Dr. Pope is always caring. He always takes time to listen. I followed him to Southcoast. He has been my OBGYN for 17 years. He has helped me through some complicated issues. It always takes a long time to get my annual scheduled but I know if I had a real issue I would be seen promptly. I know by the end of the day he will probably be backed up but I will always wait. I make my appointments for late in the day so I don't have to worry about going back to work. He is worth the wait. Office staff was super kind and polite as well.

Dr. Pope was one of the best providers I have ever encountered. I've been a nurse for a while, and I've obviously been a patient of other doctors in the past and he is one of the best providers I have encountered. This just happened to be a time where I was the patient and Dr. Pope was my provider and he took the time to sit and explain everything to me and answered any questions. He took his time. He made direct eye contact and he knew how to calm my nerves. In my opinion, Dr. Pope was born to be a doctor, he is doing exactly what he should be doing. I highly, highly recommend him. Even more so, to women that are nervous about seeing a male provider.u00A0

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.
