The staff are extremely friendly. The office is clean and modern. It is so convenient to have a mammogram lab in the same building. Dr Dawson Chalet is fabulous. She is so attentive and took the time to get to know me and put me at ease. I would recommend this practice and doctor to anyone who is looking.I had a wonderful first patient experience!

From start to finish I felt heard and empathized with. I was very nervous to change doctors as I have had the same one for 10 years. I am so happy I changed and look forward to working through my female troubles here.Now being in my late 30’s things were happening to my body that could no longer be ignored.

I sat on some major decisions for a while before coming to the ultimate decision to have a major surgery. I had the option of going out of state to someone who specializes in endo excision but after doing a lot of research decided I was going to have my OBGYN Dr. Sam Ricci complete the procedure. I waited a while to complete the review as I wanted to be able to comment on recovery. I had my hysterectomy (leaving both ovaries) and endo excision completed on Dec 1 2025. I was out of work for approx 6 weeks as I have a very active job but the procedure, recovery process, and even getting back into real life stuff like lifting heavier weights again has all gone as expected on track and very well. Dr. Sam Ricci was so helpful along the way answering all of my questions and super compassionate at all times. When I was considering having the procedure done, I wished there had been more reviews online for the OBGYNs that complete these surgeries on the regular. So although I really didn’t necessarily want to share this vulnerable information, I decided to in hopes that it might help another woman in making her final decision. Wishing all you women in similar situations the best and thank you so much to Dr. Sam Ricci who helped me through one of my most challenging life decisions yet!!Ashley Pratt has been providing my care for the past 6 years and I trust her absolutely — intelligent, thoughtful, kind.

As an RN, I have high standards for my healthcare providers and Ashley always exceeds my expectations! The practice is also run so well. They do an excellent job!Dr. Carla Berkeley is wonderful and I wish her a happy retirement. All staff has always been pleasant and courteous. I look forward to the new doc for next year's annual visit.Dr Slager is informative, caring and clear in her explanations of your options. I've been seeing her for a long time and have always found her to be thoughtful and compassionate.Kind and caring all around - doctors, nurses, and staff.

They greet me with a helpful smile and I feel at ease from that moment on. Getting a mammogram is not considered the most relaxing, however, every time I get one at CWH, it is quick, painless and I can’t say enough about how fantastic the Mammogram Technician is.I always feel listened to and cared for when going here.

I walked in a few days ago, not knowing where I was, in tears, and panicked because who I was supposed to see wasn't even there, but the two women at reception were extremely kind and helpful. Made phone calls on my behalf, and helped me on my way to another facility. I believe that reception is the face of a business, and these ladies left the impression that this business will do right by you, and if I ever need their services, I will remember the kindness of these ladies. Thank you for saving me that day.I have been a patient here since I got pregnant with my first child two years ago.

My provider -- Dr. Slager -- is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and kind, but I have had terrific experiences with all of the providers. My pregnancy was high risk and I had weekly visits for most of the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, so I met with nearly every provider. Dr. Shinners delivered me at Maine Med, and was excellent. Strongly recommend this practice for all women's obstetrical and gynecological care.First, I’ve seen several of the doctors there and find them quite good. Compassionate and actually listen and try to find solutions. However, it is very difficult to get…First, I’ve seen several of the doctors there and find them quite good. Compassionate and actually listen and try to find solutions. However, it is very difficult to get appointments. Several months at least. When you need appointments that are cycle-timed and are dealing with irregularities this is problematic. The nursing staff is rude and dismissive - especially over the phone. I called today to move forward with a procedure the doc and I have been discussing for some time. Nurse first told me that I couldn’t just decide to do this without an appointment to discuss with the doc. She clearly didn’t bother to look at my chart. She was audibly annoyed at my questions seeming to want to get off the phone as quickly as possible. Also couldn’t give me any sense of when I might get a call back because “the doc was out today” and “tomorrow she was seeing patients” and the nurse “wasn’t sure when doc would have a chance to review.” Enormously frustrating and disappointing, but probably on par with many medical offices.I have been seeing Dr. Dawson for over 25 yrs. and will continue, hopefully for many more. it’s worth my 2 hour drive to see one of the best OBGYN doctors in Maine.

Erin exceeds my expectations with every visit always compassionate, even remembering conversations from the previous year and willing to facilitate a referral if needed to ensure you are getting the best possible care. Another bonus is how well the office is handled . No lines no waiting:) Best regards Dari H.Dr. Shinners has been my OB/Gyn provider for years.

Hoping I'd chosen well, I met with Dr. Carla Burkley one day this week and could not be more pleased with the kindness and professionalism shown to me by each staff member from the time I was greeted at the front desk, shown to the exam room byJocelyn, checked out by Michelle after my visit and especially during my first meeting with Dr.Burkley. I feel that I have chosen well and look forward continuing my care at CWH.

From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for. What could have been a very scary and stressful situation was handled with such thoughtfulness and respect. Their gentle approach and calm demeanor made a huge difference and helped put me at ease. I truly appreciated how they treated me not just as a patient, but as a person. It’s rare to find a place where clinical expertise is matched with such genuine kindness.

Also, the nurse (Christine) who took care of me during a recent procedure was very friendly and comforting, which made a big difference during a painful procedure.
