First of all, I'm going back to you at one of your original question was did they know my medical history? And they did, they did the homework before beforehand and I appreciate that. Beyond that the doctor spelled it out clearly doesn't pull any punches, but usually there is some optimism there what may possibly can be done and how it possibly can approve of it and I appreciate that as well.

The staff made sure that the physician had all the information he needed right in front of him, including the CPAP usage printout and other pertinent information he needed to give proper care. In addition, the care that I received during my PFT by the respiratory therapist was exceptional.

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.
