Good experience. Friendly courteous staff. A little cumbersome printing out 1 page per blood test so you have to give the lab a pile of papers.

The waiting room looks like a bus station. When you are called the assistance does not even come into the main waiting area. You do not know where to stand when waiting for registration for your appointment.

The attention I received when I arrived was very kind and timely. It was my first time in the new office so I was a little unsure of the process. There were tablet screens just as I entered the waiting area but no instruction on how or if I needed to use them. I did not have to wait long before one of the associates called me over to the desk to check me in. I did wait over 30 minutes beyond the time of my scheduled appoint before the Dr came into the exam room but with a late afternoon appointment I understand that. Maybe a text to my phone 30 mins. before my appointment to confirm they are running on time would be possible. Otherwise I am always pleased with the care I receive when with the Dr. Check out was simple and straight forward and the associate was very nice.

I was given a 10:15 appt and checked in at 10:06. I was finally called at 11:20 and told that "I was late so the person before me was called first"I was not late, in fact I was early and do not appreciate having to wait over an hour to be seen

My Dr. Parmaswaren took the time to explain my blood work, condition and treatment plan. It?s very important to patients that Doctos are given the time to meet with their patients and explain things to them. Often time they have limited amounts of time per patient which diminishes the quality of care. Dr. Parmeswaren is the best!!!!!!!

It was the opening day for your new location which may have made a difference in the long wait time. As far as my provider, Dr. parmaswaran,She is by far the best doctor I have ever been to.

I think it would be really helpful to let patients know about how far the doctors are running behind. When it?s more than a half an hour we should be given an option to leave the building. We would do so at the risk of missing a slot but Dr. P is notorious for being at least an hour behind it to sit there for an hour when they know at the front desk that she?s an hour behind is just really annoying.

Waiting room had no heat on a morning in the teens. Had to keep on coat, scarf and gloves. Wait was longer in the waiting room than usual but did have heat in the examining rooms. At 75 years old it was very uncomfortable. Others also stayed bundled up.

I had to wait 90 minutes to be seen however my doctor always provides excellent care so because of this I try not to become frustrated with the extensive wait time

Verified Patient

The waiting is ridiculous. The front desk was okay this time, but in the past it left a lot to be desired. When I went in for my flue shot there was a huge argument at the front desk. Not sure who manages the office, but it should be addressed and it might help the waiting issue too to keep people informed instead of arguing. The people out front are what might make your "business".

Dr. Parmeswaran is responsive, kind, and proactive in addressing my health needs. I would highly recommend her and am deeply appreciative of her care.

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.
