I had to wait four months for an appointment to establish me as a patient, which seemed like a long time to wait. I'm guessing that was due to Covid and hoping that's not the case foe future appointments. The doctor and staff were great!

I really like my new doctor! She was excited for my progress on weight loss and is helping me through pre menopause. She investgated my hormone levels and went over them with me. It is nice to have the knowledge she provides as well on alternative options to medications. She is taking the time to learn about me and that is what I need at this stage of my life.

Hi, my experience was always great with my doctor Merport. I enjoyed everything when I'm there with her. What I was a little bit dissatisfied was the young lady that came to give me my ammonia shot. She came up in a company of another individual watching her and I felt that I was just being tested where this girl obviously was not very well knowledge in given the injection my arm aches an awful lot and to me I feel was done through an inexperienced individual that gave me the shot. Thank you.

I called the office in the morning, and Dr.Merport returned my call in a timely manner. I explained about my cellulitis rash and showed it to her on Facetime. She said she would order my RX's to treat the cellulitis and that I should start using the antibiotic tonight and the cream in the morning. CI am totally satisfied with the way I was treated by the office staff and Dr. Merport. Thank you for helping me with this problem.

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.
