    The office has a lab now so it was very convenient to get my bloodwork done without going somewhere else.

    I would love to see a more holistic approach, not so many tests and more understanding of what is going on in the person's life. Being stressed, unhappy and not sleeping well all factors into a person's health. Things must change to a more organic way of treating people. A health coach is someone who could help the patients with living a healthier lifestyle.

    When I came in to register the person at the front desk was on the opposite desk she was on the phone and her cell phone as well she proceeded to yell across the desks to ask why we were there then she proceeded to ask us our information I had to shout my information back for everyone to hear when I return back I stopped to ask if I just go to the lab to get my lab work done she still was on both phones and trying to answer my question in the meantime speaking to two different people on the phone she stated to me to head over to the lab and the person would qualify me I sat there for about 5 minutes the person in the lab came out and said if I was waiting for labs I stated yes she then informed me that the person behind the desk to not put the orders in yet she continued to for my name she then stated the person at the front desk did not put the orders in right she then took my blood for the test I did not appreciate it having to yell my name for everyone to hear not very professional

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
