Nothing to improved
Staff is very pleasant
Dr. Shapiro and his staff work well together. They should continue on their path,
He was very kind and listened to me!
Personal, specific to my needs directly connected with my questions and gave appropriate answers
I filled out a questionnaire in MyChart the previous day to speed up my check in but, was asked all the same questions at my check in and in the examination room I was asked an additional set of questions I had already answered in MyChart the previous day. So it looks like something is broken…
The service was excellent from the moment that I walked in and checked in to meeting with the nurse and then meeting with the doctor. He was extremely thorough, extremely helpful, great bedside manner, and truly seemed to care and take an investment in what I was needing.
I love my doctor, he listens and understands me very well. Thank you. Dr. Shapiro.
Office staff and medical staff were welcoming and efficient
Be on time for appointments and spend time getting to know your patients. I feel like I am usually seen late and rushed thru my appointment. That's why I hesitate to even go to the provider. My old provider who retired always spent time to listen and get to know me as a patient.
Everything Dr. Shapiro did was perfect. He came in, examined me, asked questions, answered my questions. Everything went perfect. It couldn't have gone any better. So he was great.
Every thing was fine.
Efficient
Staff was friendly and helpful. I didn't have to wait long. PA was informative and answered my questions. She made sure my appointments were scheduled and informed the doctor of my needs.
They greeted me with a good morning and promptly reviewed my appointment details. The check-in process was easy.
Dr. John Shapiro is an outstanding PCP who I greatly rely on for EXCELLENT care. I am most fortunate to have had him and his staff tend to my health issues during my old age.
Every time I am seen at this facility, no matter which provider/specialist I see, I am treated with kindness and respect from all staff members. From the hello to the explanation of meds or treatment I never leave thinking I missed something or I didn't get exactly what I came in for. 10 stars
Late day appointment was delayed for an additional half hr, kind of expected at the end of the day though. Other than that the appointment was fine, dr touched on all points and a couple of new ones. I think we get to know each other better now that he's established.
As always,all the staff was knowledgeable and polite
South Coast is amazing. The doctors are awesome and caring. The support staff is kind and accommodating. I can highly recommend South Coast to my family and friends.
awsome
Everything was wonderful.
We talked everything we needed to me understand my health very great service
You listen
I wish they did not have to ask me my information (address, phone number etc..) out loud so others can hear it, I think I will just hand them a paper with my information on my next visit
This was our first meeting and he took the time to study my history before hand.
The staff was attentive, compassionate and aware of my health concerns. They took me seriously, were kind and caring. They were reassuring and made me feel comfortable regarding my health issue. They shared advice on how to continue to maintain my health.
Very little waiting, friendly staff,good experience.
So very pleased with the level of care I receive with Dr. John Shapiro. He is efficient, knowledgeable,compassionate and patient.He was able to address my health concerns and referred me to Southcoast Weight Management for overweight issues. I received my flu shot during this visit, and have an appointment for labs,annual exam and bone density in 2025. Thank you kindly Dr Shapiro and team for taking such good care of your patients.
I'm so happy I finally have a physician that actually cares about his patients. From the first day I contacted Dr. Shapiro, he's done everything he can to help me improve my health. And that means a lot coming from me, because I've seen countless doctors over the past 20 yrs. And not one of them has been as helpful as Dr. Shapiro.
I had a number of questions after having care by specialists about issues that were confusing. Dr. Shapiro explaining everything to me clearly, with patience and to my satisfaction. Really helped clear up a lot of confusion on my part relative to my care.
This office is on time,to the point,and makes me feel comfortable.
Always friendly and actually know why I am there
Courteous, timely, respectful. Excellent experience
I love my new doctor. He listens and he explains everything fairly well. I felt comfortable and understood.
Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Long walk from car to office area for someone with a walker. Might use wheelchair next time just to get there faster.
