Dr. Babb always takes the time to ask questions about my health. She takes her time. She gives me a chance to answer with more information probably than what she needs, but she is always attentive, always caring, and always concerned about my health, my medications, and what's going on in my life. And I really appreciate having her for a doctor.
Dr. Babb took her time to listen to my concerns and counseled me in a way that I could understand. I think she's the best primary care physician I've ever had.
Make me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions
Dr. Babb is a very good listener. She changed one of my medications to one that works better for me. She also suggested to schedule physical therapy for me for chronic muscle pain. I trust her judgement.
Southcoast health is always my choice for my care.
[Name] at the front desk is kind and courteous. The medical assistant being trained by [Name] was very respectful. [Name] rn gave me an injection efficient and very sweet nurse. Dr Babb listens, makes recommendations and is right on top of my healthcare. Wonderful doctor. [Name] at check out answered questions and provided information about scheduling recommended tests. Everyone was very nice. The office looked great. My only suggestion would be to have the bathroom floors professionally cleaned.
For yearly appointments it is easy to make appointments with my primary Dr., but when I would like to see my Dr. if I'm not feeling well, I am assigned to an assistant/nurse practitioner. I wish I could always see my Dr., but I do understand that that care system is no longer possible. I miss the old system of care. I do like my Dr. very much!
Dr.Kimberly Babb truly takes time to listen to all my concerns and ordered tests the very same day . We need more like her. No complaints at all .
Courteous front office and checkout staff. Very professional and friendly nurse check in and health assessment. Felt I had a thorough checkup with Dr. Babb and health plan suggestions. Feel very fortunate as a patient to have such good primary health care coverage.
Not have a patient waiting in a room for over an hour without anyone checking in.
