I barely sat down when Nurse Kara called me into a room. She was efficient and caring. She did a Covid test and said it would be an hour for the results.

Extremely kind and helpful. She prescribed Paxlovid and called the script into the hospital pharmacy. When we arrived there, the staff was working on our insurance to determine the medication cost. I cannot say enough about how helpful Hilary was! I really appreciated her going the extra mile to help us out. Would highly recommend Pen Bay Medical. Everyone there was top level

On the website they say they are open to complimentary medicine "Though we approach most routine health care issues from a traditional "western" perspective, we understand that, for many, complementary medicine plays an important role in their overall health. We respect this approach and, when appropriate, we will weave this into the health care plan." This is simply not true. I have had an amazing Naturopathic Doctor for 15 years in another state that has been the only one to have any knowledge to help me with severe auto-immune disorders and tricky thyroid issues. He called to tell me that he "does not believe in that model of care" and "does not believe in Naturopathic Doctors" and was not even willing to call mine. He then added he would not "just drop me" but would write me one more script for my thyroid medicine. Gee... thanks - considering that if I do not have thyroid meds I could get very sick and eventually slip into a fatal coma (which almost happen a while back with another negligent doctor). My husband had a similar experience, yet not as bad. He went in because he could barely walk with back issues. He was basically told that he is getting old (he is 40) and does manual labor and shouldn't expect much, and because he doesnt have money they won't order tests for him. My husband felt like the doctor made up his mind and stopped listening before he even finished describing his issues and what he has already done to help. The FNP then said he "would probably fail at PT". Who tells their patient that?! You might say it will be tough, it might be a challenge fitting it in or sticking with it, or it might not work for you - but why would a doctor phrase it that way?

It quickly became clear, however, that I was in the presence of a rare practitioner, and there was something far more significant than a round of bursitis for us to approach together. I'd just gone through a divorce, and was dealing with the immediate grief, a lingering problem with depression, and the residue of older pain that I'd never processed. Ching's expertise in deep emotional work came as a great gift, helping me slowly navigate the layers. He didn't "cure" anything; that's not his role. What he did was help free things up from the depths where they were hiding, and then bolstered my strength and clarity so I could do the personal work I needed to do. A year or so down the road, I am more free than I have ever been. And I cannot overstate the value of Ching's caring and intuitive support in getting here. There's a poem I love from Rumi, the famed 13th century Sufi mystic: The way of love is not a subtle argument; the door there is devastation. Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall, and falling, they're given wings. My unending gratitude to Ching for helping me find those wings.

There is a reason that this dentist, being open in Blue Hill for…read moreapproximately 3 years, has 0 Yelp reviews...gave 2 stars instead of just 1 because the crown was still able to be reattached after falling out 3 times since May 2020. Temporary crown came out after 3 days. Permanent crown came out after a few days AND I had to drive from out of state to have them repair it as there were no solutions they were willing to offer for me to remedy the situation where I was. Had the terrible experience of retrieving that crown after swallowing it...when eating soup. I heard plenty about his divorce that was still pretty fresh at the time. Hearing loads of F-bombs at a family dentist and being told, after drilling down my tooth already, that they decided to charge me more (which they did not after I brought up that I was paying in cash and being held hostage with my mouth open was uncool) made it so that going back to get it reattached was more than a chore. Out of his good grace, I was told I would not be charged for reattaching a crown that should not have come out after only a few days. I laughed thinking he was joking about even considering charging me after I drove hundreds of miles to allow him the opportunity to remedy the situation. On Christmas 2021, permanent crown came out again when eating bread. Beyond the cement failing yet again (I have another crown that was 5x less the cost that has never come out), the lack of professionalism from the head dentist never sat well with me. I waited to review for the inevitable occurrence of it falling out again. Finally giving the stars this dentist deserves. Thankfully, the crown was able to be put back on elsewhere so at least it was salvageable. And I didn't swallow it on Christmas so avoided that inhumane and unsanitary experience a second time. Go to the dentist office down the street. They treated me very professionally and did an excellent job with my root canal on that same tooth and were also my best friend's family dentist the 5 years they lived in Blue Hill. They just weren't able to get the crown as quickly, but I certainly paid the price for wanting the crown done before I headed back out from Maine by going to Castleberry.
