Verified Patient

The admin staff, was less than outgoing and friendly, but I'm thinking that is a Massachusetts thing. Most people seem to be more "matter of fact" than cordial. Regarding my visit with the doctor, I was impressed that despite my moving to MA a year ago, Dr. Larock had my medical history to refer to during my visit with him. He was also very nice. I feel like he is a continuation of the excellent Urological care I was receiving in Georgia, just a year ago. Comforting.

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.
