I understand that Dr. Laxer is very busy and very well liked, as I feel the same way. But, I almost dread going, because the wait always seems so long. I had a 4 o'clock appointment today. I got called in almost immediately when I got there. But I waited and I was told I was the next patient. And I waited 55 minutes for her to come into the room. Like I say, I understand that she's busy. But I was told I was the very next patient, that she was finishing up with a patient. I was next. And it still took 50 minutes. Not unusual.

The wait time was minimal in the waiting room and also in the exam room. The most important thing to me is that the provider ( Dr. Laxer ) takes her time with me. She always listens to me and never makes me feel rushed or like she needs to get out of the room. She makes me feel like I can take up as much of her time as I need. THAT is important. She always listens to my problems and concerns and if she cannot help, she always has suggestions on where I can go or who I can contact. I highly recommend Dr. Laxer to anyone needing a provider that really cares about you and your health.

Review own notes or history prior to in the room. Fatigued with having to repeat why something discussed, needed or considering. If concerns or disagree with other specialists prefer not to have to defend their suggestions as the patient. Feel Dr. Could make effort to put a call in to specialist to help facilitate care as one had continuous cancellations.

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.
