    The provider, Dr. Rodrigues, seems to be a good doctor. However, each time I have had an office visit with her I need to wait on average two to three hours before being called in to see her. On separate occasions I have actually seen patients leave altogether because of the frustration of waiting (complaining of being ill or losing too much time from work themselves). This last office visit While waiting another patient actually fell asleep and took a nap. The doctor needs to change how she sets up her appointments to see patients on time.

    There is always a wait time, regardless of whether you're early, on time or late. Doesn't matter if you have the first appt. of the day or any other time. There is usually a 5 - 10 minute wait in the "waiting" room, then, after vitals are taken by an assistant, another 10 - 15 minute wait until the doctor arrives.

    One hour past appointment time before I as seen.Not very personable approach.Don't understand why I need to see provider so often.

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.
