  • Office Staff were great.. and helpful. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) Maria Aguiar is an absolutely wonderful professional. Personable, knowledgeable and focused.. Thanks..

  • I love Marie Aguiar. She makes me feel comfortable, gives me peace of mind and after not seeing her for over a year she made me feel like she's been treating me my entire life. She spoke to me like a person, did not dismiss or diminish my concerns. Other doctors at other practices have made me feel like I'm crazy but she really listened to me and as I said provided peace of mind, I left my appointment today feeling better than when I walked in. She did not rush through my appointment and I would recommend anyone I know to go see her if needed.

  • I couldn't be more grateful for the care and attention I received. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Aguiar took the time to listen to all my concerns and made sure I felt heard. She went above and beyond to reassure me, addressing every question I had with patience and clarity.Dr. Aguiar truly made sure that I left the appointment feeling comfortable and confident in my recovery process. Her dedication and compassion are greatly appreciated, and I feel fortunate to have her as my doctor.

  • Southcoast is just a totally different world from Cape Cod Healthcare. Every time I have surgery I am treated with the utmost respect and kindness.

  • Marie Aguiar was exceptional. I cannot remember a provider who listened as intently as she did today. In addition, she answered all my questions and researched information that might be helpful to me. If only there were more Marie Aguiars.

  • I don't know how they could improve, she was a-1 in my book

  • Marieu00A0was excellent! I was impressed with her knowledge & quickness in figuring out how to help me figure out what is going on with me. She is sending me for a catscan & I had gone for a urine specimen.

  • While waiting for an appointment for an MRI I was given an appointment in your office to follow up on results. When the MRI appointment came sooner than expected your office adjusted my appointment to avoid a delay in my receiving results. That was much appreciated.

  • I loved Marie Aguiar. She was very informative, very confident, put me very much at ease. I'm disappointed I won't be seeing her soon because I enjoyed seeing her. I rate her and the facility a 10. I had a good experience with Marie. Okay, I look forward to seeing her again in two years. Thank you.

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.
