Dr. Christine Blake Smith, DO

Dr. Blake and her team have been instrumental in my health journey. The office is inviting and clean without the “clinical” feeling of traditional dr offices. The team is kind, respectful and they take the time to know you and accommodate your specific health needs every visit. Dr. Blake has excellent bedside manner and is always putting me at ease during appointments. Dr. Blake is highly educated and is always pursuing knowledge to benefit her clients. Any question I’ve asked, she answers and usually tells me a study she read. I trust her judgement explicitly as we tailor my health plan and goals. I can’t recommend her enough!

I went in for a meet and greet, having had very complex health issues and difficulty getting help. I poured out my heart and some of my worst issues, which are very hard to talk about. She seemed reticent but agreed to take me as a patient. Next morning I had a message in my portal that she had PRAYED about it and couldn't see me. This even floored another provider I see. If you have serious issues and anxiety beware. She's probably fine if you're not suffering PTSD over your health. I thought people who prayed were trying to emulate the compassion they claim to have. This was devastating to me. DEVASTATING.

Dr. Blake Smith is always available when you need her. My wife and I have been patients of her practice for over five years and we are extremely satisfied. She is very thorough and explains our health issues so we can understand. We had a recent experience where Dr. Blake Smith extended critical care in conjunction with a Rheumatology specialist. She deserves a five star rating.

Dr Blake Smith was very thorough with everything and explained all my test results so that I could understand them..took the time for all of my questions.

Finding Dr. Blake Smith and her wonderful staff has made our decision to move to Maine from the West Coast that much easier for us. I feel we are in such good hands. Dr. Blake Smith is wise and thoughtful and her staff are utterly professional and responsive and willing to go the extra mile. Very satisfied with this practice.

this "doctor" is abelist and dangerous. Years ago I went to see her to discuss my POTS and fibromyalgia. These conditions are nerve damage caused by years of hiding my autism and allowing others to bully me into thing is should not have been doing. When I mentioned my ASD and subsequent trauma, how I think it all ties into this, she said, and I will never forget, even years later. "You are so high functioning it doesn't matter." Can you imagine spending you whole life hiding something society tells you is shameful and even giving yourself permanent nerve damage just to avoid inconveniencing others, only to be told the underlying condition causing it doesn't matter? because it doesn't inconvenience others?? This person has no business being a doctor and I fear for any future autistic patients she may have. Her use of functioning labels in the first place should have tipped me off. She kicked me when I was down and I will never forget that.

Very good, efficient but truly listened. When there were multiple possible causes, she set up next steps including local and cost-effective options.

I consider myself very fortunate to have found Dr. Blake. I consistently feel like I am a priority and feel like they always go above and beyond. Dr. Blake compassionate and easy to talk to. Thanks to Dr. Blake and Tara I feel like there is always an open channel when I have questions or concerns. They truly are an asset to my health and well being.

Excellent practice, very thorough, no rush job.

Staff is very welcoming and friendly. They all their jobs well and treat you as a patient without being rushed or herded through as so many medical practices do these days, Dr. Blake Smith takes time to go over results and explain things so well. It is a very comfortable process and 100% know I am in the best of hands. i highly recommend!

Dr. Blake Smith truly takes the time to listen to her patients and address anything that needs to be discussed. She stays up to date on so much in the medical field. I am always impressed by her medical knowledge. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Blake Smith as my PCP.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr Blake for three years. The extra time and testing that she conducts through the MDVIP program pays off with detailed results that will guide you to better health. It’s helped me and my wife tremendously. The physical exams take almost 2 hours between blood work, testing and discussion with Dr. Blake, she schedules periodic follow up inperson at a frequency that may be 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the patient. She provides prompt referrals when specialty treatment is needed and is an advocate for her patients to ensure they receive prompt attention. She and her staff respond to requests for help promptly and do their best to see a patient in need within 24 hours. Her practice is so much better than the profit centric medical groups where the doctors are pressured to minimize the time they spend with patients and to follow Medicare guidelines only. Dr Blake goes well beyond that and more for her patients.

Dr Blake and her team are knowledgeable, professional and understanding explaining each situation and options in language I can understand. They quickly respond to my additional questions. I recently went to a specialist who left me feeling confused from the appointment as to the diagnosis and next steps. There were several errors in the visit summary and His response was “I only had an hour”! Dr Blake took the time to explain the summary and address the errors. It’s a “family” practice, with the goal of finding answers however long it takes!

Dr. Blake Smith is one of the few doctors left remaining who truly cares about her patients, who makes herself accessible, who thinks critically and clearly about their needs, who goes above and beyond when trying to obtain services for her patients. At a time were apathy is the rule in medicine, Dr. Blake Smith is the exception. She is kind, caring, intelligent, gifted, and I feel truly blessed and secure having her as my doctor.

Best doctor ever! Listens and always fixes my issues! Love her!

I have been a patient of Dr. Blakes for several years. She has cared for and guided me through several medical issues, taking time to explain the diagnosis and plan of care, in simple language! I always have additional questions which she and her staff quicky address through the Portal. As I shared my satisfaction with her care with my fiancé he decided to join her practice! She has an amazing staff, very efficient, friendly and funny which I love!! They take the edge off what can be a stressful situation.

I have been a part of her practice for many years and I would recommend her to any of my friends, coworkers, and family.
