Dr. Charles P. Chalko, DO

General Practitioners

Arthritis
From our first meeting, the doctor put me at ease. He and his team took x-rays that showed I had severe rheumatoid arthritis. He immediately put me in touch with a rheumatologist to help me get my disease under control. Once I did that, they were ready to operate on the first knee.
Medical Weight Loss
Healthy Weight for a Lifetime is a 10-week mindful living program that focuses on creating a long-term solution for weight loss by addressing the emotional, physical and nutritional issues contributing to obesity. Groups are limited and a physician's referral is required.
Stroke Rehabilitation
As the foundation of excellence, Mid Coast Hospital has been accredited by the Joint Commission since 1960. In 2009, Mid Coast Hospital became the first community hospital in Maine to be recognized as a Magnet™ hospital for excellence in nursing and patient care by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. It achieved Magnet™ designation for the third time in 10 years in 2019. It is also accredited by the Commission on Cancer. Mid Coast Medical Group practices are NCQA Level 3 designation. Mid Coast Hospital is a Joint Commission accredited Primary Stroke Center, one of only five in the State of Maine.

Pediatric Care
Mid Coast Hospital has all the services you expect from a high-quality community hospital such as a 24-hour Emergency Department, Intensive Care, Surgical Services, Medical/Surgical/Pediatrics, Pharmacy, Maternity Care, and Behavioral Health services. Outpatient services include Day Surgery, Laboratory, Diagnostic Imaging, Cardiac Catheterization, Interventional Radiology, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy, and Walk-In Care. Outpatient services at the Parkview campus include Day Surgery, Rehabilitation, Laboratory, and Diagnostic Imaging.
Primary Care
The best way to stay healthy and well is to see a primary care physician for regular check-ups. That way, problems can be caught early and treated, preventing them from becoming chronic concerns and avoiding far more expensive hospital care.
Sleep Disorders
Family Practice
Emergency Care
Emergency Department: One family member/caregiver is permitted to accompany patients who are in a private room. Pediatric patients may be accompanied by two parents/guardians. Exceptions may be made for care plan discussions as arranged with the care team or for end of life or as needed for care plan discussions.
Immunizations
Mid Coast Hospital urges you to be up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccination before visiting patients or others in the hospital. COVID-19 vaccinations, including booster shots, will help keep you and your loved ones safe while visiting.

Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmology

Gynecology
Obstetrics
Obstetrics: One spouse/coach can be present at all times for labor and delivery admission. One additional visitor at a time during scheduled visiting hours.
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
As one of the most - if not THE most - important days of my life, it has been etched into my memory as a time of joy, laughter, kindness, braveness, and teamwork! I did not have an easy labor by any means and am certain that my memory of it would be much less positive if it were not for all the nurses, docs, etc. who cheered me on and helped me proudly bring my beautiful daughter into the world. Special thanks to Dr. Anderson for always making me feel heard and giving me such great care throughout the entire journey. What an amazing group of people there is up in labor and delivery!

Internal Medicine
Gastroenterology
Urology
Nephrology
Cancer Care
Skillings also oversaw the growth of Mid Coast Medical Group, including the construction of new buildings for primary care practices in Bath and Topsham, as well as the establishment of Mid Coast Medical Groupâ€“Brunswick Primary Care and the Mid Coast Hospital Walk-In Clinic. She actively participated in the successful completion of a capital campaign that expanded wellness and cancer care offerings on the Parkview Campus and significant upgrades to Mid Coast Senior Health, including construction of a new wing and numerous facility renovations.

Neurology
John A. Taylor, DO, of Mid Coast Medical Groupâ€“Neurology was awarded the Louis Hanson, DO, Physician of the Year award by the Maine Osteopathic Association (MOA) at the groupâ€™s awards luncheon in June at the Samoset Resort in Rockland. According to the MOA, the award is presented to a DO who, "has demonstrated a high quality of practice, a compassionate interest in patients and a commitment to their community.â€

Mental Health
People with ALS require a wide variety of support as their condition advances including mobility, breathing, communication, nutrition and mental health. "We know our patients, we know the trajectory of this disorder and we can anticipate what theyâ€™ll need and when theyâ€™ll need it,â€ Taylor said.
Behavioral Health
The security personal went well beyond to make us feel comfortable and relaxed in such a stressful time. Every one was great and caring. When I had to leave, I felt a sense of security, as I knew she was in great hands. When I was able to visit the Behavioral Health department was outstanding and I couldn't have asked for better staff. A lot was one-on-one treatment and that's a plus in my book. That tells me you all actually care for your patients. Thank you!

A family member/caregiver may be invited into the care area near time of discharge to discuss care and assist in discharge. Exceptions can be made in advance for patients who do not live locally. Pediatric patients may be accompanied by two parents/guardians.
Orthopedics
I began having trouble with my knee in 2004. It would swell up and be very painful. It got worse over the next two years. It hurt to stand. I couldn't put any weight on it. At that time I went Mid Coast Medical Group- Orthopedics, and had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
Joint Replacement
Each of my surgeries, three months apart, was a little longer than most, as they had to do some bone repair and cyst removal in addition to the joint replacement, due to my long untreated rheumatoid arthritis, but I came through both of them fine.
Cyst Removal
Hip Replacement
The care and treatment I received during my hip replacement surgery was nothing but outstanding. The surgical team, staff of nurses, and therapists, as well as administrative personnel, could not have been more professional, efficient, and friendly. Your new facilities are impressive to say the least.
Knee Replacement
Now I am back to work, delivering 20-40 thousand pounds of products each day without any pain. Before my surgery, I was 56 years old and felt like I was 76. Now at 58, I feel like a 40 year old. Knee replacement surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Cyst

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
I was walking pretty well by the time I returned home and needed only a couple of weeks of further physical therapy.
Occupational Therapy
Once the decision was made, everything progressed very smoothly. There were no surprises. The surgery and my hospital stay went without a hitch. I got really wonderful nursing care, and physical and occupational therapy.
