Mary Ellen Fiske, MD, MS, NAMS

"Dr. Fiske delivered all 3 of my babies. She is a wonderful Dr. I highly recommend her. She is compassionate and really listens. She saved my daughter’s life, as well as showed amazing bedside manner through a very heartbreaking loss."

"As a middle-aged woman, I initially scheduled an appt with Dr. Fiske because she is credentialed with NAMS and I wanted to talk about perimenopause. At my first appt, I had her do my annual because I was there anyway. Unfortunately, she discovered things were not normal. (As an aside, I’m trying not to be mad that I had major symptoms of issues forever that somehow several other providers missed, causing me to live with unnecessary pain and discomfort for years.) I ended up needing a endometrial biopsy followed by a total hysterectomy, salpingectomy (fallopian tube removal) and oophorectomy (ovary removal, just one). Truthfully, after a very traumatic gyno visit a few years ago, was absolutely terrified of all this, but Dr. Fiske was so reassuring, gentle, and patient — not to mention she knows her stuff. Through the whole process (being the Nervous Nelly than I am), I was running everything past a brilliant APRN friend of mine who I would literally trust with my life, and she repeatedly said that Dr. Fiske renews her faith in medicine and is — and I quote — a “rockstar” and a “unicorn”. Can’t really get a better endorsement than that! Anyway, my surgery was as uneventful as such a thing can be. I just saw her again for a follow-up, and to pick up where we left off with the perimenopause discussion. I feel very lucky to have found her, and confident that she’s the right person to help me make well-informed choices during this wacky time in my life."

"Dr. Fiske was extremely compassionate and made me feel very comfortable during my visit. I am so thankful to her for listening to my concerns and validating them. Many times I have felt that my concerns were brushed off and I didn’t feel that way today with her. I will definitely recommend her in the future."

"Thanks to Mary Ellen we have a healthy 8 year old girl. At a routine office visit Mary Ellen detected a heart defect which resulted in emergency c-section. Had this not been detected, our daughter may not have survived. I was rushed to DHMC Lebanon and referred to pediatric cardiology. Hours later we had a beautiful baby girl. The staff was amazing. I learned after my daughter’s birth how critical her heart condition was. I feel so fortunate to have had Mary Ellen as our practitioner. I never felt alarmed. She was calm and forthcoming about her concerns throughout this process. She made me feel hopeful. She detected things quickly, displayed competence, and quickly referred us to specialists who save my daughter’s life. We are forever grateful."

"I was having a normal labor with extraordinary midwives and then my daughter got stuck. Instead of giving me any real direction she just yelled at me, if it wasn't for my husband making the suggestion to tilt my hips in a certain way who knows how long my daughter would have remained stuck. She was rude and had no tact. A friend of mine had her, and without any real proof she tells her husband that her baby is going to die causing my friend to have a panic attack and put on oxygen when the baby came out perfectly healthy. I hope she sees this review and at the bare minimum attempts to be friendly to women in labor and not act like a soul less drone. This experience is supposed to be a beautiful one and she ruined it for me and my friend."
