November 12, 2026
Waterville, ME – ConvenientMD Primary Care recently welcomed another new provider, Evan Merrill, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, to its new Waterville, ME, primary care practice, which is set to open in December. Merrill joins fellow providers Amy Kuhl, DO, Nora Glasspool, MD, and Robert Cianfarano, PA-C at the practice.
A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 8, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., featuring local delegates, representatives from the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce, a live DJ from 92 Moose, WMME, ConvenientMD leaders and providers and more.
“We look forward to inviting the community to our new primary care and urgent care facilities,” said ConvenientMD’s Chief Medical Officer, Kim Ariyabuddhiphongs, MD, MBA. “The need for high-quality healthcare in central Maine is immense. Bringing Evan aboard as our fourth primary care provider allows us to make real progress in lowering barriers for residents who, in some cases, have gone too long without a primary care provider.”
Prior to joining ConvenientMD, Merrill worked as a family nurse practitioner for Down East Community Hospital in Machias, ME. He has a Master of Science in Nursing from Rivier University in Nashua, NH, and two bachelor’s degrees from Keene State College, in Allied Health and Nursing respectively. Merrill is passionate about treating patients with hypertension, mental health disorders, diabetes, and helping patients achieve their fitness goals
“I believe all patients have a right to be respected, heard and have their questions addressed,” Merrill said. “Medicine is not black and white, and there are usually several different solutions to a problem.”

The Waterville practice will be ConvenientMD’s first ever co-located primary care and urgent care clinic. The two practices will occupy the same building in Waterville, but will operate separately, with each location featuring distinct modern, patient-centered designs tailored to its respective unique model of care. The urgent care clinic will treat minor illnesses and injuries and provide an advanced array of services, including X-rays, labs, occupational health and virtual care. Waterville will be ConvenientMD’s 12th urgent care clinic and 3rd primary care office in Maine.
Both the urgent care clinic and primary care practice are scheduled to open on Wednesday, December 9. Urgent Care will be open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., offering walk-in care for the community’s urgent illnesses and injuries. Primary Care will see patients by appointment and focus on preventive care, routine health needs and overall wellness. ConvenientMD Primary Care currently operates practices in Bangor and Portland, Maine, and in Exeter, Manchester and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
