    Had my yearly appointment with doctor Carroll in urology as usual it was great the staff is very good and doctor caroll was great as usual


  • Apr 17, 21
    Verified Patient

    Yeah, he was running about an hour behind due to issues I guess during the course of the day or whatever. I mean I had to wait over an hour just to get to see him. So I'm told it was only three providers there. I guess there's usually more but we disappointing that I had to wait and then there were people walking in behind me that were going in before me. So it was a little frustrating.

    The staff was fabulous. They really worked hard to get me in even though it turned out. I was in the wrong location to see the doctor. I was supposed to see Dr. Carol to be a very happy situation for me, even though I didn't know him again. He listen carefully make sure to take care of all aspects of my concerns and where they needed to call for a follow up because I was having some symptoms. I didn't understand the stop was patient and responded to the couple of extra calls I needed to make so I have absolutely no complaints with the people there and the doctor really went above and beyond the only reason I didn't give a 10 to the*


  • Apr 8, 21
    Verified Patient

    The experience could have been better if we had seen the doctor right away. For example, our appointment was 1:10, and he didn't come into the examining room until 1:40. So that's the only criticism that I have, was it was a little long waiting in the in the examining room.

  • Dec 24, 20
    Verified Patient

    Positives: Took me that same day Took me in quicklyAll staff especially the "checking out" staff Was very courteous and friendly and helpful Ordered testing I felt was necessaryAppointment setup for testing procedure was done at time of visit Appointment set up was handled very nicely getting me an appointment quickly and close to present Negatives:inundated with large amount of patients for covid and small office space set up was concerning Spacing between individuals was not always adhered to as a patient kept moving closer and closer in line toward me and I had little real estate to move away while said patient was talking to another staff member I couldn't find the hand sanitizer going outOffices were slightly dirty on floor Over all: it's a very small medical building and it is difficult to keep people within 6 feet however there wasn't enough direction to those who weren't adhering to the rules and spots outlined to stand the line duration was longer than expected but non the less I was checked in quickly and had same day visit Therefore overall I'm satisfied however I would like check out lobby staff to enforce politely to others to adhere to distancing since there already is limited space and covid is a major life threatening concern, especially with my on going health issues, which is why I avoided just going to the hospital in the first place.


  • Dec 23, 20

    Everything was done very well. The only thing I would suggest is with this covid issue it was raining that day was it's going to be getting cold and people had to wait outside so that they could be, you know, enter the entrance way to be, you know, temperature tested et cetera. I would suggest that gets rethought a little bit as the temperature changes and so that people aren't standing out in you know inclement weather waiting to get in. Other than that, I mean it's an outstanding, it's an outstanding practice and Dr.Carroll is an outstanding doctor and he deserve that 5 rating he gets that's about it. Thank you.

  • Oct 21, 20
    Verified Patient

    I would have liked fewer fellow patients in the waiting room, those middow row chairs are back to back so even if you skip a chair there is no way that you can be six feet for another person. they did ask questions and check temperature before letting each person into waiting room. On plus side I very much like Dr. Carroll and his up to date on info in his field.

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.
