Home-based primary care throughout the Oxford Hills region and Lewiston-Auburn area of Maine
Second Mountain Internal Medicine provides home-based primary care to homebound seniors throughout Oxford County and the Lewiston-Auburn area of Androscoggin County. Dr. Matulis comes to you, whether you live on a town road, a rural route, or in an assisted living community in the Oxford Hills area.
Transportation should never be a barrier to primary care. Dr. Matulis built this practice around patients who can't easily make it to a clinic: people across the Oxford Hills region who deserve the same quality of care available in major medical centers, delivered at home.

Oxford County's largest town and county seat, Norway and South Paris are at the heart of the Oxford Hills region. Many seniors in this area rely on home-based primary care because transportation to Lewiston or Portland is impractical.
Part of the Lewiston-Auburn metro area, Auburn is Androscoggin County's second-largest city and home to a significant senior population. We serve homebound patients throughout Auburn who prefer care at home over clinic visits.
Maine's second-largest city, Lewiston has a large and diverse senior community. For residents who find office visits difficult, Dr. Matulis provides the same standard of internal medicine care without leaving home.
A rural community between Auburn and the Oxford Hills, Turner is home to many older adults for whom transportation to medical appointments is a real challenge, especially through Maine winters.
A small Oxford Hills community and home to Dr. Matulis himself, Hebron and its surrounding area is a core part of our service area. Rural patients here benefit most from care that comes to them.
Located between Auburn and the Oxford Hills, Minot is a rural community where getting to a primary care office can be difficult for older adults who no longer drive or who have significant health limitations.
A rural Oxford County community along the Androscoggin River, Buckfield is within our regular service area. Homebound patients here receive full primary care without the drive to a clinic.
Adjacent to South Paris and Norway in the heart of Oxford County, Paris is surrounded by rural communities. Seniors in this area who struggle with transportation are a natural fit for home-based primary care.
We also serve patients in Otisfield, Mechanic Falls, Poland, Oxford, Greenwood, Waterford, West Paris, and other Oxford Hills communities. Call us to confirm your town is covered.
Oxford County is one of Maine's most rural regions, and for many older adults the nearest hospital or specialty clinic is a long drive away. Reaching Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston or Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway can mean 30 to 60 minutes each way, often on winding rural roads that turn treacherous in ice and snow. For a senior who has stopped driving, that trip depends on a family member taking time off work, or on limited rural transportation that in many towns does not exist at all.
The result is that primary care quietly gets skipped. Blood pressure goes unchecked, medications are not adjusted, and small problems grow into emergencies. Home-based primary care removes the drive entirely. Dr. Matulis brings the exam, the medication review, and the follow-up to the patient's kitchen table, on their schedule, through every Maine season.
We regularly travel throughout Oxford County and the Lewiston-Auburn area of Androscoggin County, including Norway, South Paris, Auburn, Lewiston, Turner, Hebron, Minot, and Buckfield. If you are near the edge of that area, call or text 207-492-4642 and we will tell you right away whether we can reach you.
No. There is no separate travel charge for a home visit within our service area. Visits are billed to Medicare much like an ordinary office visit. Call us to verify coverage for your specific plan.
Yes. In addition to private homes, we see homebound patients in assisted living and residential care settings across the Oxford Hills region, as long as the patient meets Medicare's homebound criteria. Call us to confirm for your facility.
Maine winters are exactly why home-based care matters here. We plan visits around the weather and will reschedule if travel becomes genuinely unsafe, but our entire model is designed to keep seeing patients through the seasons when getting to a clinic is hardest.
