year. This year seems to be the worst one yet. Before this hospital, I was checked in, seen, treated within 30 minutes and left within …

  57. Zero bedside manner. Treats patients like customers and will release a 90 yr old patient with Stage 4 Cancer and an infection for their own better bottom line. Case workers and nurses treat relatives with zero care and consideration and …

  58. My mother had one of the best ED doctors I have ever met at this hospital. Dr. Hadel listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions and he even ran a test at my request to rule something out. He is the most compassionate ED Dr. I …

  59. laws plastered all over the place in 4 languages about obtaining medical treatment in a timely manner. That’s a joke. Triage is supposed to work by examining a patient and assessing injuries there for 5 hours and didn’t even get looked at. …

  60. I went here to give a medical evaluation to get a hernia repaired and they completely ignored me and when a went to the doctor after 4 hours of waiting, he told me, it’s okay, you can leave! And he was eating and minding his own business …

  61. Pretty great. So far I have been having a good time here. All though some people say that the staff are rude here. I have had one or two of those people but I would’ve still given it five stars but I didn’t due to so many cases of that happening. But still I like this place they have helped me a lot!

  62. The nursing staff is always wonderful. The doctors, however, are cold and treat you like you wasted their time coming in. This has happened to me 4 for 4 times in the last 7 years.

  63. Working for a provider office, I find it extremely helpful calling medical records. As soon as Erin answers the phones I KNOW I’ll get exactly what I’m looking for. She is always pleasant to talk to and very helpful. Keep it up!

  64. I started at Urgent care in Sabattus Street. They could not help me & sent me to the ER at cmmc, where I never received a room. I just sat in the waiting-room for 8 hours. They would come out and bring me for bloodwork, MRI, Urine test and …

  65. Sad, I am in the COVID section with the virus and my heart beets at only 25%. Why can the sickest patients not get hot food? I just ate a cheese omelet that was ice cold as is most of my food here. They bring it up 3 times a day and the …

  66. Have been waiting for 3 hours to see someone after having tests done and have been told they have the results but no doctor to come tell me. Saw the doctor on duty come hand three kids stickers. So they lied. Asked if they could call me …

  67. I had surgery early Tuesday morning and I could not have asked for a better group of people to help me through it. The nurses were so kind and went beyond what was required of them. I stayed after surgery to recover and I had my surgeon, …

  68. They put in a new rules for controlled substances. You need to call your provider to get it filled. They never told us or my pharmacy. They change the rules every once in awhile just to make things hard. I guess they want sick and elderly …

  69. Im a diabetic who needs a insulin pump. Starting in Feb trying to get everything i need for medical supply n insurance to get this pump. Papers were faxed from medical company on what they need. They were ignored by this office nothing …

  70. I’m waiting on back surgery, I go into this hospital and waited for 3 hours without anything, I’m in such excruciating pain that I have tears going down my face. I finally get called back and waited in another room for an hour. I was in …

  71. If you care about your well being, and even if you don’t, I suggest avoiding the ER. And they sell your personal information with solicitors. Ganey surveys to be specific

  72. The staff needs to be taught to be more compassionate and sensitive to families on the outside calling and asking questions and trying to get updates. We are their advocates! It’s very scary when they are in their all alone and not in the right state of mind. How would you feel if it was your partner, parent, or child??

  73. Terrible service every dr and nurse there should be fired, i was in there for seizures, and had one while there, i was screaming for help and literally died while in their care because nobody came to help me and i suffocated on my own …

  74. My rating is based on couple of visits. To preface, I’m giving two stars instead of one because the nurses are awesome there. 1) Went to the ER for abdominal pain. Was there for nearly four hours. The doctor was more concerned with my …

  75. My mother went here for treatment of lung cancer that spread to her brain. The staff treated both me and my mother like an inconvenience. I felt like I had to “prove” to the nurses and doctors that she was not ok. The staff here are …

  76. I’ve been waiting for three hours to be seen for chest and limb pain. Constant lead exposure. Only person who’s been seen is the woman who had a stroke behind me and that was two hours ago

  77. There are no negative stars so I put a one. Environmental services treated the trash with better respect and dignity than my mother got from the ER. Mom came out of the ER worse than when she went in. Go to an animal clinic instead you will get better medical care.

  78. I love my doctors and the care I receive at CMMC but 50% of the bills I recreate wrong and I have to call them to get them corrected. I wonder how many people they are taking advantage of that don’t watch their billing as closely as I do. I’m begging to think this is something more than incompetence.

  79. Horrid communication and poor service! I have been waiting on help from their inpatient intake for three to four weeks to only learn that now after making multiple calls consistently during that time that they cannot help me, and this is some severely miserable service. This location is pitiful and deserves zero stars!

  80. No one in that place actually knows what they are doing I have been dealing with the same symptoms sense thanksgiving and still have them I have called over 20 times to try to get answers but all the doctors and nurses just push it off.

  81. The type of care that they provide to their patients is ridiculous. If you have any family members in care of cmmc I would highly recommend you pay attention to your beloved and their care. Also, watch for pressure sores. Keep up on their care and watch for neglect.

  82. My grandmother was recently in the hospital for a fall that fractured a couple of ribs. The nurses and doctors were awful to her except for a couple. She has dementia and they would make her wait 22 mins to go to the bathroom, making her …

  83. For goodness sake if u get any kind of cancer DONT go here. Less than a week to surgery for cancer and the Dr pulls the rug from underneath me. So I guess it will have to be this way. Don’t go here.

  84. This thank you is long overdue for the comfort and kindness that I was shown at Arbor House.The residence was my respite after the side-effects of radiation and chemotherapy. I was given a sunlit room, books, a beautiful library and a well …

  85. Brought my 2 y/o daughter in to the ER after she presented with a runny nose, waking from her sleep complaining of pain every 20 minutes, and shaking uncontrollably without fever. We were seen by Dr. Charles Bevan, who kept his arms crossed …

  86. I’m so sad that I’m writing this review. I worked at CMMC for over 10 years! I recently needed medical attention and went to CMMC in the ER. The only positive from my 24 hours was my ER physician. The nurses left my bed rails up, pumped up …

  87. Went in for surgery about a year ago. They had lost my paperwork twice before they actually got me in, and they messed up my insuranceinformation. And now that I’ve gone back to the emergency room for a bad disc in my back. I never want to …

  88. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and had sepsis when I was diagnosed cmmc oncology is amazing but the emergency room has been the worst experience I’ve ever had at any hospital they’ve made me wait hours only to remove my name from …

  89. Wish I could give no stars. The treatment my father received before he died in their care was heartbreaking. We couldn’t see him until they were performing CPR to try to keep him alive. My poor mother. Married for 46 years, couldn’t be …

  90. The administration and acute care management of this hospital is horrible. They are mostly dishonest, incompetent and corrupt/shady people who do not care about their employees at all and only marginally about their patients. There are some …

  91. I gave birth on 12/20 and my experience was so amazing. The nurses were so sweet and caring. This was my first baby so I was terrified but the help they provided helped put my mind at ease.

  92. I had to go into cmmc this morning for an endoscopy and colonoscooy. The staff on that floor was great! All very personable and all had great attitudes!! Nobody likes having procedures done but it makes it so much easier when the staff has …
