In a time where health care has difficult challenges with Covid and staffing crunches, I would say this office did a phenomenal job. I received a phone call from the nurse manager to schedule my appointment. She took the time to understand my concerns and arrange an appointment with the most appropriate provider for my needs. On arrival the staff was kind and courteous. The Doctor made me feel comfortable and relaxed, listened to all my concerns and did not make me feel rushed. I have already recommended her to a friend. This definitely was a "more than medicine" experience!

They called me asking if I want to join them. When I get there they ask me why I'm there. They had access to my file and I feel they didn't read it. The service I got I could have gotten over the phone instead of traveling.

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.
