Dr DeLeo is great. I can't say the same about the nurse. I cringe everytime she is on duty. She is not very nice and is judgmental. When I told the Dr she wasn't my favorite she actually took the time to do it all herself to keep me at ease and my blood pressure down

South Coast must allow for longer provider visits. Time spent with patients is the key to accurate diagnosis. Medicare should not be allowed so much say. My doctor always does the absolute best in this practice.

My doctor knew exactly what my blood work was, and told me and gave me every information about it. And she also knew what medications I take, which are basically vitamins and told me to continue them. And then she told me that she would like to check my heart just to make sure that everything was okay. So I had an electric cardiogram which came out completely normal and she came back in in a timely manner and told me that everything was perfect. So she gave me advice for the future or what to do to keep my health goals and told me that I was doing a terrific job and she would see me. I have my next physical. I was very pleased with the outcome. And, and, and the way I was treated.

It seems Southcoast Health is struggling with accessing records they scanned in. They did not seem to have my information from my last visit even. I was ordered labs then told to go home and make an online appt. The process was difficult even with instructions. Person out front should make it right at that time. Used to be the best part of Southcoast. They scheduled all followup things…ensuring you were more likely to go. Positive is that the visit was timely and I did not wait long. Dr. Deleo is always friendly and attentive.

I still think that you have to get your scheduling a little better. I was waiting in the office at least a good 35 minutes before the doctor saw me. So, I think that there has to be a little bit of a scheduling compromise there.

During Covid using an answering service to get responses to questions slowed down response time by weeks. I hope they will be able to discontinue this, but I understand the special circumstances.

I called for an urgent appointment with Dr Deleo, my primary care physician, for severe upper back pain. I received an appointment at 11:00 and an accurate diagnosis, medications, appropriate therapies and clear explanations by 12:00. By 2:00 I was already feeling 80% less pain. What else can patients ask for? Absolutely nothing! Bravo, Dr. DeLeo and Southcoast Health!!!!!!!

Jun 8, 21
Verified Patient

I went in for an annual physical. I was surprised nothing was done to check my heart like my old doctor did in my previous location. Seems the doctor wanted to see my blood work before anything serious is done. I did get a Pap smear which was needed. I felt the exam was fairly superficial. I also needed a tetanus shot but the doctor forgot to tell anyone. I was left in the exam room for a while before I got help. The staff was very helpful in getting me the shot.

My visit was an emergency, I thought I might have a blood clot in my leg, after calling the office I was seen immediately and sent to the local hospital for a test to confirm the condition.

This was my first visit with this provider. However, she made me feel very comfortable with the concerns I presented. My provider took the time to get to know me.I was happy that I didn't feel rushed off the call, and she was knowledgeable about the concerns I brought to her.

Filled out forms on portal and they were not available to check in staff so I had to do forms again and don't know where the forms filled out are. There is valuable information for my provider as the sets of forms were different from the ones filled out in the office.

The front office was very polite and efficient, the nurses were awesome, The Dr. was totally useless. Knew nothing about the report on me an basically wasted my time and money and told me the specialist will need to do everything! Which I already have an appt. with. Complete waste of my time and money and I have no ins.
Apr 20, 21
Verified Patient

I felt like I was rushed through my appointment (for an annual physical); the doctor did not answer my questions or heed my concerns, she just seemed to be too busy; the medical assistant rushed through her list of things to tell me, as if I wasn't a patient at all, rather like I was a chart in her computer (so much so that I had a hard time understanding her, she was talking and walking so fast); I felt like all they wanted was to get me vaccinated, which I was going to do anyway. I am disappointed. I understand it's a tough time in the medical world now, but doctors and medical assistants need to listen to patients, especially those they have not seen in 5 years like me.

Verified Patient

Seemed understaffed in that I waited at check-out window and person at intake window (with no patient in front of her) inches away never looked to see I was waiting until another staff person walked towards me. Then she said "oh, I didn't notice you". No one asked me if I had been vaccinated yet for Covid but I did ask the staff person at checkout if they would make a copy of my "card" and enter it in my medical file - which they did. Southcoast Health should try to get that info on all their patients. No one asked me for this information during my entire time in the office and I am over 70.

Medical assistant was great. It was important to me to have my PCP informed of my latest medical update. I was surprised to learn that my doctor either a) wasn't aware of letters sent by the genetic counselor and the oncologist or b) had not read them or c) read them and forgot about them.

"A" for taking my appointment albeit via a televisit.While I know it's been a bad year for our healthcare professionals, there's no excuse to not be encouraging at the end of the 30 minutes by saying:"I'm glad you've been well.

I was so pleased and comforted by the immediate response I received today after testing positive for COVID. Today, I received calls from nurses and my primary care physician in a timely manner! Never waited. I have hypertension and persistent cough ...shortness of breath. Dr. DeLeo called me ...listened because she knows my history and ordered an inhaler. Schedule me for an X-ray to rule out pneumonia. I am feeling grateful and happy I chose Dr. DeLeo. My husband wants to switch!!

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.
