Our Medical Providers

Who are our Primary Care Providers?

Dr. Allan S. Teel
Dr. Allan “Chip” Teel

ALLAN S. “Chip” TEEL M.D., a Board-Certified Family Physician since 1988, has been practicing in Damariscotta for 30 years, and also worked as Medical Director of Innovation at Eastern Maine Health. Chip received his M.D. in 1985 from Vermont College of Medicine. He’s a world-recognized innovator in the field of independent senior living.

As a Family Doctor, Chip has delivered babies and treated people of all ages with ailments and injuries of all types. He particularly loves to work with our older patients, and with patients with complex chronic conditions. In 2020, he launched a Research Program, Reverse Cognitive Decline, for patients who would like to reduce their risk of Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

Chip has served as the Medical Director for both Cove’s Edge Nursing Home and Lincoln Home Assisted Living. He is the co-founder of ElderCare Network, which runs the seven “Greens” — small, home-like assisted living residences serving 60 people, mostly over 85, on state assistance. Chip is also the founder and CEO of Full Circle America, which provides remote video monitoring, telemedicine, and care coordination to seniors living in their own homes.

MELODY REES, RN, FNP-C, is a Family Nurse Practitioner who treats patients of all ages, with most conditions. Melody has been practicing medicine since 2010, first as an RN and then as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

Time to Schedule Your Annual Wellness Visit? Combine it with a Physical Exam

Medicare wants every senior to have an Annual Wellness Visit, even if you’re not sick. The purpose of an Annual Wellness Visit is to keep you well. In a Wellness visit, you focus on prevention, health goals, and advance planning. A physical exam is more thorough and is also recommended annually. Did you know you […]

As a community we can:

1. Take local control of our primary health service.

2. Establish a patient-driven primary care practice model

3. Increase access and use primary health care services appropriately.

4. Make both individual and community-wide choices that will result in improved health status.

1. Get a higher percentage of the population into an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider.

2. Reduce perhaps by half the number of unnecessary Emergency Department and Urgent Care visits.

3. Achieve a demonstrable improvement in the health status of the community.
