Dr. Hurteau was great as always. It was really convenient that there was an appointment for a physical on a Saturday as I work during the week and live out of town. It would be helpful if at least one of the labs was open for bloodwork on Saturdays.

The experience was good, blood work should be done right then and there, results should be given before I leave, so my doctor can tell me right then and there if I am healthy overall or not, taking my temperature and vitals seem useless to tell me anything about the important things, blood test would give the dr a good overall picture of my health now, thats what matters most to me

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.
