Intermittently for three years I've been bothered by excessive ear wax. At times it has…read moresignificantly interfered with my hearing. I researched the issue on the web as I often do and found the website of Fagan Audiology: https://www.faganhearing.com/. I was impressed by the material on the website. This August (2018) I called them and described my problem. I was told the cost for ear wax removal and a hearing test would be $100. According to my research, this was a price within the normal range for these services. I made an appointment for 08/27/18. I arrived early and so had time to read some of the interesting material in the waiting room. Among other things, I learned that there's a connection between hearing loss and dementia; I hadn't known that. When it was time for my appointment, Dr. Derina Boothroyd, examined my ears and confirmed wax blockage in both ears. She tried to take the wax out with a metal curette, but that caused me some discomfort so we went with option #2: flushing the wax out with a water-pik-like device. Kathleen, the friendly front desk person, assisted. It was very quick and painless. Afterwards Dr. Boothroyd had me dry my ears with a princess-telephone-shaped ear blow dryer. That was a quick process too. Next, Dr. Boothroyd had me sit in what looked like an old fashioned bank vault but was, when the door was shut, a sealed room to test hearing. This was a computerized test. I put on a headset so I only would hear the sounds coming from the machine. I held a clicker in my hand and clicked every time I heard a sound, even if it was faint. I was a little nervous, particularly after what I read in the waiting room. At the conclusion of the test, Dr. Boothroyd pronounced my hearing "normal." I was very relieved and happy. The cost was exactly as agreed on: $100. I think the whole visit took about a half hour. This is my kind of medical visit experience: short, successful, and a modest cost. As a general note, I'd like to say: good hearing is so important. When the wax blockage was at its worst, I was concerned about driving safely because the auditory source of feedback was diminished. Also, I love music, so it was such a pleasure to fully hear my CD collection and download collection again.

They sent refill to pharmacy but they didn't tell me it needed a prior authorization. When I called last week, they said they had sent it. Today they admitted they did not send it and that they are so back logged that it takes 6-8 weeks for them to submit prior authorizations for routine refill requests. This is a crazy unacceptable detail, and to make it worse they never told me of the delay. When I asked for a phone number to the leadership team, the PA was done within an hour. Previously I had to call / send portal message 4 times for a refill and was then told they were back up and I should call every time I need a refill instead of using the refill line or portal refill. Why can't they hire adequate staff?

My last set needed work done on them, and this office was listed as an authorized repair service, which is why I contacted them. Jon repaired them several times at no charge even though I bought them somewhere else. When one of them stopped working permanently he gave me a new hearing test and suggested a different brand. At no time did I feel pressured to buy them. I wish they'd been less expensive, but high end hearing aids cost a lot of money, and it's worth it to me since I couldn't do my job without them. The new ones work much better than the older ones, and I've been back several times for adjustments, cleaning, and new parts. I've been very happy with them. They also provide batteries for the life of the aids, which is a nice perk.

I had an appointment for a hearing test for my two children. One appointment was at 3:40 and the other 4pm. We arrived at the office at 3:35pm. At 4:05pm, neither of my children had been seen, I asked the receptionist what was going on and she just said "Oh, he's running a little behind." --- This should've been my warning to run because its the reason we originally stopped going to his office. I said okay, I will give it 10 more minutes. 5 minutes later he came and got my Daughter since my son was in the bathroom, I mentioned the long wait times and he just said "Sorry I was caught up." Okay. He asked why she was there and I said it was because she needed a hearing test... "Well that won't be happening here today. We don't even have an audiologist on. All the ladies up front said was that she was here for speech problems?" At this point I was pretty ugly. I told the receptionist when I called last week I needed my kids scheduled for hearing tests. SPECIFICALLY SAID HEARING TESTS. They said he was available Monday for hearing tests and that was what was scheduled. So basically for my daughter the appt was a complete waste. There was no need for us to drive 25 minutes. wait over 30 then be told she couldn't even be seen for what she was scheduled for. Next was my son's turn. Another hearing test, "Well he might be old enough for the one we have so lets try it." Fine. At least one of kids will get what they needed done... NOPE wrong again. He hooked him up to a machine(stuff on his head and ears) and had him sitting in a room ALONE (He's 8.) for almost thirty minutes. I finally was like where is my son? and found him and asked if he was almost finished "The machine won't let me finish!" So then the doctor came in and goes "Well we will just take the results we got and see what they say." THE MACHINE WASN'T EVEN TAKING THE TEST. He's like "well they both need to go to NorthEast for hearing tests. We didn't get any results." Basically I spent almost 2 hours in this office to have absolutely NOTHING done for my kids. DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR TIME WASTED TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

I had been in bed for two days and was due back at work but knew I couldn't make it thru an hour of it so I drove to the hospital. It's early afternoon on a Thursday and they had a 3 hour wait in the ER. Well I was absolutely too sick to sit in a waiting room for 3 hours- and that's just to get to step one. So I got back in my car and called Maine Med family practice and found out that they do have urgent care so I could be seen that day at a designated time just by a different doctor- but one with my records on hand. So much better . Seriously unless it's 3am and I'm in an accident I would ALWAYS prefer to just use my urgent care!! So today I had my physical. I received 3 vaccinations and was totally happy to realize the importance of having a regular doctor at a decent hospital. Going over the paperwork they gave me while there I realized that in the last few months they had amassed my entire medical history. I lived seeing shots I received in 1988. I don't have to remember that my Tetanus was due this year. They reminded me. Maybe it cuz I'm from a big city in California but insurance for me there always meant ER visits or clinic visits. Never this personalized care. They called me to set up the appt for my yearly physical. I didn't have to remember. Gotta love that. One less thing on the calendar to set reminders for.
