Please note that the visit was a telehealth visit. First, a staff member called 1/2 hour before the scheduled appointment to ask the routine questions. Then the actual video telehealth call did not happen until 2:30. The appointment was scheduled for 2:00 pm. My expectation is that the visit starts when scheduled.

Hi, I just want to say that Dr. Laxer is a great doctor. In the past, my daughter had some serious issues, and she was already right there to call me, you know, try to get him in to see other doctors. So, Dr. Laxer is very, very good, that my sister and I switched to go to her. We had doctors already, but we switched. So she's very good. She calls you if she needs to, and I have to say, I don't even plan on switching, so I hope she stays our doctor a long time.

I enjoy Dr. Laxer very much. I feel she is very knowledgeable, and very helpful. My appointment was scheduled at 11:00 AM. I was brought into the exam room in a timely manner. I saw Dr. Laxer at a few minutes before 12:00. Though I did not mind the wait because I was accompanied by a friend who helped pass the time. Had I been alone, the time would have passed more slowly. Otherwise everything went very well.

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
