    This is the first time that I did anything online like this, the tele health and it certainly went I really had no idea what I was doing and the doctor was really wonderful about setting it up and explaining and going through the whole process, and it really turned out to be a very fast economical and nice way to do it. So I was very happy with the way the whole system went and now I'm very very happy about the whole experience. Thank you.

    My appointment was for a physical. To me that means an in person visit checking blood pressure and listening to heart and lungs etc.Yearly physical should be in person appointment.

    Dr. Addo is a wonderful doctor whose advice and judgment I trust completely. I asked her about a disagreement between my optometrist and eye surgeon about whether I should have laser surgery (not my idea), and the advice she gave me in lay language was to the point and very helpful to me. I had been stumped about what to do next, but can now see a way forward.

    Given the COVID-19 situation, the telehealth visit was a good option. We switched from phone to facetime. I prefer having video because I think it improves communication. Dr. Addo was very aware of my health record and made a plan with me for follow-up appointments.

    As always Dr. Addo was completely thorough and reviewed everything that was important, that was needed to be discussed; and I had an overall very good visit, first time Telehealth visit; and she not only knew about the medical issues. She also help me to get the best out of the Telehealth part of the technical part of getting the sound right, et cetera. It was a very good experience, and I was apprehensive before that. I'm 72 years old. I don't do technology real well, but it was a very good experience. And as usual she is a wonderful doctor. She's so thorough, and I'm very pleased with her.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings.  Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and  Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office.  The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
