Good visit, staff, and doctor. Just felt like it was a rushed visit, and any problem I may have, a referral gets placed instead of trying to work through the problem.

I'm very disappointed in my appointment yesterday. I felt I had no time with the provider. She rushed me. She didn't do a thorough exam and never asked me if I had any concerns. I was thoroughly disappointed for the first time.

Yes, I'm very pleased with Dr. Draper and actually everyone at the office. I'm in a wheelchair so it's difficult for me and she always makes me feel so comfortable with all the questions I've had and my husband. She takes her time, is very patient and I'm just really glad to have her as my PCP. But that goes with the secretaries as well and the MA who checked me in. I have nothing but good remarks about this PCP and all the employees. Thank you so much.

The office is a pleasant atmosphere. There has never been a long wait for me to see Dr. Draper. In my experience I have not seen a lot of people in the waiting rooms. I like that it doesnt feel like a factory processing tons of patients. Great experience with this office and Dr. Draper is amazing.

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.
