Physicians need to speak to patients in terms they understand and when providing a diagnosis, it needs to include at that time, definition, symptoms, treatments, nutritional info(if indicated), and reasons for why this diagnosis has been given to the patient. Thank goodness for family members who have the ability to research, offer assistance and want to help with the info needed to go forward in assisting me to improve.

My PCP is Dr. Lippincott. I think he is an excellent doctor. He always takes the time to listen to me, to hear what I have to say. He answers all of my questions. The office staff are also excellent. I'm always seen in a timely manner. I never feel rushed. I've been with this office for several years and I've also recommended several friends and family members to go to this office as well. I've always, highly enjoyed going to the doctor's office there as much as you can enjoy going to the doctor's. I just think it's a great establishment.

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.
