The doctor and the people who took care of me. We're wonderful. The survey pretty much sucks. The intro is way too long. You need a response that's not applicable because all of your questions, sometimes it's not necessary to do that. It makes no sense. It's not a short survey shorten it. I said it last time. I hate answering these and I probably will refuse to it's too much.

This was a telemed visit. Dr Mateo is the absolute best! He listens, explains things carefully, always asks if I have questions and the best part is I never feel rushed! While I’m not happy about WHY I’m seeing him, I’m so grateful to have him treating me.

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.
