Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Experience!
From my first interaction with Dr Kuether I had a great experience. His personable, approachable style made me very comfortable. His PA Jonathan and Nurse Navigator Liz made the pre- and post-op experience smooth. I highly recommend Dr Kuether and his team!

Medically and personally exceptional
From the first meeting with Dr. Kuether, Jonathan, and Elizabeth; that is pre surgery; their personal and professional approach to my issues was outstanding. Guiding me through the process pre surgery and a caring follow up after the surgery, was exceptional.

Great Doctor!
Dr. Kuether did my husbands hip replacement and it couldn’t have gone better. He explained the whole process and what to expect afterwards. He has a great bedside manner and very knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon for a hip or knee replacement. Thanks for getting my husband’s legs back to the same length! He walks normal again.

Superlative Hip Replacement
I knew with my initial visit with Dr. Kuether that he was the best surgeon to replace my worn and arthritic hip (I was soright). He described the entire procedure from that day through my complete recovery in detail. He showed me my x-ray and where my pain initiated from. I fully understood the surgery in detail, the pre and after care. He answered every question with forthright information. His team with kind, amazing, and always there for questions or advice. The hospital and joint replacement center was first rate. I met with two orthopedic surgeons and when meeting with Dr. Kuether I knew I found the very best. My surgery was scheduled as first procedure Monday morning. On Sunday afternoon, Dr. Kuether called from home to check in with me. My incision is minimal, four inches as promised. My recovery was easy and monitored. If I could give six stars to him and his team, I would. Maine is fortunate to have joint replacements performed by Justin Kuether. I am happily pain-free.

Full hip replacement - Dr. Kuether
Dr. Kuether was fully prepared to meet with me on the initial office visit and his preparedness was evident on each subsequent encounter as well. He was completely knowledgeable of my medical history. He communicates using language that allowed me to easily understand the condition of my right hip; what my remedial options could be, including full hip replacement surgery. He provided me with a post surgery timeline for recovery that couldn't have been more accurate. He has an excellent bedside manner. He has a very competent staff that supports him (and the patient). He answered any questions I posed. Dr. Kuether exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him.

The Super Surgeon..
Dr. K is just super as well as his team of medical professionals that make you feel like family. Because of the miracle of Dr. K's surgical skill, I'm nearly all pain free-what a Christmas miracle and gift after living in pretty severe pain for nearly 5 yrs!!. Also, he eliminated the length difference in my legs so I stand without fear of losing my balance. Was shocked as he came to see me in the Hospital! He's so compassionate. When recovering, his motto is ' less is more' but I told him to include 'but don't be a bore'. Dr. K's right there with you seemingly always as Jon his PA and of course Liz, his RN are constant sources of inspiration to just move but do so cautiously and guidance. Thus, 49 days PO today, I'm driving, squatting nearly in the full below parallel position, my friends at church say I'm walking like a teen ager. OP PT will be down to 1 day week during Christmas week and shortly thereafter I'm done!!! You've tried the rest now be with Dr. K, because he's THE BEST.
