    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.

    Hi, my name is [Name] [Name]. I don't want to be anonymous. I just wanted to say that you guys were very helpful with the whole Coronavirus going on. The doctor was always sympathetic. You guys gave me ... I had missed an appointment and you guys gave me one that same day, when I called, on Friday, and she gave me all my medications that I needed and I've been on them ever since and have a follow up appointment. So I would just like to say that I would definitely recommend anybody, family, friends, to this facility. Thank you. Have a great day.

    My appointment was changes multiple. One telemed appointment kept me waiting for almost three hours before I finally cancelled. On another occasion Doctor was one hour late for a telemed appointment. Once the doctor arrived She was very attentive and knowledgeable about my situation.This practice has to get better at scheduling and keeping appointments in a timely manner

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.
