Reviews of Central Maine Medical Center (Hospital)

Jennifer Mann

Very good birthing unit.

Susan Robitaille

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.

Shelly Haig

Worst ER experience. I have been caring for my mom for years and this is the first time coming to this ER. I can guarantee we will not be back.

The rn named Caleb is very disrespectful towards patients. My friend severely hurt her foot and was being very rude to her. While she's in pain asking him to stop for a moment he refused. And was yanking on her foot, as she's balling and freaking out in pain. Then she asks to speak to the doctor and rudely demands her that she needs to inform him. Overall very disappointed in this visit

Jason Hall

Meh.

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.

Taylor Withey

It was a short wait. I was treated with respect concerning my embarrassing injury. They had exceptional bedside manner.

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 appointment out of a hat. It was a lot less chaotic when it was High Street Family. To further elaborate on the CMMC mishaps, I called the breast center to reschedule for today and was told I had already rescheduled for tomorrow, which I wouldn't do because I work on Tuesdays (and I just made the appointment last Friday). I know I have a common name, but I seriously doubt I have the same birthday as other patients.

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 second line to just find out we can't connect to her after a hour wait just to receive second half hour wait for nothing

Damian Sizemore

I was brought to this facility by ambulance,1 1/2 away from home, I spent 8 days there, with 3 surgeries in 4 days,, My gallbladder was finally removed, after 2 drs. lied to me, my pancreatic was inflammed ,, in the 8 days I did not recieve my daily medications that I am on, when questioned, the nurses and dr.s walked out ignoring everything,, I did call my health provider was called by me to try to get me out of there and gall bladder surgery some where else, wow the dr didn't like that, and low and be hold surgery, My dr, is checking and all my records are being sent to him, I am going to outbudsman to check on my status,, The nurses were good, but sad they see what is happening, and a paycheck is better then speaking up for themselves or the patient,, If you want to wait and die go here,, the dr's are liars and we the patient is the cash cow

Bob Henderson

The best......awesome staff..excellent nursing and med care!

Rilriia Kilurden

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.... Worst of the worst.

Doctor follow up

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 and they told her "your kidney are fine" two weeks later her doctor tells her "Well when you were at the hospital they found crystals on your kidney and you have this certain kidney disease...." My father has a recurring extremely painful abdominal condition that Dr's have yet to figure out because they refuse to check him for anything else other than what they assumed it was the first time, and they were wrong. He went in last time with severe dehydration, and they even told him his kidneys were dry because he was so dehydrated, but they only gave him ONE IV bag and despite mentioning it to servers RN's that his bag had been dry for an hour and he was still dehydrated, they never gave him a second one and sent him home like that. It took him two days to get his hydration levels back to normal because he couldn't keep anything down and they knew that. My mother is currently there because she just got two teeth pulled and the dentist that did it pretty much butchered her mouth in the process and she's having excessive bleeding and swelling, well above normal. She went to the ER last night because she was in excruciating pain, and they said it's not normal and ran a blood test and that was it. Shes back there today and she had to fight with them just to have one blood test done and they are trying to tell her it's her "allergies" that is causing it. Complete bs. A few years ago I fell 25ft off a cliff and after an xray and mri they told me that my head was fine and I had no concussion. The next two weeks I was sick every time I got in a car and dizzy all the time, I went to my regulars Dr and he told me I had a SEVERE concussion and that my jaw was dislocated. Over all. If you need urgent care, go anywhere else but here.

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 refusing to let him be transferred to another hospital. They provided virtually nothing for pain and infection, instead saying he was being difficult. We were verbally assaulted almost every day, my son for “not going along with the plan” and myself for questioning them and insisting they move him to a Boston Hospital. I was threatened to be arrested and removed by the police for speaking for my minor son. For going above their head and calling other hospitals and my insurance company. By the time I was able to have him transferred to a Boston Hospital His infection threatened amputation of his leg. To add to their incompetency they also missed a Major concussion and broken arm (keep in mind they had 9 days to find this he had all the classic signs) Because of their lack of care my son spent an additional 2 1/2 months bouncing between Mass General and Spaulding rehab. He was forced to endure 8 horrific additional surgeries (approx. 2 per week) which required reopening the leg and using a wound vac to attempt to remove the infection and debris left by CMMC. All while constantly fighting a major infection, an infection so bad he required a pic line with IV antibiotics for 9 months. (Even after his release he needed IV meds). Even now years after his release he is not all clear, he still will require more surgeries. STAY AWAY You are better off with a Band-Aid and a witch DR.

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 not get through to that office to confirm if they wanted me here at 2:30 or 3......I asked to hold as I had just been transferred 3 times and I also needed to get back to work. I waited for a few minutes and the girl came back on and confirmed that I should arrive for 2:30 for prep. I have now arrived at 2:15 and told my visit is at 3:30 and I should have arrived for prep at 3. I would recommend you get rid of central scheduling and have each office have their own smaller call center. It is more personal and efficient. I always wait about 20 minutes for somone to answer only to be told someone will have to call me back. If I choose the call back option, I don't get a call back. I have not had a good experience since central scheduling. One good outcome of this experiencewould be that they should get a good reading on my stress test! NOT HAPPY!

Good service

Mauritta Mershon

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.

dragonfly chabot

Lonnie C

Come one, come all! Get your healing done and get your fixes! Healing potions and magic machines. Not much else to say.

Daniel Hemond

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.

Ltown Knowledge

I have been to this Hospital more times then I can count on 10 fingers and toes. If you have to take a trip to the ER this is not a bad place, they are quite fast during check in at the ER, my visits could not have been better. There is a whole lot more to this Hospital then I can explain. They have some of the best Staff in the state, they have some of the best Dr's in the world. This Hospital is very professional. Come on in. Break a Leg.

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 asset to your hospital. A true nurse shows compassion and empathy while performing her job. Bethany is the kind of nurse I wish all those I love to have there for them

The Man

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 ignored I requested medicine for my wife and she didn't receive them till I called them all out and then they had security kick me out but oh then you gave her the medicine she needed cause y'all know I was right no doubt going into this hospital you should have a lawyer by your side and I had high hopes for this place it was nice but I see now it's just people who only want a paycheck a lot of the nurses were really awesome but why no doctors? Also I seem to have suddenly been deleted out of the system as MY WIFES emergency contact the one who helped her get there and has seen her for two days

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 know I really don't like to hear those words, I have had the ultimate in care. Between Mercy hospital in Portland and CMMC, I am still alive and kicking.

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! Make sure you get your receipt cause they don't know what they're doing. No courtesy for hard working people doing the best they can to keep track of so many medical apptointments and bills. We thought everything was paid off and then it turns out it isn't because they only applied payment to a few "encounter numbers" and not others because we set up a payment plan with them. Ridiculous!!! Not too long ago we were told we were all paid off. Then I get a call from collections because apparently we were not paid off on "ALL" our "encounters." They explained rather rudely that they don't "combine encounters" when I called. With the inaccurate billing of paid appointments and confusion with what insurance paid - I am supposed to just know that I have some random bill that wasn't paid with all of the others when your office told me I was paid up! I should have just known that this time you were actually sending out a different bill not associated with our other bill that needed separate specific payment - and that even though we were sending you money - you wouldn't apply it to this bill because this encounter number was the one magical encounter that was separate from everything else. That's like going to the grocery store and being stopped by security for shoplifting carrots because you should have known that you had to make carrot payments since your carrots were not combined into your grocery bill - and you should have known that. Apparently they can call to remind you of your appointment and tell you the wrong time - but they can't be bothered to call you back about messed up billing, or to help you sort out something. They have their priorities a little messed up!!

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 providing virtually nothing for pain and infection, instead saying he was being difficult. I was verbally assaulted almost everyday I was there for questioning them. Threatened to have removed by the police for speaking for my minor son. By the time I was able to have him transferred to a Boston Hospital His infection threatened amputation of his leg. To add to their incompetency they also missed a Major concussion and broken arm (keep in mind they had 9 days to find this he had all the classic signs) Because of their lack of care my son spent an additional 31/2 months in the Hospital forced to endure 8 additional surgeries. Then to rehab for a month. All while constantly fighting infection so bad he required a pic line for 9 months. Even after his release for IV meds. And still will require more. STAY AWAY!!! You are better with a witch doctor and some bactine it's more than you'll get there.

Maddelyn Butts

Took 13 calls to get through to someone for them to not be able to help me. I can't get a procedure done that I need because they're so slow.

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.
