Dr.MacFarland and his intern both gave me their undivided attention. Their body language and direct eye contact let me know they were really listening to me and focused on what I had to say. I felt very comfortable during my visit and left feeling like I had received the best medical advice and guidance.

I have been seeing Dr MacFarlane for over 15 years and he is, by far, the best provider I have ever encountered. He is very thorough and listens to any concern I have. I always feel confident that he is on top of my health.

The MD was fine. The medical assistant incorrectly took my BP, accepting 90/50 as done and started to take cuff off. I said "that couldn't be correct-as I have never been that low. She retook and BP was 114/72 I don't think cuff was on tightly enough. Also the assistant struggled through my meds, so I said I would read them off with her. This did not give merchandise confidence in her ability.

I had previously been through a horrendous experience with another OBGYN and had trepidations about this visit. I was treated with compassion, skillfullness, respect and with such efficiency that provides me with peace and relief, I am very please. The previous provider is within your provider directory, I wish that had been addressed rather than covered over.

The provider asked me to stop by the desk on my way out to schedule my ultrasound and I left without it being scheduled. I was told she would call me she did not. It's a bit disappointing that I have discomfort and the next step was not taken seriously enough in my personal opinion. Also the staff at check out were talking about someone's pregnancy although I didn't hear names I think it's important to note you never know who is listening and due to hippa laws this is not professional. I felt the secretary could have scheduled my ultrasound (which she offered a date/which I was ok with) and then do a tele health or perhaps another provider to go over results as the provider I saw was not available.

This is not my usual provider. But I...he saw me anyway, and got an appointment right away, was seen on time, and got me a prescription right away, did some tests for me, took a lot of time to explain the different things that might be wrong. So, excellent job.

Very well as far as timeliness, examinations, and instructions. I would have liked a little more time to talk about various symptoms I have had, and what they meant.

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.
