  • There is no constructive criticism to give as I felt my experience was already met beyond my own expectations! It was quite refreshing and relieving to be in the care of a provider who cares. It's a hard thing to find back in Maine regardless of where you go! Thanks!

  • I was very grateful that Dr. Zhu found a way to see me so quickly. She seemed very knowledgeable about the specific diagnosis I have and also about my own medical record. She advocated for me by pushing to get the testing I need done next in the way she thinks will be most useful. She answered questions through the message portal personally and immediately, and she even followed up with a phone call personally to let me know she had scheduled the testing I need.

  • [redacted] I have to say this is the BEST doctors appointment I've had in ages. Dr. Zhu was the most thoughtful, intelligent, thorough doctor I've ever seen. She literally listened to all of my concerns and answered them so intelligently. She didn't make me feel dumb or like my questions were stupid. She stayed with me for an hour. An hour! Unheard of. She also had to talk about some serious issues (pregnancy) and she was firm but kind. I am so happy to be working with Dr. Zhu! She really is an exemplary example of what a doctor should strive to be. Thank you so much.

    2026-04-15

  • Dr. Zhu explained my medical situation in a clear, helpful and through way. She had obviously familiarized herself with my long situation. She gave me big picture and little picture understanding of my neurological challenges and care. I felt she cared very much that I understood the diagnosis and spent a great deal of time with me.Worries I asked about were addressed completely and quickly. How fortunate I am to be a patient of Dr Zhu.

  • LED screens are a migraine trigger for me. There is a giant one installed on the wall in front of the door. It did not even seem to be displaying any useful information, just general "welcome" stuff, so I don't know why it's even necessary! When I told staff how hard it was for me to sit in the waiting room covering my face with this screen on the wall, a staff member turned it off. The receptionist asked him in front of me why he was turning off the screen, and he told her it was a migraine trigger. When I came out of the provider's office, it was still off, but then someone turned it back on while I was still checking out - right next to it! Very painful! Of all the places in the world I would hope to be as free as possible of migraine triggers, a migraine clinic should be at the top of the list.

    2026-03-05

  • I'm always so impressed by this doctor and her ability to talk through preventative measures as well as a number of like alternative procedures that we can think about. She's always trying to think big in terms of how to solve my migraine issues and I just desperately appreciate it. So thank you.

    2026-03-02

  • This doctor was courteous, extremely helpful, totally knowledgeable. She explained everything in detail. It was easy to understand her explanations. She seemed to care about me and therefore all of her patients. I was impressed with her medically, personally, her attention to detail, her concern that I understand things well and understand consequences and benefits. She was just excellent.

    2026-02-23

  • Dr. Zhu is absolutely wonderful. I've been seeing her now for about two years and she's completely changed my migraines. I no longer get the intensity that I used to get or the frequency. So I would highly recommend her to any friends and family and they have seen a huge difference. just blows me away with her intelligence about health and is very easy to talk with and asks the right questions. So I wish I had seen her sooner for my migraines. Thank you.

    2026-01-30

  • [redacted] there was no time during the appointment for me to have input. The provider spoke so quickly I could not retain all that was said. [redacted] The provider put her hand up several times when I wanted to add or elaborate on something. I felt like I needed to be concerned with her needs more than mine. [redacted] I felt she was frustrated with my resistance to go on certain medications that cause weight gain, and felt there was a bit of attitude in her regarding that. I feel it is extremely important to be treated as part of the team when it comes to my care. I am very involved with self healing strategies, cognitively and through physical therapy.

  • Seeing my provider that i didn't know before and i thought she would be amazing, but in reality i wish i had never gone she didn't hear me out at all and when it came to the end someone had knocked and me medicine wasn't going through and instead of making sure she was worried about who knocked and rushed us out! I also didn't like the fact she made my father sit down and sit right infront of her as she demanded! I felt like i wasn't heard [redacted]

    2025-11-08

  • Dr. Zhu was incredibly knowledgeable and smart. I think the only thing that could have been better for me was for her to be willing to hear some of my experience that wasn't totally on point maybe or directly related to what she wanted but I felt was relevant information and she cut me off several times from doing that.

    2025-10-29

  • she definitely used her expertise to start the process to diagnose me. and she was able to schedule my MRI's.

    2025-10-23

  • The doctor seemed to want to be somewhere else. I was not able to complete most sentences. I felt unheard and disrespected. I was made to feel as if I was bothering the doctor. The meeting took around ten minutes.

    2025-10-22

  • I felt so lucky to see Dr. Zhu. She was personable. She was articulate. She was smart. She was thoughtful in her responses. She was very thorough in the medication follow-up. She was interested in who I was as a person and as a patient. She knows that I have been on a weight loss journey, and she was very interested in that without being judgmental. I couldn't say enough about her, both as a physician and as a human being. She was really wonderful, and so was her staff, and it was a great opportunity. You're very lucky to have her and anyone who is her patient is extremely lucky to be under her care, myself included.
