Verified Patient

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.

I got into the office on time, little wait in the lobby. The triage nurse was on point and got my vitals done, and set up a flu-shot for me and Dr. Gendreau was win a few minutes later. Good visit, little time wasted but not rushed out the door. Was able to get my lab-draw an hour later, that was the only down side of the visit but I went and did some banking to use the time. The blood draw was quick and painless, good people and friendly to deal with.

Upon arrival We were screened properly to ensure safety for ourselves and others, we were checked in immediately, brought to a room as soon as check-in was completed, and the doctor arrived promptly after vitals were taken and shots needed were given. Our doctor assisted us in finding one to replace him since he is moving into a different field of medicine which I was grateful for. We were in and out in a half hour! We also had extremely pleasant and helpful staff assist us throughout the visit. Well done Southcoast! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

My physical visit went well. No issues and met my expectations. I was surprised that I needed to come back for blood work as the blood draw was booked for the entire month of October.

Dr. Gendreau always has a calming demeanor and is very knowledgeable about my specific health and needs. He takes his time and makes it a point to know you as an individual versus running you out the office.

New patient physical teleconference. Went well, happy with the outcome. I was pleased with the experience with Dr. Gendreau and the office staff. I appreciate the telehealth, I hope this option continues even beyond when it is needed, I see it as a good alternative for some visits both from a health perspective but also from a convenience perspective.

Would prefer face to face visit. But in these times of covid telehealth was adequate

Scheduling the tele health call was a bit strange, they gave a time then called an hour later to change it then called again before the appointment to say they would call at a certain time...a bit much. That said the video call was great and I recommend keeping this option.

I do not like telehealth. You cannot substitute this for an in-person visit, I guess it is a sign of the times. Do not make this the new standard in health visits. For the time being it is okay but not in the future.

Since this was my first visit with the doctor, it had to be done remotely due to the Covid crisis. I look forward to my first in-person visit in the future. However, the televisit with the doctor was done promptly at the scheduled hour and the doctor used a platform that was very easy for me to also utilized and thus made me quite at ease during the visit even though it was a remote one.

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.
