Very kind and professional when dealing with all staff including my provider. I was given inhaler samples so I could start it right away. Very thoughtful and helpful for them to do that. I'm very happy with my provider and staff.

The only reason I gave a 9, is because it was very busy there, thus my husbands appointment was later than stated. The Dr. was very thorough and helpful with my husbands issues. The office staff was friendly and helpful.

Firstly the technician that brought me to the office was wonderful. Doctor Rodrigues is an exceptional Doctor. She is very informative, she's professional, she answers all your questions. And I have to say that quite a few years she saved my life. So I'm very fond of her. I wouldn't go to anybody else. She is absolutely awesome.

The biggest problem I had was when I came in the recent was kind of prompt but wasn't all that nice and was very short with me. Also my experience with trying to get a sooner appointment because of my covid results being a couple hours late and the lady I spoke with was very rude when I tried to explain the ergancy of getting a sooner appointment I apologize but this actually was my worst experience there.

Dr. Rodrigues made the experience on the telehealth very personable. She listened to my concerns. She explained everything thoroughly. She gave me all the time that I needed. My appointment, I never felt rushed and I felt very comfortable with her. If I have any further concerns at any point, I can get in touch with her and she'll address my needs at that time. So I rate her highly and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

My appointment was at 11:45. I did not get to see the doctor until 11:30. And got out, I mean, 12:30 and then get out of the office at 12:45. I waited 45 minutes. My time is valuable just like the doctor's.

Nurse was excellent. I was left in a room for half an hour until another nurse came in, surprised I was still there and got what I think was a dr, she never introduced herself to me. Spent 10 minute's with me, more time trying to get her recorder to work to take notes. In the end, I got my medical clearance but if I needed real resp care, I would be worried about getting services here.

At the outset let me say that I prefer in-person with face-to-face interviews. However under the current circumstances (Covid-19)I can understand the need for caution. Now, I have always been satisfied with my visits with Dr. Cynthia Rodrigues--over many years. She is kind, caring, and conscious of my needs. She is knowledgeable and most of all I trust her.I look forward to the day when Covid-19 is no longer a threat and we can enjoy our personal interactions with our health care providers. Meanwhile I shall continue to recommend Dr. Cynthia Rodrigues to others when the occasion arises.

For years I have seen Dr Rodrigues- But not once no matter what time my appt is have I ever been seen either close to my original appt time but further yet merely over an hours wait- This time for my results I chose to do the Tele phone option- My appt was for 10:15 , yes the medical assistant called- but my initial call was around 11:45 - I truly do not understand less patients especially at a time like this -why always so so late- I myself sit either in a room at a doctors office or at home anticipating results or any type of visit you lose that concept of that visit- More time waiting than the actual contact.

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.
