Reply to comment by BracedRhombus in Maine residents - what do you find positive and negative about your state's low population density? by LockedOutOfElfland

This is the biggest issue for me, very limited doctors, dentists and veterinarians. I need a new pcp and can’t find one with any availability before June 2023. A family member needs to go to mass general for medical care. I wish we could attract more skilled healthcare workers.

Agreed. I notice almost every industry up here, especially dentists and doctors are lacking. The doctors are the WORST. My dad almost died from a simple broken bone by going to the hospital. And I've had to wait a year to get into a dentist, and when I did, they had to redo the cavity filling 4 times, at 2 different dentists offices and it STILL isn't right.
