Brian was very aware of my other doctors care and my history. He gave me a tetnuus shot that I needed and took an a1c test to check for diabetes and schedueled an pnumonia shot for me. He was great.
It was my first time seeing Brian Costa, NP. What a friendly, caring and compassionate provider. I'd see him again in a heartbeat!
Brian Costa, NP was prompt, professional, thorough and caring. He made me feel my health was very important to him and I left feeling good about my therapy plan. He walked me to X-Ray rather than just saying where to go. Exceptional.
It was first visit with Brian. If I could give him an 11 I would. Extremely knowledgeable & professional. He put me at ease within minutes. I would not hesitate to see him again. He sure is an asset to Southcoast.

The provider I've seen was Brian Costa. I'd have to say he's very conscientious, pays attention, reviewed my case before I even went in, talked about goals, where I've been, what I need to get better, and I just think he's very, very thorough, very understanding. His follow-up is fantastic. If I would recommend anybody there, I'd say he's top-notch.
