    This provider is very caring, she listens and she pays attention to what you're saying. She doesn't think I had to give a diagnosis in her mind without actually getting all the facts first.

    Leah was kind, through and answered all questions professionally. She is only filling in at this particular facility but I would continue seeing her at another facility.

    I AM GRATEFUL TO HAVE BEEN SEEN IN A TIMELY MANNER AFTER THE SUDDEN ONSET OF AN INFECTION. THIS KIND OF AVAILABILITY IS KEY BECAUSE ILLNESS IS UNPREDICTABLE. ONE DAY LATER I AM ALREADY FEELING BETTER. THANK YOU. ALL AROUND, YOUR CARE, SITE, AND PERSONNEL ARE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD.

    This was my first appointment with this NP and I thought she was excellent. A great listener and thoroughly discussed her options and thought process with me. This was an urgent situation appointment (exacerbated asthma) and she really wanted to get to a good picture of what was going in and what led to change in condition. Very thorough and personable.

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.
