    Did a nice job explaining things I have the ability to improve myself and listened to questions. Some doctors just talk over you and discount what the patient is feeling.

    Dr Verma was patient and kind throughout our conversation. [Name] is a 100% disabled Vietnam War veteran. Dr Verma was very respectful of my husbands inability to answer questions which is important to both of us. He explained everything clearly and was clear about follow ups. Thank you Dr Verma

    My appt. was over the phone. I have never met Dr Verma but have spoken to him a number of times. His upbeat voice/attitude and approach is extremely reassuring. He listens & wants to know about me as an individual not just a name. We discussed plant based nutrition as I am a pescatarian……and he recommended 2 books which I have already put on hold @ library. Dr Verma appears to be very in touch with today's food issues and that in itself was a pleasant surprise!

    I absolutely love SouthCoast providers! Everyone is so professional, nice, polite and kind. I have never had a bad experience at any SouthCoast facility. I don't like going to the doctors and I always wait till my condition has reached the limit and when I go to SouthCoast I say this isn't bad at all why did I wait so long. I wouldn't go to any other than a SouthCoast doctor. They are fantastic.

    All staff were courteous, professional and helpful. Dr. Verma took the time to question me as well as answer my questions. I didn't feel the slightest bit rushed. And the staff member who scheduled an in-office procedure for me was fantastic, taking the time to explain everything in detail and answering every question I had. I wish I could remember her name because I'd like to give special credit to her. All in all, very happy with the experience yesterday.

    I don't feel that in all situations that telehealth is a great Alternative! You need to see some Doctors face to face and get and give pre doctor health check. In this situation, that wasn't needed. Dr Verma was given some prior info by me, and he gave me some onsight on my weight and scheduled some tests that I needed. Very Happy so far with Dr Verma since My Previous Dr [Name] retired Thank you

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.
