The lab phlebotomist seemed annoyed by my visit. She never said hello, simply "did you check in at the desk?" I told her my doctor just sent me over and she rolled her eyes and appeared irritated. Never said another word to me during my visit. She was rude.

I was told on the 15th that someone would call me. That never happened. I spent the entire weekend getting worse. I called back on Monday the 18th and got mixed messages, but finally an appointment. Appt at 2-didn't see the doctor until 3. Notes in my case indicated sore throat and fever-I never had either. Disappointed

Okay. I feel great about this provider because she explained everything to me. And when when I say something that she doesn't like she'll tell me and she'll tell me why she doesn't like it. You know, because sometimes you have your own opinion and not very happy with her, and I would recommend Fairwood to anyone.

That facility is clean. The people are helpful. Dr. Laxer, she can't retire. Because she's the only doctor. My husband feels comfortable seeing and she's wonderful. She's up to date on her information. She provides helpful suggestions, she's incredible. The lab personnel, the phlebotomist, are terrific. You don't even know you having blood drawn. That's how great they are. And my only suggestion is, you don't need to take the temperature in the through it. I in the middle of the head you can get the same reading on the neck, which is better and save up for the person. And I don't have any other suggestions. I mean they are terrific in that office and Dr. Laxer. She is a godsend. Thank you. Bye.

As usual, the staff and Dr. Laxer especially were very attentive to my needs and Dr. Laxer was a real joy to see after the covid shut-in. So, we addressed some of my needs and in fact, I will be seeing a couple of specialists that she requested that I see or I asked that she request that I see and hopefully, we're going on a happy trails. So I was really happy to see her and looking forward to the coming summer months.

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.
