About Courtney Ferreira

Courtney Ferreira, DNP earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and her Doctor of Nursing Practice specializing in Adult Gerontology Primary Care at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. She holds clinical interests in oncology and hematology. 

Courtney’s personal philosophy of care is rooted in the oath of “first, do no harm.” She emphasizes the importance of truly listening to her patients and providing individualized care. She believes that kindness and empathy are essential in every aspect of patient care and approaches the practice of medicine with a focus on mind, body and spirit. 

Growing up, Courtney always aspired to pursue a career in healthcare. When her grandmother was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disorder, her research into the condition sparked a deeper fascination and inspired her to support others facing similar challenges.

She first became a certified nursing assistant at the age of 16 when she enrolled in the health careers program at her vocational high school. She then began her nursing career in the intensive care unit (ICU) and COVID ICU as part of an emergency relief team in 2020. The experience left her unintimidated by complex medical issues. 

When Courtney decided to venture out of the ICU, she took a role in an outpatient oncology clinic, and within a few short days knew she had found her niche. She enjoys the complexity, diversity and required critical thinking skills this care requires.  

In her spare time, Courtney enjoys spending time with her family and friends, taking dog walks, reading and cooking.

Provider Ratings

Why aren’t there any ratings?

We do not have a rating for this provider for one of the following reasons:

  1. Provider was newly added to our survey process and has not yet received the minimum number (30) of survey returns.  Check back soon for results!
  2. If this provider’s biography page does not specify practicing at Southcoast Physicians Group or a Southcoast hospital site (Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital), he/she is affiliated with Southcoast Health Network but not employed by Southcoast Physicians Group.  Our affiliates are not included in our survey process.
  3. If this provider’s biography page specifies practicing at Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital, without reference to an outpatient practice, he/she delivers care in the inpatient hospital setting only; inpatient surveys do not include questions about individual providers.

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.
