Francesca was totally involved in my issue. I appreciate that.
Gave me appointment for emergency
The NP listed to my concerns, listed back to me everything I needed and asked what I wanted. We talked about labs and made a plan to follow up with the testing. I left there knowing I was heard
Good experience, I can't think of any improvements
Francesca is wonderful in her care to me. Always going the extra mile, caring, inquisitive, and has pushed specialists when needed. And I really appreciate the care.
I feel like the staff is always courteous and helpful when I visit this office. From check-in to check-out all the staff members are friendly, welcoming and attentive. Francesca in particular is one of the best providers I've ever seen. She puts me at ease if there is something I'm worried about, she listens to my concerns, and doesn't make me feel pressured to follow a plan I don't agree with. I feel well cared for and supported by her care.
Got an appointment the morning I called…given meds and feeling improved already…very pleased with high level of care delivered promptly and professionally!
Nurse Practioner Francesca was great, She to care about what I was going thru. I don't know how to become a permanent client because I would
Discussed health issue with nurse and she thought it was better to be seen. I was able to have an appointment that afternoon. Nurse practitioner friendly, knowledgeable and reviewed chart while talking. I'm happy with Southcoast Health so far !
Francesca always listens and uses information to make correct decisions on my health. I dont want to use any other doctor now after multiple visits with her and the high quality and consistent care she provides.
Love you guys
No wait at all. Francesca couldn't have been more thorough. Not the 1st time that she has taken care of meet. She is an outstanding NP. She definitely is a gem.
NP seemed dismissive of my symptoms. Her bedside manner was very condescending and the visit felt rushed. I felt like she was bothered to see me and only spent about 5-10 mins or so in the room talking to me.
Francesca is fabulous! She listens gives options makes you feel comfortable
Francesca is awesome and helped me out ! I was thankful to get in so quickly since I had a strange rash !
I love this office and everyone in it is very professional!
Fransceca was an amazing help to me in a very fast time. Very grateful to her for her help.
My experience at that office is perfect. I never have a problem. The information was spot on, told me what to do, how to help with it, made appointments for me, woke up back to me, checked me out, were kind, courteous, and caring.
Enjoyed visit, was very professional .
All is fine the way it is. There is always room for improvement.
Francesca was concerned about my overall health, not just my physical health. My emotional well being was a factor in my health.I am grateful.
All was great. The team was very responsive and helpful in taking care of me and my health needs.
They took care of me quickly, since I felt awful. The visit was very helpful.
Francesca was very professional; I did not feel rushed and she was extremely helpful.
Francesca is absolutely wonderful to me She "gets" my frustrations with Alzheimers, listens to me, and is not afraid to tell me I'm wrong when I AM WRONG!
Francesca was awesome and asked for a doctor to look at some test results to be sure she was on the right track. I always appreciate when doctors ask for another opinion!
My experience with Francesca was wonderful. Very courteous and professional. She had a genuine concern about my health and discussed making a plan to look after my health.
You all went above and beyond today!! Our daughter just recently moved back home and desperately needed a PCP and new patient appointment. Starting with NP Francesca , right through to [Name] and everyone at the front desk, all of you worked your [Name] to make this appointment happen today. YOU ALL ROCK
Nurse Practitioner Friel was professional, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator.
Friendly, informative, fast service. Great job!!!!
I was seen in an unplanned appointment. Staff was very professional. I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received at this facility.
Both support person and Nurse treated me as though i was dealing with "stress" symptoms. It was an insulting way to be treated. I'm a 72 year old professional person; i expect and hope for respect.
Francesca NP makes it easy to communicate. Takes the time to explain everything. Answered all questions on my concerns. I appreciate her so much! She doesn't look through you, she looks at you. That's so important!
Just the registration and the assistant for the provider's
Great experience. On time, thorough, follow through from previous appts
Francesca was great, she listened carefully and seemed genuinely concerned for my health. I appreciated the advice and diagnosis and feel better today.
Franchesca is a phenomenal provider, she was extremely supportive and provided helpful feedback regarding an upcoming medical procedure as well as post-op follow up. I also work in healthcare and as someone that has seen/experienced subpar services, we need more providers like her!
No complaints! I was seen very quickly and was well taken care of re: my issues
Francesca was patient, professional and knowledgeable. I felt I was cared for and understood. She ordered relevant tests and called in a prescription. She did a very thorough job.
To a person, all Staff conducted themselves as professional & caring Healthcare providers. Great experience.
Everything was great a little more waiting then I thought it would be but the dr was great
Friendly, professional, courteous,
Receptive, caring, knowledgeable, important Felt like the only person in the practice, as if we could take all the time that we needed.
She explained that I should get a shingle shot at my pharmacy and she offered the flu shot right in the office. I also was able to get my lab work done while I was there. I was very comfortable about my healthcare today when I left the office.
