Dr Hurteau is down to earth, sincere and a true professional in every way. He lkistens and gives his opinions. His early worry over my rising PSA levels directed me to a urologist and consequently early action for prostrate cancer

I know it's not always feasible, but to have someone in the front office approach people in the waiting room and ask if they have questions or give them information regarding the procedures during Covid would be very helpful and reduce a lot of stress on people. I felt the office did ok, but I think a little more outreach would be helpful.

Hey, I just would like to say that Dr. Brett Hurteau and everybody down at the South Coast office they're doing fantastic job. I felt like I was treated amazingly every time I've seen Dr. Brett Hurteau for I believe last 5 or 6 years at this point it's always been a great experience and I really wouldn't have any other physician. I really do appreciate his time, energy. He definitely reviewed my chart, h asked me a lot of questions that pertain to my health care is great, you know leading up to the visit or once he got into the room is for a better way to put. He's a phenomenal physician and I just wanted to give my outstanding feedback regarding him and everybody else not to you know, not just give Brett Hurteau the physician all the credit but everybody down there is fantastic and I just really enjoyed my experience here. Thank you very much.

I changed my PCP in December so this is only the second time I have visited this provider. I feel comfortable and find it easy to speak with him. I was told because of the virus there was no checkout they would call me and give me an appointment for blood work. Did not hear from them for a week so had to call. Going for blood work tomorrow 7/24.

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.
