Every single staff person that I dealt with was superb, polite, thorough, professional and knowledgeable. I'm grateful for all of them, especially Billie Burke! Really, everyone at Southcoast has been wonderful.
Billie Burke is a fantastic PA and I love to be able to have her as my Physician. I just wish she had an office closer than in Newport. It is a very long ride, but I will not leave her as my Physician. She listens to everything I have to say and doesn't push me out. I really appreciate her.
This was my first visit and I was so impressed, from check in to checkout.Everyone was friendly & professional.
You listened! I'll take that anyday
I am completely satisfied. No improvements needed.

Another great session with Billie Burke
Billie is as amazing! She is so down to earth and listened to all my concerns. Very personable! I felt very comfortable with her.

Billie was a great listener and provided excellent care!
Provider shows more interest and attention to my health status than any since a primary MD that attended to me for many years before his retirement
This was my first experience with Billie Burke and her team. Everyone that I had contact with was professional, helpful, and very pleasant.
Everything was perfect from the moment I walked in and from when I left. Everyone is so kind and helpful.
I appreciate the coordination of care when requiring a specialist or well care testing. Billie Burke always listens carefully to my concerns and is not afraid to seek out opinions/recommendations from other providers. I am an employee of another health care group with in network rules but Billie and staff try and work with me when able so I do no inquire substantial medical bills.
Everyone I encountered was helpful and caring.
Super clean office and so well organized, staff is very efficient
Billie was understanding of my and my wife medical problems.
Having followed B.Burke after many years at one "group" I am very happy that I stayed with her and enjoy being seen at the facility in Newport. The staff are very personable and always helpful when necessary! The only draw back for me is I have to go over 2 bridges to get there!! I am pleased with this group and their staff, especially B. Burke! Can't think of anytjing, right now, to improve this!
Everyone made it to a very pleasant environment I felt like I was cared for about a doctors and staff and they were very pleasant.
I was seen in a very timely manner and labs were run quickly. On antibiotics within an hour. Very satisfied
Billie Burke excellent PA office staff excellent!
I "walked in" to ask if I could be seen for a very uncomfortable UTI. I realize this is not a walk in clinic but i needed some relief, and I am glad and grateful that I was seen promptly and with care.

It was easy to get an appointment at last minute and I was met in a timely fashion. Everyone was friendly.
Requested a same day appointment and was accommodated. Provider understood the concern immediately and discussed options. Provider was very friendly and easy to talk to. Provider said to call right away if symptoms change.

My first visit was in December when I had the flu and i was treated extremely well…best experience I had in a medical facility in a long time.

I am new to the practice and was very pleased with my appointment. My RN was knowledge and professional and my provider Billie Burke was exceptional. She listened to me thoroughly and together we determine a practical plan of care.
The experience in the office was a 10. Going through this survey on the phone, I got the first answer wrong. It was not a telehealth visit. It was an in-office visit. That's all.
