Mid Coast Hospital

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.

Lovely sonogram room. Great staff.

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 pile of other patients, only to be given a form and told to wait again. The appointment was at 2, it's almost three now. Portland would have taken less time even with the extra drive. Receptionist barely cares, nurses nowhere to be seen. There is no point in coming here, just got to Portland and get faster, better care. This place is a waste.

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 on. Promptly got pain medication, was kept up to date on tests and results. Both my attending physician and nurses took the time to explain everything to me in detail and ensure I understood the course of action to be taken. Everyone I came into contact with was very compassionate with me, and I was respectful and understanding of them, (as much as I could be, considering how much pain I was in. However once my pain was manageable and the ED got flooded with people in considerably worse condition than I, it's understandable that I was a little lower on the priority levels). My attending was extremely thorough and knowledgable. Though I'm sure not every doctor there is as amazing, I feel that for the most part, the staff as a whole was impressive. I got the best possible care and was well looked after. Overall, I feel happy with the experience, I felt adequately cared for during the worst several hours of my life, and I'm quite impressed with the staff I had contact with.

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.
