Patricia Greatorex, MD, General Surgeon with Maine Medical Center – Scarborough Campus and Mid Coast Medical Group–Breast & Surgical Oncology

Get to know General Surgeon Dr. Patricia Greatorex who serves the population of Brunswick, Maine

As a board-certified general surgeon, Dr. Patricia Greatorex specializes in breast care for both benign conditions and breast cancer. She practices at Maine Medical Center – Scarborough Campus & Mid Coast Medical Group–Breast & Surgical Oncology in Brunswick, Maine. 

“I have the pleasure of reassuring many patients that they don’t have breast cancer. For other patients, it is a privilege to journey with them from the shock and fear of the initial diagnosis of breast cancer, to surgery, and to a final follow-up visit 5 to 10 years later as a survivor” as stated by the doctor.

She is affiliated with Maine Medical Partners (since 2013), MaineHealth Accountable Care Organization (since 2007), MaineHealth Cancer Care Network, Maine Medical Center – Portland, and Mid Coast Hospital – Brunswick. 

MaineHealth is a not-for-profit family of high-quality providers and health care organizations committed to the health and well-being of the communities and people served. As the largest healthcare organization in Maine and a leading health care provider serving northern New Hampshire, MaineHealth is recognized as one of the nation’s top integrated health care delivery networks.

After earning her medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine in 1990, Dr. Greatorex went on to complete her residency in general surgery at Eisenhower Army Medical Center.

Shortly thereafter, she became board-certified in surgery by the American Board of Surgery, an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge.

General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. A general surgeon performs a wide range of abdominal surgeries for many forms of intestinal and abdominal wall neoplasms, gallbladder disease, gastric and pancreatic disease. They follow the patient through critical care and surgical recovery all the way to outpatient care. 

Outside of the office, Dr. Greatorex enjoys spending time with her family and spending time outdoors in Maine skiing, hiking, and on the water.
