Dr. Ishihara has always been the kind of doctor that cares about her patients mind, body and soul. She listens and does not just talk at you and run out of the room as a lot of Southcoast providers do, unfortunately. You need many more providers like her. Younger, with a more contemporary approach. Not the old school doctors who just want to keep throwing pills at you. She is fantastic and I wish there were more of her for your other patients!

Hi. Dr. Ishihara is the best doctor I have ever had. She listened to me today. I had a lot of concerns and she listened intently to me and my husband and really, really helped me feel better about what was possibly going to happen to me. And I can't say enough about her. She's just wonderful. I think she's one of the best doctors ever that I've ever had and I'm proud to call her my doctor. And I trust her and I trust everything she says. And if she doesn't know the answer, she will find somebody who does. And to me that's ... that's a really, really good doctor. She's tries ... she's trying to help me. And I could tell by the concern on her face that she was really, really trying to help me. And*

I met with the doctor on Tuesday the 27th. She said she was to send in three scripts to the pharmacy. She verified the pharmacy. I went today and they did not receive the scripts. This happens frequently to me and it is frustrating. I think the office is well ran and the doctor great but the meds issue is very frustrating

Verified Patient

Taking time to talk with the patient and not rushing them out makes it seem like the patient is someone the provider cares for and not someone who is a burden. Hard to find in a doctor. Dr. Ishihara is amazing in this regard as well as being clearly up to date with current events via medical publications.

Dr. Ishihara is fabulous, we are new to each other, relatively speaking. So, I think there's still a journey to discovery but she has been instrumental in development of what I'm going through. So, I think so far so good and I look forward to continuing my health service with her.

Dr. Ishihara is the best doctor I've had. She's patient and extremely understanding. I've had really negative experiences with GPs in the past who just didn't listen to my concerns. Dr. Ishihara put me completely at ease.

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.
