You did nothing wrong Dr. Cava terrific, but my problem is that when I have an interrogation with Med Tronic, it takes 6 weeks minimum before I can see the results on my my chart and I don't understand and hope that if they were a problem that there is some way of someone knowing that instead of waiting 6 weeks it needs to be shortened up and any event. That's my response. Take care. Bye. Bye.

Verified Patient

Dr. Cava and PA's were great. i am very satisfied...... but the office and exam room were COLD - even the office workers conversed about how cold it was!! in the exam room i was actually shivering - i think this contributed toward my blood pressure reading which was very high.....which prompted the PA's to take it again (also very high!!). toward the end of my appointment , Dr. Cava took my BP and i was no longer shivering...... My BP went down but was still on the high side... SO that is my only criticism - that is was COLD... other than that all was great !!

The office always makes sure to confirm my appointments, explain the costs to me. The only thing I would like is for there to be more staff trained for translation or for the office to coordinate with my insurance for a translator when I need it in order to have a more open conversation with my doctor.

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.
