Samantha is genuinely concerned about treating our dermatology needs and takes the time to make methodical and accurate diagnoses. Sam is an exceptional provider and an even more amazing, kind, loving and special person. I would recommend Samantha Mitchell, DCNP to any patient in need of dermatology treatment.

“

It’s not easy to make each patient feel that he/she is the most important to their doctor but that is exactly how my family feels when Samatha Mitchell, DCNP treats us. We have dermatology providers much closer to where we live in Caribou, Maine, but chose Samantha because of her expertise in her field. She has a gift that makes us feel more like family members than patients.

I’ve had several dermatologists prior to receiving care from Dr. Whalen. Dr. Whalen takes the time to examine/diagnose & explain the various treatment options. Dr. Whalen has always been on time. I’ve never had to wait past my appointment time - usually I arrive 15 min. early & am seen in under 10 min. Dr. Whalen & her support staff have provided superior care!
