I went to this place and they put 9 needles in my neck. Five stars! They were all very professional and explained my options, when to expect results, and a short primer on what the possible out comes are. More importantly, they laughed at all my jokes which is important for a person who uses humor as a coping mechanism. I would highly recommend them if you to need a fine needle biopsy of your thyroid... their needles and precision are the best.

Be ware!!! This facility instructed me to have follow up blood work performed and sent me to a local Nordx outpatient lab in a strip mall in Windham. Two months later, the lab bill arrives from my insurer for the full amount to be paid by me. $676 was my full responsibility because MMP billed it as "Hospital services" which is subject to my $750 annual deductible being met before any insurance is paid out, just as a visit to a hospital might be treated. Upon further research with Aetna, if I were not sent to their lab, and rather went to Quest Diagnostics in Portland, or a number of other labs in my area ( just as I do now for other routine blood work), my insurance would have covered the entire fee! Was I told this by MMP? Nope. Are they getting a cut of the revenue by sending me to a partner MMP facility by coding my charge as "hospital services"? Of corse they are. Did they do anything to help me reverse this unethical fee and let me go to a covered provider? Nope. So I'm out the $676 this time, but I will make sure others know of their practices for the next ten years! Bottom line: before ever accepting a service from this place, make sure you know the code of the procedure and check with your insurer for options. Last year I was charged $800 for a cytology, again subject to a deductible. I did not check this one, but a FNA Cytology is another routine test that can be performed out patient. I probably lost out there as well in retrospect.
