    Everyone was very respectful and courteous, and Dr. Verma was as always very pleasant, knowledgeable, and a very good doctor. He actually listens, and found me a new Urologist. I don't think there's much to change in that office.


  • Sep 19, 24
    Verified Patient

    I have full trust in my provider. He takes the time to answer my questions. And always ask how I'm doing and honestly really seems to care. I have no complaints . The nurses are informative if I'm not well on how to fix my issues and calls back to check on me. I feel well cared for and don't feel like just a number or a nuisance. I absolutely would be devastated if he leaves that office. It's taken me 25 yrs to fund exactly a dr who knows and understands my health and really cares. Thank you for this place of security and making me top priority .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.
