    The majority of the staff are super friendly & seem to genuinely care. The x-ray tech is especially kind. Dr. Chilhis is very knowledgable & shows compassion. He explains things thoroughly & uses x-rays to provide a clear picture of what's going on.

    I felt the doctor was very straight foward and hinest about my daughters ankle. He put her on the right path, letting her know she has responsibility in her recovery with certain exercizes and if things didnt improve she us to come back for further eval. He knew what her problem was very quickly. Experienced Doctor.

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.
