This office does not communicate well. The appointment was moved and I had to call at my original time only to find out it was moved with no attempt to call me ahead of time and inform me. The provider is excellent, I just wish it was easier to talk to people in the office when needed.

I came in and did see Dr. Ryback. He was extremely attentive and did a great job and analyzing and providing me with some relief as far as the the pain that I've been in. I can't say enough about Dr. Ryback. He is truly an asset to South Coast Health keeper. I'm one happy customer. Thank you.

Verified Patient

This office does not speak with me when scheduling visits despite my specific request to note in my chart to contact me first before making any appointments. Telehealth appointments have kept me waiting for up to an hour after the scheduled appointment time before my provider calls, which is unacceptable.

Staff is awesome. Dr. Ryback is amazing and I am so lucky to have him as my physician. He is kind, thorough, down to earth and an overall awesome doctor. He really takes time to talk to you as a patient and it is clear that he cares about his patients and staff. The nurses/physicians assistants are excellent and are always polite, courteous and thorough. Borden Medical associates is no doubt a 10 out of 10 in my mind and I highly recommend the Facility to anyone looking for a doctors office. I also would recommend Dr. Ryback in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an excellent doctor. This place is a gem of the Southcoast!

Staff is always nice. There were issues with calling the number to tell them I was in the parking lot. I called the correct number but was then transferred and told to call the original number. It took 15 minutes to get through. It was a bit frustrating. Once in the building all was good. Dr Ryback is a caring doctor and I have often recommended him to those looking for a provider.

I personally prefer an in office visit. This teleconference experience is not as personal as the one to one with my doctor. Given the pandemic it’s understandably best for all.

I was disappointed to have my yearly exam done by teleconference. I felt very, very rushed not able to really recall and explain everything I wanted to tell. My doctor as I see him infrequently. I didn't enjoy the tele, the video experience at all.

I personally prefer in person wellness care visits. Just not the same as remote visits. I understand the need to manage risk however, there is no substitute for in office visits.

Verified Patient

Yes, I was very pleased with Dr. Ryback, and his staff, on I thought the TeleHealth visit went very well. The only area that might be helpful for improvement on a TeleHealth visit is the wait time. My appointment was 11:45. I spoke with the medical assistant at around 11:50, and was then told that the doctor would be right there. I ended up waiting, I'm not sure, but I know it was at least another 20/25 minutes, on a TeleHealth that can be a little bit difficult when you're just kind of sitting there waiting for that prompt to come up. And not, you know, having a waiting room right there where you can kind of get feedback. That's about it. Everything was really well done though. Other than that little bit of waiting, which wasn't a problem for me because I had the time carved out, but*

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.
