    Dr Gorski and staff .... esp... [Name] and [Name] were kind, personable, and listened to what I had to say!!! Great job ladies!!!

    It would be great if my dr remembered what we discussed in my previous appointment (which was changing my meds) and knowing the previous meds I was on. We discussed switching my meds in my previous appointment because they weren't helping. Then I was put back on the same meds (that weren't helping) because the appointment was delayed by 5 hours and she said all the staff had went home and she couldn't get any information about what meds my insurance would accept. I called the office a few days later to make another appointment (because I wasn't satisfied with the unhelpful, short and late appointment previously) and found out that they had already scheduled an appointment for 2 months later. Very confusing to me considering we had discussed changing my meds and she said she would find out the next day what meds my insurance accepted and now my next appointment is being scheduled over 2 months later. I do like my current provider and would like to continue to see her but it would be nice if we were on the same page knowing what we discussed in previous appointments.

    First in person visit and I was very impressed. She really seemed to recognize my needs and was trying to help and wasn't judgmental. Frequently when you have pain relief problems medical personnel think you just want pain meds.

    When you first when you first started asking me the questions, I was pressing the wrong button. So if I could please have this done again, Dr. Gorski was excellent it and their office workers were just as excellent. So I apologize for pressing the wrong button.

    Yes, my name is [Name] [Name], and I have been Allison Gorski's patient for a number of years now. So, probably since she started. I've always been happy with the information that she gives me, if I don't understand, I'll tell her, and she'll clarify it for me. I couldn't be any more satisfied with what I receive, the care that I receive at South Coast, and in particular, Dr. Gorski has been above and beyond. I've been ill a long time and I'm anxious so I'm familiar with doctors, and she is tops. I, this, there's not enough to say good about her. She's wonderful and she's kept me alive a long time.

    Dr. Gorski is always kind and respectful and very knowledgeable. My main complaint both telehealth and in person is the lateness of the appointments. She is very late very time, sometimes hours late! The scheduling should allow more time for each patient so this doesn't happen.

    Allison Gorski is very up to date with all of medical things that she was talking to me about. A very kind lady and very gentle and she has to give you the shot grating elbow. I really, really, really like this group and the staff it even with the virus, they were all good. I mean everybody was taken care of each other's and your social distancing, and there's nothing that I would say that would change because you guys do a great job and I thank you very much.

    I've been with Dr. Gorski be for approximately 14 to 15 years. She knows when she knows my problems and she's always there to help she has discovered things that my primary care has missed. So I have the utmost respect for her and I trust her with everything she tells me. She is the best.

    I can honestly say if it wasn't for Dr Gorski I would not be able to function the way I do. With her help I am able to go to work, able to do things with my family, able to just complete day to day tasks. She has always been there for me. Very attentative and understanding which many doctors lack today. She understands where you are coming from and determines your care based on her ability to treat. I would bit be where I am today if ot for her. I owe her so much. Just the ability to have some quality of life means everything to me and her. I will never be able to thank her enough for all she does. I highly recommend her to anyone.

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.
