The way the front office screened folks coming in was very streamlined, and social distancing was easy. I felt safe and well-taken care of. This provider, Dr. Zeller, does the most comprehensive physical exam and verbal health history that I have ever received. She is also kind and listens well.

Normally I would be very happy with my doctor, but my doctor was not in and even her office seemed very confused the day I called. There was a lot of miscommunication. I called in the morning and didn't get it straightened out until after 3:30pm. Some of it was office and some was the doctor on call.

This was a first appointment, to connect with a new primary care provider. I think both the doctor and I would rather have been able to have an in-person appointment but with Covid, this was a good substitute. We have scheduled an in-person appointment in the fall.

This was the first time I met with Dr. Zeller because my regular primary physician was not available. I found Dr. Zeller to be very professional, attentive and just very nice overall. She listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and I felt comfortable and secure when my visit ended with her. I would not hesitate to see her again whenever my primary physician is not available.

Verified Patient

Staff was professional, friendly, and helpful. I was a new patient and I felt the doctor was thorough and listened carefully. There was some rushing near the end of the appointment, probably because I took longer than expected, and when I asked for the doctor to call in a refill on a medicine I was running out of, I was shrugged off a bit and I had to call after I got home to ask for the prescription to be filled. Otherwise this was a very good experience. I felt the doctor and staff were practicing excellent precautions due to COVID-19 as well.

Dr. Zeller has always been so patient with me, helping me understand my own care needs and helping me manage my care plans. She remembers things about me, showing that she is invested in me as a person and not just prescribing pills and treatments to be rid of me. If I needed a med refill, a referral, or a non emergent question answered, Doc Z was on it like white on rice. Dr. Z is the first to notice positive changes in me, and encourages me to keep my head up, even when my health has occasionally been a challenge for me. I’m grateful for her care.

This was a telemedicine appt which is always unique in its play-out. Dr Zeller was both extremely professional and personable especially with dealing with a sensitive issue that was the focus of my visit. While seeing a doctor over a computer with masks on and not having met in person before is extremely impersonal, I felt comfortable and listened to the whole time and appreciate the action she took and confidence she gave me in the plan going forward and referrals needed. I am thankful for the hard work being done by doctors and their office staff to meet needs while juggling public health and being proactive in technology options. Also, the office was extremely quick in finding me a referral appt and getting me into it and communicating with me.

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.
