The whole experience was great. Having a doctor listen and understand my unique problem completely is a relief in itself. My issues are not usual and somewhat of a mystery. Dr. Watson was able to figure it out and I am feeling much better.

Dr. James Watson was great - very personable and smart. Best experience I've had at a doctor's office in awhile. HUGE PLUS - NO WAIT. I arrived early and was seen earlier than my appointment time, this means the world to me as I've wasted too many hours of my life waiting long after my appointment time to see a doctor.

Pleasant and friendly office staff, efficient and got me in slightly before my scheduled time and Dr. Watson was on schedule. Answered my questions and was friendly and professional.

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
