I appreciate the courtesy of the medical assistants in the room as well as the time that the provider took two answer my questions and address my concerns. The provider also was able to do a test the same day, rather than inconvenience me to make another appointment to come back. I appreciate the peace of mind having done the test the same day and getting immediate results.

The nurse who took me into the room was very nice, made things comfortable even though I was there for a somewhat embarrassing issue, and she knew it. [Redacted-compliment about staff appearance] Dr Carroll was excellent, the way he came across explaining things was very easy to follow, and he was very easy to talk to about my issue. Extremely knowledgeable of the issue and went through every possible option to resolve. Great experience all the way around. Front office personnel were very nice and personable as well.

Jan 24, 19
Verified Patient

Bad start. Office had no record of our appointment. As a result, had to wait an hour to see the doctor who was good enough to add us to his stechedule. But because he was in a hurry, the visit had a treperfunctoryfeeling. Not a good day. However, the care we did get te.approprira

Verified Patient

Office location is easy to get to and there is ample parking. Friendly, efficient and polite staff members that work together as a team. The waiting room isn't very comfortable and lacks a cozy feeling for the diverse patients. For example: the children have a tiny play area in a corner on the floor, not enough end tables, and the elderly seemed uncomfortable in their chairs. I am so grateful they offer water in the waiting room which is a definite bonus! I often feel that the doctors at this facility are over run with too many patients and it makes it difficult for them to provide the care that they would if they had more time.

The wait, both in the waiting room and in the exam room, was much too long. I was prepped for a procedure only to be left waiting for quite some time. I realize it is busy, but if the doctors are running more than 30 minutes late a phone call or text would be appreciated.

There have appointments at which there was some delay before I met with the doctor. I recommend that an assistant keep patients updated when such delays occur.

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.
