My first interaction with my initial phone call was amazing. Monique was her name, and took time to explain everything. The call today, the pre register me - again amazing staff. And then the icing on the cake - Dr Gendreau via telephone health! I felt like I was having coffee with him, he was patient, answered my questions, I took notes, and it was an amazing visit. And then shortly after, I got a call again from the amazing office, to schedule a follow up. Amazing care. Thank you!

Hello. Yes, the office staff when they called me prior to my meeting. We're outstanding and the office staff that called me after the meeting with the physician was again outstanding. Dr. Gendreau was phenomenal. I have heard so many good things about him, prior to meeting him on our Tele Health Visit and I was very impressed and very glad to know that I'm in his care. I feel very comfortable with him. He gets an A plus plus. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this information.

My visit beginning to end was flawless. Everyone greeting and directing was friendly and efficient. I did not have to wait to be seen by my doctor or in the lab for blood work. The women in the lab were friendly and efficient, and the woman who drew my blood was so skilled - not a pinch and very quick. The computer to sign into the lab was quick and easy to use - took less than half a minute. My doctor Kevin Gendreu is the best doctor I have ever had - clear, friendly, knowledgeable, caring - inspires comfort and confidence.

Hi, all I can say is I'm 72 years old Dr. Gendreau is the most wonderful wonderful doctor I have ever had in my entire life. He's knowledgeable. He's smart, but most of all, he's the kindest most compassionate person. I am so sad that I am going to be losing him for my PCP, but people that are going to receive him in their new his new practice are extremely extremely fortunate. We just adore him. Thank you.

Even though it is necessary during this pandemic and even though we don't have pressing medical issues, it still isn't satisfying to "visit" with our doctor over the phone. The medical technician that made the pre-visit call was wonderful and the doctor was very helpful, but we miss the face to face contact.

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.
