I understand healthcare is very busy but I was not able to get my labs done, there was no appointments available at the physicians building. Fortunately the labs at the hospital were able to squeeze me in because I was an employee (I went to the hospital lab, they were actually closed at the time and an employee there was very kind to accommodate me) I got the results back on my chart the same day, very impressed with that.

You can improve the experience by not having the survey be as long as it is. It is not helpful.

The simple fact the staff has remained consistent in the last 17 years I have been bringing my children there is comforting. Dr. Chesney has always been so insightful and honest with us. He makes my kids feel comfortable. Going to the dr. is fun for us. We want to see him and hear about his kids, dog, etc. also. The care is awesome, but the bedside manner is beyond amazing.

Its hard for the doctor on call to totally grasp the problem at hand...did well but prescribed something that was not conducive to the wound I have on my foot...retarded healing but he had no clue because he could not see my foot nor did I think to mention it...overall he did what he thought was best for me and did it in a timely manner and I really appreciate that

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.

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.
Aug 3, 20
Verified Patient

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.
