Friendly and respectful and helpful staff
They are wonderful and a pleasure to work with.
She listened and helped me
Stay up to date about what's required for meds and future blood work with my doctors
I was treated with respect, dignity and with outstanding professionalism. My visit was without any issues and I left with complete confidence with my provider and looking forward to my next visit.
Not enough time with the doctor. She is great and I value her as my PCP. But my annual physical earlier today was indistinguishable from a normal visit. No doubt this is a function of the shortage of PCPs and the need to see more patients. So I understand it. But it could be improved.
Great experience. Everyone is very friendly.
All staff, including doctors and PAs are always very professional, courteous, and very helpful.
I called in the morning for a sick appointment. The nurse that called me back was very good with the triage, got me an appointment at 11 o'clock that morning. I was seen immediately by Dr. Draper and everything went smoothly. They took care of me and looking forward to hearing about my lab results.
My appointment went well and fast. everything was good as it except it. I had no problems with anything. and using My Chart app to send Dr. Draper a message I know she'll message me back. she's a good listener and understands everything. she cares about her patients like me.
Pre-operative clearance appointment that I needed in preparation for cataract surgery was scheduled promptly. Facility is clean, well-maintained & a welcoming environment with adequate free & convenient parking. Dr. Draper & staff are consistently kind & pleasant during my visits. Appreciate quality care on Southcoast.

she is a great doctor. listens,answers questions and is always pleasant. discussing anything with her is easy.
My ability to be open and honest with De.Draper is great. She always has great tips to help with questions and concerns I may have.
Excellent advice on what to do next
stick to appointment times, most times you wait 1/2hr in room before doctor see you. overbooking is not the best way to keep patients happy.
Always satisfied with my visits to the office and the care I receive.
Dr. Draper and the team are great. Front desk was very professional and welcoming as well.
The coordinator at check-in window seemed rushed. The medical assistant was attentive. Dr. Draper is by far amazing!!! She takes her time and listens to any concerns or answers any questions I may have. I always feel so comfortable. The coordinator at checkout was attentive and very helpful.
I did think the doctor could have reviewed the most recent findings from a specialist (that she referred me to).
all was great Dr. Draper gets down and covers all my problems. She's quite a girl always tries to help with any problems I have.
Absolutely love Dr. Draper.She is amazing, makes me feel comfortable, and I feel blessed to be her patient!
[Name] at the front desk was so kind and took care of what I needed. The medical assistant [Name] was extremely nice and the lab tech who drew my blood was quick and efficient. Dr Draper always takes my issues seriously and she is one of the best doctors I have ever had!
Always shows Compassion
I feel like a number not a patient. Feel like my appointment is rushed.
It was a very good visit. Dr. Draper is the best!
I feel I always get excellent care from SouthCoast Health.
Dr ordered labs and I was able to do it at the lab which was conenient as it avoided another trip
Polite, friendly, asked about my concerns and saw to it that I made my future specialized appointments. Supplied necessary meds. Could have been a little more inquisitive in to pain issue. Although not completely complicate to them but some of my pain issues weren't really addressed. Maybe they didn't seem urgent or concerning as they are not extreme yet gradually getting worse.
Everyone in this office is friendly and helpful. Very thankful to be a patient here.
From the receptionist to the whole staff and doctor I was greeted and treated kindly, professionally and patiently. Procedure questions were answered and explained as being done. I cannot make any suggestions for improvement since my visit was comfortable, on time, informative and in a friendly environment.
Listening, most important of all!!
My PCP is an excellent person with a great personality and an exceptional knack for being a great Dr.
Staff and Dr Draper are very good
I just want to let you know that they always answer me. They take care of any concerns I have promptly. Dr. Draper is the most amazing doctor. I can't imagine a better doctor. I wouldn't want another doctor. I can't say any more. These people are very good. They're very accommodating. And if you call in an emergency or you don't feel well, they'll direct you. They take care of you. That's all I can say. I can't say enough about you guys. Thank you.
Listened and sympathetic to my pain
My over all visit was excellent from check in to check out and everything in between. They are awesome and Dr. Draper is beyond awesome.
From parking to waiting room the facilities are wonderful. The exam rooms and nurse stations are clean and tidy. Everyone is attentive and professional.
Dr Draper is the best! So kind and listens to my concerns!
Dr. Draper is a wonderful physician. She always takes the time to address all of my concerns and never makes me feel rushed. She is thorough, kind, and genuinely cares about her patients. I always leave my appointments feeling heard, supported, and confident in my care.
Dr. Draper is a wonderful doctor. She's caring and helpful and friendly. She's concerned about me. All the staff here are wonderful!
Dr. Draper has always listened to my needs. i actually asked her if she was accepting new patients I wanted to get my Fiancé in to see her. She said she wasn't but would make an acceptation due to me being her patients and it helps her know her patients better. I highly recommend her. Doctors appointments can be dreadful but not with her, she listens and gives you good feedback!
It would be really helpful to schedule the blood work associated with my annual physical on the same day as the physical rather than before or after. I think it would also be helpful to talk about menopause as I move closer to being in the midst of it..
Dr Draper is excellent- very pleased she is my Doctor
Dr Draper was very pleasant and addressed all my needs ! She was courteous, respectful, and listened to all my concerns!
Dr. Draper cares and does not make me feel bad for the choices I make with my own health. She is supportive and very knowledgeable.
Love Dr. Draper---she is amazing!
