I received exceptional care at Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital after needing emergency gallbladder surgery while vacationing in Maine. The surgery caused me to miss my flight home to Kansas and unexpectedly extend my stay by three days.
My surgeon and nurses were compassionate, attentive, and professional, and the housekeeping and dietary teams were equally outstanding. Everyone I encountered helped make an unexpected hospital stay more comfortable, and their kindness made a real difference while I was so far from home.

Reviews
I was admitted to Northern Light while with a bowel obstruction while on vacation. I have been to numerous hospitals over the many years due to an autoimmune disease I have; I was extremely impressed with the level of care and support I received while there. The doctors, nurses and staff were all fabulous. We owe them all a big thank you!
I was going to give this a one star review after a six hour day in the waiting room at the hospital for severe sinus infection, needing a CAT scan.
Now I hope I kind of go back to that same x-ray tech. Hubba hubba
