Not only did my doctor remember information about me, but she referenced events affecting my well-being involving siblings and parents from at least eight years ago. She also asked about my husband's ongoing health issues and discussed it's impact on me. When I had questions about a health condition, she very carefully went over information with me and was very reassuring. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of communication between Southcoast and [Name] hospital. When I was admitted to [Name] hospital I received excellent care, but nothing was shared with my doctor.

Everything having to do with the personal interactions was excellent. Every person there makes my appointments literally something to look forward to. The only negative comment was the wait time, it was about an hour after scheduled time. A small price to pay for an excellent team, but since you asked that's the one point of improvement.

Very, very thorough. I was getting a bit upset about waiting so long to be seen but once I was, I realized why. Dr. P. took her time with me and explained herself and made sure I understood everything she was telling me. This was my first visit to establish a new patient visit and I will definitely be using her for my new Dr. no matter how long I have to wait! Great Doctor!

I was unable to connect via video, so we had a phone visit. It would have been helpful to have insured that the video platform would work, prior to the appointment. I am new to the practice, and had not used this platform previously. Other than that, my experience with this provider was excellent. I’ve since fixed the issue with doximity so that it will work for future visits. Thank you.

This was my first telehealth visit. The office staff scheduled my appointment for the next day when I called. Another person in the office called me the next morning with a few questions prior to the visit. Dr. Parameswaran called on a video visit without any problems. She reviewed a few things and addressed my problem in a caring way and efficiently. The office staff called later to schedule a follow-up appt, and an Rx was ready for me to pick up at my pharmacy a short time later. All went well!

I have a wonderful relationship with Dr. Parameswaran. What upset me a little bit today was, I was called to say, she'll be calling you at 9:30. My appointment was at 9:30. They gave me a heads up at about 10 past 9 and then I waited about 45 minutes past 9:30, for her call to come through and I was like sitting at my kitchen island with my phone in my hand. So, I wouldn't inconvenience her and the 45 minutes was was not good. That's it.

Everything was fine, except the fact that because of the pandemic it's not a face to face meeting. It's the best that can be done during these times but for an older lady like myself I prefer the contact.

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.
