PCP saw me in a timely manner, listened well , always compassionate/concerned which means a lot. She addressed multiple interrelated medical issues thoughtfully considering my input to treatment planning/ goals. Given all the often unrealistic demands on Primary Care providers these days, she did an outstanding job.

Kathy Benevides, it was the first time I met her today and I was very pleased with her. She was very thorough and explained things to me in terms I guess that were easy to understand, even demonstrated some exercises that I should be doing. So I would definitely see her again if I could. The only thing, she's out of the Swansea office and I usually go to Fall River, but she was an excellent nurse practitioner. Thank you.

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.
