    While the appt went well, I am disappointed that I did not receive a follow-up call about a referral that was being placed today. I called and did not hear back before the office closed for the weekend.

    Dr. Chesney is a true professional in his field. Southcoast would be a much better healthcare facility if there were more like him tending to the needs of the community. It is because of him that I remain with Southcoast.

    Given two large health care providers in the southcoast area, Southcoast Health continues to be my preferred provider. Dr. Chesney and his staff including [Name] are professionally and personally outstanding providers, as are the receptionist and the exit secretary. After more than 20 years, Dr. Chesney and staff continue to have my trust. Always! [Name] [Name]

    I never feel rushed. Dr Chesney always gives me ample time to ask questions that are of concern to me. He gives me thoughtful responses and offers to research things outside of his usual scope. We’ve been patients of his since he started his practice and feel confident with his abilities.

    Dr. Chesney care. I have been with him for a very long time. I have the choice to choose any provider with commercial insurance. If he wasn't fantastic, I wouldn't be his patient.

    Went in for a very specific issue, got a referral, staff even called and set up the appointment. I highly recommend this provider!

    Medical assistant called 2 hours prior my appointment. To me that was a bit early. Caught me off guard usually it's a half hour before your appointment.

    Check-in was prompt, quick, easy - the doctor was on time. The only critique I really have is that I needed to provide blood work on my physical and there was no available appointments - and usually I just kind of walk down the hall, and I realize that the covid does change things - but I do feel like there should be blood work appointments available for people that have physicals. I did call the office to make an appointment the day I left and still waiting to can get a phone call back to schedule blood work. So that's the one thing I do have a complaint about - other than that, my experience was great.

    Twice out of 3 visits in a 2 week span( 1 office and 2 tele visits) we had oncall doctors and we were extremely pleased that our daughter was taken care of in such a timely manner as does her normal doctor would. We were able to avoid having to risk bringing her to the ER because Dr. Chesney and the doctors covering for him were so great and called back so quickly and helping diagnose and get her on the right medication!

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.
