Verified Patient

Asked questions, listened to my concerns, made recommendations and offered referrals based on my concerns, was honest about efficacy of repeating procedures for information so I could make informed decisions, and made sure I was aware of recommended vaccines and other wellness care available for my age group. Overall a good experience and I have no complaints.

Verified Patient

Dr. Zeller always gives the time needed to understand patients' needs as well as adjust her answers to a level I can understand (in my case a rather educated level). I am always left with the feeling of time well spent, plan in place, and that she listened to me. Well done, indeed.As for improvements--this consult was delayed, but I was given warning by the nurse. Such delays are not the norm, however. I appreciate the heads-up and simply used the time to meditate. I never felt rushed during the consult so never got the feeling she was attempting to make up time. Rather, she possibly went without lunch :-)Good job by all.

Dr Zellar has always been very thorough with my exams. Asks me a lot of questions. Listens to me. Talks about what I need to do to be healthier. Prescribes medications when needed. Monitors me on a regular basis with visits and blood work. Makes adjustments when needed. Overall she has been on top of my health for as long as I've seen her which has been about 10 years. And I want to continue keeping her as my primary care physician.

Dr. Zeller did a wonderful job of helping me figure out what was wrong and what to do next while giving me the resources I need to make my own decisions for my health. We worked collaboratively together and my condition was not something that she sees every day. Her care was much appreciated.

All the times I have been there I have been very satisfied with the care and outcomes. I think Dr. Zeller is a dying breed of doctor, as she is caring, and gets right to the point - which I love in a doctor. I just hope she doesn't retire any time soon as I had a medical problem she helped to get discovered and fixed for which I am VERY GRATEFUL!

I like Dr Zeller very much. The current state of health care has made it impossible for any physician to completely focus on a patient when computer information is difficult to find. They have to spend alot of their time looking at the computer. I do not fault them. I fault the medical industry.

I was seen quickly and was given all the information about my diagnosis and how to take it. My experience was very good nothing should be changed.

Verified Patient

Dr Zeller was very gracious and attentive towards me during a hospitalization to ensure we constructed a supportive plan for my aftercare and she also made space to follow up on questions I had about chronic health concerns and refill prescriptions. I appreciate her! Her nurse was also very kind and attentive to ensure I had access to a prompt appointment.

I had an appointment with Dr. Zeller. It was almost or rather last minute. She's excellent. I was very happy. She's very thorough. She listens. She checks everything. She's always asking questions about my health and different things that could be related. And I couldn't be happier than when I've had to see her for specific reasons or an annual each year. Thank you.

My annual exam visit with Dr. Kathleen Zeller, MD was outstanding, on par with every annual visit I've had for the past 8 years as her patient. Dr. Zeller's wholistic care is like a breath of fresh air. Responses to questions and questions asked are always so carefully and compassionately listened to. And each in turn, followed up with extensive knowledge on topic summarized with perfectly targeted, easily understandable takeaways. I left visit, as in the past, with plan in hand for the year ahead. Inspired, both my mind and body reset again for continually improvement.

Zeller did not take the time to listen or hear my concerns / health goals. She was very opinionated , condescending, demeaning and forceful and her opinion and treatment recommendations.

Dr Zeller is very thorough, asks appropriate questions and listened to my concerns. She came up with a plan for treatment and explained it well. I left there feeling less stressed and confident in her treatment.

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.
