- ArthritisFrom our first meeting, the doctor put me at ease. He and his team took x-rays that showed I had severe rheumatoid arthritis. He immediately put me in touch with a rheumatologist to help me get my disease under control. Once I did that, they were ready to operate on the first knee.

- Labor and DeliveryAs one of the most - if not THE most - important days of my life, it has been etched into my memory as a time of joy, laughter, kindness, braveness, and teamwork! I did not have an easy labor by any means and am certain that my memory of it would be much less positive if it were not for all the nurses, docs, etc. who cheered me on and helped me proudly bring my beautiful daughter into the world. Special thanks to Dr. Anderson for always making me feel heard and giving me such great care throughout the entire journey. What an amazing group of people there is up in labor and delivery!

"We know our patients, we know the trajectory of this disorder and we can anticipate what they’ll need and when they’ll need it,†Taylor said.
- Behavioral HealthThe security personal went well beyond to make us feel comfortable and relaxed in such a stressful time. Every one was great and caring. When I had to leave, I felt a sense of security, as I knew she was in great hands. When I was able to visit the Behavioral Health department was outstanding and I couldn't have asked for better staff. A lot was one-on-one treatment and that's a plus in my book. That tells me you all actually care for your patients. Thank you!

- OrthopedicsI began having trouble with my knee in 2004. It would swell up and be very painful. It got worse over the next two years. It hurt to stand. I couldn't put any weight on it. At that time I went Mid Coast Medical Group- Orthopedics, and had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
- Wound Care
- Joint ReplacementEach of my surgeries, three months apart, was a little longer than most, as they had to do some bone repair and cyst removal in addition to the joint replacement, due to my long untreated rheumatoid arthritis, but I came through both of them fine.
- Cyst Removal
- Hip ReplacementThe care and treatment I received during my hip replacement surgery was nothing but outstanding. The surgical team, staff of nurses, and therapists, as well as administrative personnel, could not have been more professional, efficient, and friendly. Your new facilities are impressive to say the least.
- Knee ReplacementNow I am back to work, delivering 20-40 thousand pounds of products each day without any pain. Before my surgery, I was 56 years old and felt like I was 76. Now at 58, I feel like a 40 year old. Knee replacement surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself.
- Cyst
- Physical TherapyI was walking pretty well by the time I returned home and needed only a couple of weeks of further physical therapy.
- Occupational TherapyOnce the decision was made, everything progressed very smoothly. There were no surprises. The surgery and my hospital stay went without a hitch. I got really wonderful nursing care, and physical and occupational therapy.
