Hi, my name is [Name] and I'm a 39 year old young lady who has seen Dr. Syme for the past about 12 years. He is an absolutely amazing physician, with extreme compassion, and empathy very thoughtful, and the way he answers questions that I may have. I went there this week with a physical and he is extremely thorough, he will ask questions that sometimes I'm not even thinking about, and also goes the extra mile to find out how I'm doing outside of medical conditions. I'm just my work life balance as well. I think he is one of the best providers that ever dealt with over the course of my life, and I look forward to more years with him providing care.

Dr Syme is a very thorough medical physician. I was seen for my annual physical in a timely manner. Highly recommend him.

I have never had a less than excellent experience at Dr. Symes office. I've always been seen on time, I'm asked pertinent questions, and questions that I have are always answered thoroughly. In this past visit, he noted the possible presence of a hernia (which is why preventative care is so great). He provided me an explanation, plan, and what symptoms to be on the look out for. His demeanor makes him easy to be honest with. The staff took excellent care of me and got me scheduled for next year before I was out the door.

I've been a patient of South Coast Health Family Practice on Swansea Mall Road, or whatever. it is for many many years. I have always been satisfied with the services I received. I've had changes of doctors because people have moved, not because I had wanted that change, but I have always had really good service, and they are personable. They are down to earth. They do not assume that I am a stupid person and I love going to that practice. Thank you. Bye.

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.
