I was impressed that Dr Soares had really looked into my history before coming into the room to see me and explain why she was doing what she was doing. I honestly don’t feel that many providers do this and I felt extremely comfortable with Dr Soares because of this. Thank You Dr Soares!

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

As we had to do the appointment over the phone at this time, it was a good appointment. Feeling relieved I didn't have to go in at this time and the doctor was helpful over the phone to explain and answer my appointment

One recommendation is to improve the johnny that we have to wear. The strings don’t work. It makes you feel very uncomfortable

Everything was done well, this was a meet and greet. I had been searching for a new OB and after I spoke with Dr Soares, I was convinced that I had found the person that I've been looking for for a while. She was thorough she was very personable. I could feel a connection to her. She was knowledgeable. She took time she took a lot of time for this first visit. So thank you so much Dr. Sares, and I will be seeing you at my next scheduled appointment. Goodbye.

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.
