Everything was great the only concern I have is the phone system. The wait time to talk to a human is so long. My husband and I were even considering changing primary care physicians. I've been assured that they are working on a remedy.

The only thing I would change is a little bit quicker, but I understand that it's possible with COVID that that is going to slow things down historically with this provider, (INAUDIBLE) South Coast Health even before COVID, It was exceptionally long wait times, which is unacceptable. I was, rest of the wait time this time, so it actually was faster than usual for me, but I would really appreciate it if- when I had an appointment at a certain time, that I was in there within 10 minutes, that would be extremely, extremely grateful.

It is almost impossible to get through on your phone. Waiting in the car before getting in the office is annoying. I am very frustrated with your process. Your office person on the phone was just very helpful, thankfully. I hope things improve, or I will be searching for another physician.

I was happy to be able to get a telehealth appointment but there was a lot of miscommunication and back and forth with the office staff that delayed my appointment and care. It took two days to get an appointment and the appointment ended up being over an hour late. The provider was very apologetic and I am sure it was out of her hands but it was very difficult on my end as it was the end of the day and the office was already closed. I was afraid that I was forgotten.

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.
