Everyone, beginning with the receptionist at the front, was so warm and friendly and professional. The nurse was extremely attentive and arranged an ultrasound for me immediately so I would not have to return later. Dr. Soares took a great deal of time with me and explained everything very carefully. I could not have had a better experience.

As I was new to the office, I feel that instructions as to where the exit was and how to check out were lacking slightly. My experience was a very good one

It was my first visit with Dr. Barbara Soares. She was wonderful! She was so pleasant, had great bedside manner, and really listened. As a 56 year old woman, it’s not always easy to see a gynecologist. I am so happy she is my new Doctor. Excellent for me!!

Everything was great but in this Covid pandemic may have been better to leave exam room door open for added ventilation during history review and intake questions Before the actual exam

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.
