  1. CALLED TO PAY BILL, WAS TOLD i WAS ALL SET, THEN THE REST OF THE BILL WAS SET TO COLLECTIONS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE! CALLED TO PAY THE BILL AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO CALL COLLECTIONS TO PAY IT.

  2. Mid Coast Hospital bar none is the best place I have received for my mental health treatment they treated me with respect as a person and not a number I highly recommend it Mid Coast Hospital for their psychiatric department.

  3. Several bad experiences throughout my years of recieving care. Told to try benadryl when I nearly had pneumonia. Extreme abdominal pain and vomiting was treated with pepto and bedrest while I passed a gallstone. More personal grievances I …

  4. I have had to go to this ER 3 times. Once for my wife and twice for my kids. Every one of those experiences has turned out to be horrifying. The lack of compassion or care even when dealing with my two and four year old daughters is …

  5. The care I received at this hospital is above the excellent level. The doctors,labs, nurses, equipment,cleanliness all make for a healthy and stress free recuperation.

  6. Good thing no one was blessing to death I get that it was a shift change in the morning but the old nurse couldn’t come in and let us know even what if anything new before she left and the new shift just hanging out at the nurses station …

  7. My wife came in with back pain that kept getting worse. There were 3 people in the lobby at the time of entrance. While we were waiting for a room 10 other people came in and we’re seen ahead of my wife. Not expectable

  8. Delivered my daughter here and had a great experience! Midwifery services and maternity ward staff are wonderful! Mom and baby are happy!

  9. Staff took good, thorough care of me on the worst day of my life. Got admitted just before shift change, my attending physician brought in the attending taking over my care to introduce us in person and ensure everyone knew what was going …

  10. People who were supposed to help me caused a greet deal of harm. I have severe PTSD and I was retraumatized there. I have written to and received a reply from those in control. They are handling this for me. NEVER WOULD I TRUST THIS ER …

  11. Terrible experience with my 89yr old mom at er. The staff was rude & inconsiderate. Treated her like she wasn’t of any concern even though she had a serious emergency.

  12. My wife was admitted on a weekend and spent 3days being tested and under observation due to a potential heart problem. The ER portion was caring, very thorough, excellent in every way.

  13. This hospital is a nightmare. I have never in my life experienced such inept billing department and lack of accountability and transparency. I have never felt scammed by a hospital before this place. I will never go back to this hospital, please save yourself the headache (and $) and go to Portland

  14. Rated 5 stars for being a great hospital and to offset a few 1 star ratings that are unreasonable.
    There are pandemic rules that every hospital has to follow, not just Mid Coast.

  15. I have never been treated with more kindness and genuine concern at any other hospital. The attending physician, as well as the rest of the staff starting with the receptionist at the ER, went out of their way to make sure I got the care I …

  16. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable Staff! Flew in from Texas to attend Bowdoin college and needed an appendectomy. Debated whether or not to drive down to Portland but am glad we chose to go to mid coast.

  17. I sat there for 4 hours with my sick 9 month old, they said it was nothing and set me home I turned around and went to Maine Med. where I found out he had RSV! I couldn’t be more disgusted at how they treated me. When I asked when we would be seen I was told “they go by who is sicker” “people are sicker than you’re son”

  18. Misery inducing wait times. We went here for a simple ultrasound instead of Portland where we usually go in hopes of saving some time. Instead we were shuttled into a tiny understaffed registration office where we waited cramped in with a …

  19. I can careless about Midcoast ER after today’s visit. I was very unhappy and very upset with the way they went about my situation. Next time I am going to Maine Med. I hear that they treat people alot better there with actual care for their patients.

  20. Evil hospital you think there here to help there not . There taking over with there evil practices . They only care about money. Forcing my kids to vaccinate , Mis diagnosing my kid when I damn well know she has something wrong with her …

  21. Do to the poor care I recieved in the ER after a motor vehicle accident, I got an infection. Which made me have to return to the ER. While sitting in my room over heard my doctor discussing my case with another doctor who said “give her pain killers and get her out of here” seems like a caring bunch to me. Please go to any other ER.

  22. Both my husband and I have been hospitalized at Midcoast within the past two years. We received EXCELLENT care and found the ER and hospital staff to be caring, thorough and efficient. Five big, happy, grateful stars!

  23. I do not like the er. I came in with a lot of pain. They put me into a room. I was there for about 1 hour. I put the call button on. For 10-15 minutes no one came. Then a security guard came in to ask if there was anything I needed. I …

  24. It takes more then a half hour to go through registration. Having 8 or 9 people in line is not ok. There’s either not enough staff, or they are talking to much about personal lives. Other then that Mid Coast is a great place.

  25. The physicians at this hospital were outstanding in helping treat my son, but the collections department is beyond abysmal. They have required me to do multiple back and forths with insurance company to resolve billing issues — and then …

  26. I am surprised to see any negative reviews here. I was a patient in both the emergency room and the ICU a year or so ago, and my experience with the staff was excellent. I found them to be professional and efficient, and felt I was treated with great care and respect. . . And no, I’m not on staff there.

  27. Just released today after ICU stay for BP issue. The staff is competent, attentive and knowledgeable. The rooms, halls, public areas are spacious, clean and comfortable. Meticulous attention to detail regarding meds and procedures. A …

  28. I just moved to Maine and after falling ill, it was recommended that I go to this hospital for treatment. My mother was with me and also feeling ill. The PA gave her antibiotics since her immune system was weaker. The PA told me they don’t …

  29. I was an in patient for just over a week I had a hospitalist Dr. Opolinsky came in with an attitude not even knowing me and told me I had a mental Functional disorder problem when that’s not even close. He even hurt me during one of my …

  30. If I were to get hit by a car on the highway and was told I had 10 minutes left to live and midcoast was the closest hospital… I would risk death by taking an ambulance to Maine medical instead. Not only did the doctors misdiagnose my …

  31. Misdiagnosed me 3 times in the ER and even drug tested me without my knowledge (which came back as negative because I don’t use them) and without a reason to test me. Because of misdiagnosing and a “scheduling error” at my PCP that pushed …

  32. I have grown up around the area and always do something stupid one day I fell down from a high place and it was taken seriously and professionally I will admit some nurses do nothing but sit around but the others are amazing

  33. Very nice people throughout the emergency room including Dr. Civiello and all the nurses, technicians and receptionists. I would highly recommend them. I never detected one single bad attitude the whole time I was there.

  34. Working in the nursing field myself I know that you have to have a level of compassion for people regardless of their medical issues, lifestyles, and put aside your personal feelings and realize they are people with feelings. …

  35. I was petrified because I thought I bursted my eardrum but it was 2:40 in the morning and I didn’t want to drive all the way to the hospital so I decided to call them instead. The way he treated me over the phone was disgusting. I called …

  36. While the medical staff and care I received was excellent, my overall experience at Midcoast Hospital was poor. I tried to decline emergency room service (my issue was not serious) and they took every opportunity to book me for unnecessary …

  37. Dr terri advani in the emergency room is absolutely unprofessional, rude and heartless. If she has a personal problem with you outside the hospital (even if she doesnt) you better hope you don’t get her as a doctor because she will ignore …

  38. My son got hit in the face with a baseball and needed stitches. It happened at 7:40pm, we arrived at 8pm and we’re heading home by 9:15. The PA who sewed him up was gentle, kind, careful and had exquisite skill. The nurses were kind and …

  39. I was doing EVS, my surgical oncologist felt its in my best interest to do a more stationary position. Instead of actually accomodating that request, the note receives a chuckle and Im told to quit and reapply but I have to meet another …

  40. Excellent hospital and staff. My mother had a bad stroke and the staff was excellent. They explained everything that was happening to my mom and really cared about her and my family. Hospice nurse was great. Everyone including the cleaning …

  41. I was impressed by the caring and professionalism of the staff at Mid Coast. I’m a nurse and do not tolerate poor care well, but the nurse, physician, and radiology tech were all terrific…even before they knew I’m a RN. I had to go to the …

  42. I delivered my son here and the entire staff from the midwives offices, OB’s and staff, the lactation coaches, and entire maternity staff were amazing! We loved the centering classes, personal care and attention all the way from start to …

  43. Brought my 82 year old husband into Midcoast Hospital last night as his primary care physician suggested if his blood pressure kept rising and his doctors office was closed. The person he saw did not introduce himself and my husband …

  44. I was experiencing a severe anxiety attack and went to the hospital. Upon arrival I asked the triage nurse if my friend could come in with me due to my severe anxiety. I was confused at her answer because I was able to have a visitor prior …

  45. I had been here recently for some type on infection. High fever chills etc. they couldn’t figure it out. Said it was probably covid. Told me to come back if I got worse. That wasn’t the bad experience. Then the doctor and nurse were …

  46. I’m not one to write a bad review but I’ve been to many hospitals in my life and this one by far is the worst hospital I have ever been to in my life. If you are looking for a hospital to go to, DO NOT CHOOSE MID COAST!! Everyone at this …

  47. I just wanna say I went into Midcoast Hospital on the 22nd for a knee replacement surgery I was nervous frustrated and I tell you the three nurses I had taking care of me were absolutely the best The anesthesiologist the doctors the PAs …

  48. I was a patient in the emergency room today with terrible back pain from lifting furniture. It was very busy there because of a number of seriously ill people. The triage nurse got me into a stretcher and gave me a ice pack very quickly. My …

  49. My little sister has a heart condition, and arrived at the hospital ER by ambulance due to this. She is a registered nurse herself and a compassionate one at that. What we were subjected to here was the most horrific, awful and downright …

  50. I went to the midcoast hospital after getting food posion! I can’t say enough about the level of care I received, the registration nurses doctors even the cleaning person was incredibly kind caring and very efficient in getting me in and out! They took very good care of me ! I recommend Midcoast Hospital!

  51. My brother, Ronald L. Hagerthy, died Thursday night at Midcoast Hospital. He had cancer. He was taken there by ambulance. He had been to the hospital several times in the last few weeks. He had started hospice on Thursday. The hospital knew …

  52. I was inpatient for 8 days and very thankful for the excellent care. Every nurse, aide and respiratory therapists were exceptional. The treated my medical condition with support and understanding. Respiratory therapists Patty and Tom were …

  53. Very disappointed with the obgyns who refuse to order an ultrasound for my wife unless we transfer care to them. This is a major reason we don’t go through them for our obgyn care. Very sad they refuse to help someone.

  54. I was going through a miscarriage. It was considered a missed miscarriage where I needed to take medicine to start the process. I took a tablet of Mifeprex in the doctors office with Catherine Huston. She also prescribed me 8 tablets of …

  55. Every time we have had to take my ninety-four year old mother to the emergency room (as well as surgery for a hip replacement), the doctors, nurses, and staff have been nothing other than accommodating, helpful, warm, and friendly. A+!

  56. We brought my daughter to the ER as she had a high fever and a wide range of symptoms. At first (in the ER) they were very helpful and attentive, although obviously very understaffed. Her issues were not covid but persistent, and the …

  57. Doctor was great I’ve never had an issue with any of the staff but their billing department is a total joke! I had an ER visit didn’t have insurance at the time in 2018 they said no worries we’ll send you a bill which is fine I had a …

  58. My wife and I decided to have our baby at Mid Coast Hospital after she went through some less than desirable experiences at another hospital with her previous two pregnancies (hemorrhaging, spinal anesthesia having to be done 6 times, among …

  59. Waited for over an hour in the waiting room not even being seen with severe chest pain ended up leaving and going elsewhere, my primary suggested I go to er for possible blood clot in lungs pribly should have someone wait that Long while taking other people in

  60. I had a 4-day stay, admitted from the ER. From the git-go, staff were knowledgeable, thorough, professional and personable. They could have easily discharged me with “heartburn” but waited for additional testing and time lapse for …

  61. I’m visiting my mom. I’m from Wv. I went in the ER for my gallbladder. I ’m 10hrs away from home visiting so that wasn’t good but I wouldn’t change it. I went in Monday early after my second attack. They covered everything. I had the best …

  62. My son has had an on going health problem since February this year. We have gone to so many doctors that I couldn’t tell you the number.
    My son has constant pain. When the pain gets to much to bare, doctors tell him …

  63. Worst hospital in the area. If you value your loved ones do not take them here. Go to portland or Augusta. Everyone but one nurse and one doctor are awful. They do not communicate and keep you in the loop. Long waits and many tests for over …

  64. It’s a mixed bag. Praises for the Palliative Care Team, oncologist Dr Haney and the nursing staff of the med/surg unit (rooms 210 and 234). It took awhile to conclude my sister was terminally ill and through it all these staff were …

  65. The only urgency with which my 7-hour ER visit was treated was getting me into a room. Dr. Nalchajian came across as caring but did not seem interested in any kind of diagnostics for my raging GI symptoms and high fever. A few hours into …

  66. Midcoast imaging is awesome! My daughter was so overwhelmed and tired during my ultrasound. She broke down many times, but thankful to the nurses and imaging staff, we made it through. It took over an hour, but we succeeded. I couldn’t have done it without the ladies help. What an amazing team they have.

  67. Just got off the phone with the most rude “nurse” I think I have ever talked with. No answers, no compassion. I typically like to post positive experiences only, but this truly deserves -stars if possible. I had a medical question that also …

  68. I went to Midcoast for a hernia repair and my nurse Lara was amazing. She was personable, compassionate and easy to talk to which made my experience better than I expected. This was my first surgery so as you can imagine it was unnerving …

  69. Just as I was leaving I had this lady goes “next time you come in don’t bring a 13yr old with you.” I DIDNT KNOW SHE COULDNT COME IN THE ROOM WITH ME. NOT MY FAULT, also the fact the lady was being completely rude and saying “next time …

  70. Another terrible experience at mid Coast Hospital! Myself my family and a lot of people I talk to hate the thought of having to go to mid Coast Hospital! Tonight was the latest of the chaos! Brought my daughter in with spinal problems and …

  71. I had a hernia repair from Dr Mason and tubal from Dr Shalhaney yesterday. I am so grateful that they were able to do both surgery at once, whereas Maine general wouldn’t even consider it. My surgery went well, other than the pain of …

  72. The secretary and Resource nurse were incredible. They went out of their way to help me when I had questions. Can’t recommend this hospital enough.

  73. Dragged from my home in handcuffs, sent to the ER, missed my work and the hospital sprained my wrist in their care. This hospital demands I pay 1.4k for my poor care! Definitely avoid this hospital

  74. I was considering taking My Wife there tomorrow but after reading all of the BROKEN RECORD PATHETIC EXCUSES of “apology” that is NO LONGER an “option” she already has enough health issues to be piling on more how does a HORRENDOUS HOUSE OF …

  75. The biggest joke of a hospital. The receptionist just told me to calm down because I asked her to open emergency room door. I told her to calm herself. Just waiting for results that none can say when actually they are coming. The staff here is a joke. Not helpful at all. Especially the overdramatic receptionist.

  76. Went in today for outpatient surgery. I’ve been to this hospital many times as a visitor but this was my first time as a patient. The nursing staff & the doctors were all courteous and caring and made me as comfortable as they could. Thank you everyone!!

  77. I was honestly dreading a taking my son to an ER, as you expect a long wait time and a chaotic experience. We headed here this early morning as my son really wasn’t doing good and on a holiday weekend we weren’t really sure where else to …

  79. I worked at Midcoast for over a year and loved it! As a patient when I had my daughters I felt very taken care of and cared about! Huge thank you to the Maternity and med-surg units!!!!

  80. We are super impressed by the staff here at MCH in the emergency department who treated our 10yo son for food poisoning and dehydration. The facilities were clean and well kept. Everyone was super kind and friendly. Top notch. Highly recommend!

  81. This place is the worst . Came in for severe pain in stomach area the nurse was really nice but the dr was awful, she rolled her eyes as I was trying to explain to her what was going on was told my blood work probably won’t show anything …

  82. I arrived at the hospital at 8:30 to the ER with the worst pain in my life, visibly in pain the receptionist told me to wait in the lobby to be called. All would have been fine if I hadn’t had to wait for an hour and a half to be seen. At …

  83. I had a scheduled lab appointment, after waiting 40 minutes and having a woman seem extremely upset run out, I stepped up to the reception and asked how much longer? One hour and a half late we are running. I said well is that from my …

  84. In general this has been the worst experience of my life. A couple of the nurses were great but the rest as well as my doctor really didn’t care about me at all. Worst care, no communication between doctors. I felt like I was just …

  85. I want to thank Dr. Civiello and everyone who helped during the Friday evening shift. (11/18) While traveling from VA to Maine, I was suddenly stuck with severe pain and was correctly diagnosed as a kidney stone. The nurses and everyone …
