Why MaineOrtho

Personal — and Personable — Care:
The MaineOrtho Advantage

When you visit a MaineOrtho specialist for a bone or joint issue, you’ll get a kind of one-on-one care that is uncommon in today’s world of modern, high-tech, “volume-oriented” medicine. You see, many orthopedic practices today take a so-called team approach, where several lesser-trained staff of the practice attend to much of your care. The specialist meets with you only when it is deemed “necessary.”

As a MaineOrtho patient, on the other hand, you’ll meet directly with your MaineOrtho surgeon throughout your course of treatment,* from your initial visit through post-surgery or physical therapy follow-up.

Your doctor-patient relationship and how it affects your care
With degrees from leading undergraduate and medical schools, residencies at top-flight hospitals, Fellowships, Board certifications and all the rest, MaineOrtho’s specialists have a reputation for being highly dedicated and accomplished experts — who also happen to be approachable, personable and even funny people, traits that foster trust and help make for an open, easygoing doctor-patient relationship. The kind of relationship that makes it comfortable for you to work together to make an informed decision on the treatment option that makes the most sense for you and your lifestyle — whether that means surgery, simple rest, physical therapy, joint replacement or some combination.

In short, the course we take is all about you and your personal preferences. We never forget that we’re here to serve you.
