"The staff are top notch and bed side manner skills are outstanding!! Shout out to nurse Wendy...such a kind woman with lots of knowledge, compassion, and patience."
— Birdeye (MaineHealth Gastroenterology - Biddeford)"Don’t bother. I waited months during a severe gastric flair. When I finally got in I was told to “bulk fiber.” I have severe motility issue... I’m so sick of being told I have IBS when I don’t fit the clinical diagnostic."
— Birdeye (MaineHealth Gastroenterology - Biddeford)"The first time that I saw Dr. Saad, he was professional and kind and made an accurate diagnosis. When it came to my follow-up visit with him, he seemed like a different person... I waited over an hour in the room for him and when he walked in, he was immediately irritated and acted as if I shouldn't be there to see him."
