I like that there is a chart at the door letting you know if the doctor is running on time. Also, the girls at the front desk are very kind and courteous. My doctor is very thorough.

This was my first visit with my new health provider. I wasn't sure how it would go but Dr Draper made me feel comfortable and she was thorough and caring. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay at this facility because it is out of my way from where I live, but I'll give it a shot because I do like my new md.

My physician is excellent. The front desk staff was very friendly. My MA was not personable at all and did not make me feel comfortable. In fact, I was uncomfortable by the way she rushed with me taking my vital signs, going though the intake, and then doing an EKG. I did not feel cared for by her at all.

The front desk was horrible. She was too busy being social with a coworker and when she assisted me finally to check out was rude. Making a follow up appointment was difficult as this individual did not understand that people work. Just a horrible individual who should not be assisting patients.

The check-in/check-out woman was super nice and as was the nurse who took my vitals. As always, Dr. Draper listens completely to what I have to say before responding. She genuinely makes me feel that she cares, she is kind and understanding, I am never rushed, and am always told not to hesitate to call the office if something is wrong. Everyone that I came in contact with made me feel comfortable.

One improvement would be the time in which patients are seen. I had an 8:20 appointment and was not seen until 9am. With everyone's time being valuable, I found it disappointing to wait so long for an early morning appointment.

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.
