I had a face time call with my doctor. The whole checkin procedure and call with the doctor was quick and seemless - much better than during normal times!!

Dr. Zeller was the most professional and caring doctor I’ve seen in years. She really took the time to examination. Explained treatment, did the testing she deemed necessary. She was confident and made me happy, considering the circumstances.
Mar 7, 20
Verified Patient

I was there for over two hours. It seemed like the provider had to go in and out of the examination room a lot due to competing demands.

Dr. Zeller was very attentive and did a great job with my annual Medicare visit.

Verified Patient

I felt that the practitioner that I saw recently really listened to me as a patient and explained things to me in full, which I have not received in the past at the same facility. So this recent provider really answered all of my questions and made me feel like I left with a good understanding of various aspects of my health and ways in which I can improve it and make better choices. And really seemed to care about my health and my health history, and again how I can improve my health.

Dr Zeller was great, I was supposed to have an new patient exam but had something come up and she addressed that immediately and postponed physical for a few weeks. One of the best Dr-Patient experiences I’ve had.
Jan 14, 20
Verified Patient

I was a new patient which is why my doctor didn’t know my whole history. She was very thorough and asked so many important questions; she connected the dots between some of my concerns and brought up suggestions my former doctors had not. She spent a great deal of time really thinking about what I was telling her.

Dr. Zeller's thoroughness, communication skills, and listening skills are simply outstanding. The 45 minute wait to get thru the door followed by a 20 minute wait to see Dr. Zeller followed by another 20 minute wait to get a flu shot (and I flagged down a nurse to get it) were annoying. Given the thoroughness, the 45 minute wait was WORTH IT. The other waits could have been better.

Was 15 minutes late for appt. because of traffic. Thought it wouldn't matter because I always had to wait when previously there. However, this time my time slot went to someone after my appt, thus resulting in a long wait to get my turn.

Verified Patient

This was my first time at this location, as I am a new patient in the area. Everyone at the clinic was helpful and answered my questions thoroughly. I was esp happy with the check-out care, as the staff member talked me through all the plans, labs and referrals, plus made follow-up app'ts for me right then and there. The next day I came back for lab work. The phlebotomist was fantastic! Probably one of the smoothest blood draws I have ever had!

The wait was detrimental to my experience... I arrived as instructed 15 minutes early and then waited for over an hour from my scheduled appointment time. That was tough. People were nice though, and Dr. Zeller was kind and helpful.
Sep 27, 19
Verified Patient

I had a 9AM appointment and was not seen by my doctor until 10AM. I completely understand there may have been extenuating circumstances, but I was offered no explanation or apology for my wait.

The front office is very welcoming! [Name] didn't hesitate in giving me assistance with my paperwork nor did she make me feel as though I was asking for to much. Dr Zeller is informative, gracious and listens and hears every detail. She is truly amazing!

Verified Patient

My only complaint is that my last two appointments I had to wait 40+ minutes from my scheduled appointment time to see the doctor. I could understand running a little behind...up to twenty minutes for example...but 40 minutes? Too long.

When I see Dr. Zeller I never feel rushed. She listens attentively to my concerns.

I like the doctor however my appt was at 200 and I left at 445!
Sep 10, 19
Verified Patient

I arrived 15 minutes early as requested by text and was seen until 40 minutes past my appointment time. For a practice that frequently uses texting as a communication tool there is no excuse for texts being sent if a provider is running that late. I respect the facility’s time and felt mine was not respected, I left work early missing time with my patients as well. The doctor had no recollection of who I was and I will let that pass because it was only my second time seeing her but she walked right in washed her hands without saying hello (I appreciate the cleanliness) and went straight to the computer to look me up. After the brief appointment she left the room and didn’t instruct me on where to check out which was a completely different set up than the first time I was there. I eventually followed the poor signs to check out and found a group of approx 4-5 other patients and asked them if they were waiting to check out, they all stated that they had been there a while. I waited ten minutes before leaving as none of them were helped and no one ever addressed us while all standing there. There was one small bench and an elderly man that was forced to stand due to the bench only being able to fit another elderly women. Overall I was not impressed and this was my second chance as I wasn’t happy with my first experience.

The question about the provider knowing my medical history isn’t really applicable as this was my first visit. Provider listened to my concerns which was nice.

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
