    Phone system kept hanging up on me and the doctor. She has to call me back three times. Then she said she would send my meds to pharmacy an book my injections. It would have been better if there were no interruption.

    Dr.Gorski has been my pain management Doctor for 20 years. I met her at [Name] [Name] 's hospital 20 years ago. She left to come to Southcoast Brain and Spine Center. I followed her to Southcoast. She is one of or the finest Dr's I have ever known and I have been disabled for 30 years now. Her team in the office as well as the team at the surgical center are top notch. I don't know what I would have done if I did not find Dr.Gorski. They are the hallmark of pain management programs in South Eastern New England.

    Everything was the way, it should be. The way a doctor should handle her patient, or his patient. Concerned about why they need her help, concered and talked about what medications would be best or right for them. And the bed side manner of Dr. Allison Gorski is more than excellent. If that's possible. She is a very conscientious conscientious doctor and very aware and caring of her patients. I wish doctors would were like Allison Gorski. She is one of a kind.

    Verified Patient

    I really appreciate the continued ability to access a telehealth visit since I work 40+ hours and it is more convenient than having to drive to the appt, wait in the waiting room then see the Dr. It really saves me alot of time and I truly appreciate that. I think that everyone at the Pain clinic has always been professional and compassionate.


  • Jul 19, 21

    I pay a very high cost for these appts. My care plan is either never given to the doctor's staff or the staff is in incapable of following instruction. I have nothing but a bill between appts. Every time my follow up visit consists of me, the patient communicating to the doctor what the staff has failed to do. I'm sent off with nothing but another bill and a 4-8 week wait.

  • May 20, 21
    Verified Patient

    to this provider and staff. She was very thorough and did not rush me, because I have had some major issues and being the first time that I met with her, and I have so many problems, and she gave me the time to tell her as much as I could remember. Just her allowing me to do that, was surprising, because I am a very complicated case and most just don't want to deal with me. Being disabled, especially when it is rare and even many doctors have never had a patient with it, which gives me no one to turn to and ask questions to help me understand what is next. That is why it is so important that I am heard so the doctor or the NP, can do their best, to make me as comfortable as I can be. That was the second time that I have seen her and if my opinion matters, I hope that others can try her and find a plan, so they can do and improve their lives or for people like me know that we are not crazy and that someone cares! Those last words in the previous sentence, really, truly, honestly can give someone hope and that can make them keep on fighting because when they stop the timer ? goes on!

  • May 17, 21
    Verified Patient

    It would have been helpful if the provider had the time to answer questions, explain procedures, and inform this patient of the name of the treatment provided, ie the names of the injections given at this appointment. This patient left this first appointment confused and near tears. This was not a positive experience.

  • Apr 22, 21

    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.

    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.


  • Dec 13, 20
    Verified Patient

    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.

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.
