    I received a phone call from a nerdiest, to talk about my health. I told him that my back and leg really hurt me. I asked him for steroids. But, he told me that he won't give me steroids till he see me in person to determine if I need them or not.I got mad at him because, I told him I was in alot of pain because of my back and leg. The doctor told me that he won't give me steroids. I got really mad at him because he said that he wouldn't give me any steroids. So because I was in alot of pain, I hung up on him. I'm really sorry for that.

    I think that My Provider is the best. He listens and has the best interest in terms of what my needs are and always asks questions in a way that I understand. He has compassion , and most to of my Doctor's I am just a number. Although they are good physicians. But what will make a patient stay is Time and patience. It's not what the facility does well, it's taking time to train and hire the right staff that does well. From the front office , to the medical staff

He addressed each one individually. Took time, explained it thoroughly. I felt very, very comfortable with him. A doctor that I haven't felt comfortable with in a long, long time. I look forward to working with him. He understands my situation. He understands how I feel about going through an MRI. He's dedicated to working with me on that and we're looking forward to work with Dr. Martin. I'm so glad I met him. Thank you very much.

    Very short wait time - they had extra staff in foyer taking temps and doing screening questions which is great during COVID.

    Prefer face to face but understand why its nearly impossible at this time. Front office staff behave more professionally when a coworker is on the phone with a patient.

  • Aug 20, 20
    Verified Patient

    Dr. Martin really listens to me. He always seems to be aware of what we've discussed previously and I really appreciate his knowledge of new therapies on the horizon for Multiple Sclerosis. Until Dr. Martin joined Southcoast, there were NO doctors that were knowledgable about Multiple Sclerosis. Each time I came for an appointment with a neurologist, prior to the arrival of Dr. Martin, they asked why I was seeing them, because they said they were not qualified to see someone with Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Martin is excellent!!!!! Please do whatever you can to keep him, until he retires, and then please be sure to have him actively involved in his replacement.

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.
