This was my first visit with Barbara Soares, NP. It was an excellent appointment. She took the time to carefully review not only my GYN history but my whole health profile. She offered me some great input and education about a medication I've been taking, including how to administer it. She answered my questions with patience. A wonderful provider!!

I was really impressed with Dr Barbara Soares. She has a wonderful bedside manner & is extremely knowledgeable. Most Dr's are not good at providing the education piece regarding a patient's diagnosis/issue but Dr Soares does a great job effectively communicating information to her patients. I would highly recommend her!

I chose this provider due to her genuine caring personality and her expertise in her field. I had an opportunity to see another provider with an earlier appointment that was a shorter distance for me to travel, however this provider makes me feel comfortable and I trust her to give me honest answers and good care so distance didn't matter. Dr. Soares is the best!

It seemed rushed, brief, impersonal. I felt like I was just given cookie cutter treatment. But she was knowledgeable and efficient, and I got what I can for. I don't know if someone who knew less about their current perimenopause situation would have?

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.
