I saw Dr. Skeehan for the first time he was very pleasant, he listened to all my concerns and he is working diligently to get to the root of the problem. His staff is awesome great work guys keep it up
Everyone was great. I left there with answers and relief for my problem. Steps were taken to make sure my problem is looked at further. Very happy with my visit.
One thing you did well for me was show me my X-rays of my knee. Because everywhere I went, nobody else did it. So I really appreciate that.
This was my initial visit and I was very pleased with him on how he listened, explained and suggested. I look forward to working with him to resolve my issues.
Very attentive team

I was seen in a timely manner. Dr. Skeehan was very informative and helpful. He got the ball rolling on a problem with my knee that I have been having for a long time.
Upon my visit with Dr. Skeehan well spoken Dr. Very honest about his diagnosis in my case made me feel very comfortable about my visit.
It was nice that I was able to get an appointment at my local South Coast instead of having to go to Fall River. So they were able to arrange the appointment when he came down to Middletown. So that made it extremely easy for me to get the appointment and I like that a lot. Thank you very much.
Dr. Christopher explained everything very well. I was very satisfied. I liked his demeanor, his manner, and looking forward to seeing him again. Thank you.
I was able to get an appointment in a reasonable timeframe and Dr. Skeehan is personable and explains things clearly.
got appointment same day, and saw the doctor who answered my questions. wait for surgery is a bummer
No complaints, whatsoever.
The entire staff at this office is pleasant and friendly while ensuring my visit is completed in a timely manner. Dr Skeehan and [Name] [Name] have done excellent work with resolving my relentless and excruciating knee pain due to osteoarthritis. Since having my surgery my knee has improved significantly and continues to improve. I'm so grateful to the entire care team for providing me with top notch support throughout this process.
Great discussion for options real outcome possible not sugar coated but real. Optimistic paths forward
Dr was very personable and listened to my concerns and answered them. Felt very comfortable talking to him
I felt very comfortable with the information he gave me!
You guys did an amazing job with my operation and I really should be saying I'm sorry to you because I was miserable yelling. I would refer you guys to anybody you guys are the best orthopedics I've been to and I'm glad yesterday he answered all my questions what I needed to do from this point on I really appreciate it. Thank you all so much.
Amazing and quick.
Everyone in dr Skeehan office has always treated me with respect and always taken care of me.
I'm very pleased with my doctor
Doctor explained clearly everything I needed to know he made me feel comfortable I would go back to him if needed again
Very happy with my health care I have receive from South Coast. From spine surgery to knee replacement
Dr. Skeehan is a kind, compassionate doctor who actually listens to you and provides sound advice and treatment. It has been a long time since I have had such a positive experience with a physician. Highly recommend him and his staff.
Wait times are a bit excessive.
Excellent all around experience
Doctor Skeehan explained in a clear manner what was causing my hip and knee pain. He answered my questions and gave me options to consider to correct my problem. You can't ask for anything more.
The attention, courtesy, good treatment and clarity in the information
Dr. C. Skeehan is easy to communicate with and is willing to answer all questions. He is very informative and I never felt rushed. It's been a pleasure to have him as my surgeon.
Dr Skeehan is awesome! I've had such a great experience with my TKR. He listens to my issues and figures out a plan for me. He and his staff are great, I recommend them to everyone!
Everything well explained. Plenty of time for me to explain how I was feeling. Thorough examination. Long wait time.
The staff at the admissions desk is very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Love seeing a specialist on Aquidneck Island with appointments at SouthcoastMiddletown. Very important for Seniors who sometimes can't get a ride to Charlton/ Fall River. We appreciate the expertise and compassion
Can't think of anything. Everyone is so nice and helpful.
Always professional, efficient, personable, and great advisor on how to benefit from mutual support of all medical practitioners. Very good communicator and well informed on treatment options. Excellent!
The DR. was WONDERFUL and listened to my problem and explained it all to me..I felt very comfortable in his presence and expertise ...
Absolutely my favorite orthopedic doctor ever , always takes his time to listen and explain all options ! Never pushed surgery which iam grateful ! Not to say it's not in my future but has given me alternatives which are greatly appreciated! I refer Him to everyone , also his cortisone injections are painless.
Pleasant, I felt valued, respected.
Offered solutions to my problem.
Everything was well! Thank you very much!
Dr Skeehan is fantastic. What I didn't appreciate was the wait for a 8:15 appointment. Was not called back until 9. Being behind that early in the morning is poor planning. The girl that brought me back wasn't pleasant. "We have 6 providers on." She snapped. Which I totally get. I work for southcoast surgery faunce corner . Again Dr Skeehan is fantastic. Girls at front desk too.
explained everything.
Easy conversation, explained with clarification understandable details very pro-active suggestions
The medical assistant that roomed me was very nice and knowledgeable. She was pleasant and calming at the same time
From a to z I have nothing more than a complete and total positive experience. Very grateful and satisfied!
There needs to be an elevator available at all times! Having only one that is out of service is not acceptable! Having knee problems/surgery, hip problems/surgery, COPD etc. does not work well with having you walk up two flights of stairs. Patients' should have been called to see if they wanted to reschedule their appointments due to the lack of accessibility to the office!
Would've improved my experience if you had an elevator that was working. Orthopedics on fifth floor not easy to navigate stairs with 2 bad knees.
I have no complaints about the doctor or staff. The building's elevator being out of order to be serviced is ridiculous. The landlord should not be scheduling maintenance of the only elevator during business hours. I am being seen for a hamstring injury so having to climb over 40 stairs aggravated my injury..
Dr Skeehan what can I say wonderful!! Cares about his patients & is a great surgeon!
Provider was excellent but scheduling a surgery date was ridiculous booking out 8 months ahead been in pain for 3 months already
"I recently visited my orthotic doctor, and I was truly impressed by the entire experience. The staff was incredibly energetic and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. The care I received was exceptional, and I appreciated the thorough follow-up to ensure my needs were met. It's clear that they genuinely care about their patients, and I left feeling well taken care of!"
Overall visit - staff and doctor very positive. Only complaint was initial appointment with MD scheduled with 2-1/2 month await for that one and then that appointment was cancelled 2 days before in order for MD to attend a meeting. I had to await another month plus for new appointment.
Waiting room overcrowded. Appointment was late.
always answered questions directly.
The staff was very pleasant and they put me at ease. The doctor was friendly, pleasant, and did a complete physical examination on my right hip and leg. The doctor also gave me all my options. Every satisfied.
This is my first time seeing Dr. Skeehan. He seemed very good doctor. I had my knee done before, but he's supposed to replace my knee. And he knew everything that I went through and what I'm going to experience, and he spoke to me about the robotics and stuff like that. And I think everybody that I met in the facility, from the girl that greets you to the x-ray girls and the girl that brought me to the room, everybody seemed very professional. So I can't wait to get this done. Thank you very much.
