Verified Patient

The support staff and everyone I encountered leading up to the appt with the provider were great. The provider is probably very knowledgeable an experienced but consistently comes off as alloof, unfeeling and disconnected to me as a human/patient. I sense an arrogance that is off putting. I'm not sure I'll continue seeing him for my care.

My daughter had a Med student today and she was absolutely AMAZING. Her attitude was AMAZING! I'm a mother who has such anxiety about taking myself and my children to medical facilities. If everyone could be this patient, positive and happy the medical field would make us with fears go more often for our health. She explained everything throughly. Made my daughter feel safe and comfortable. The doctor who over saw her was also amazing. He was funny, caring and informative. Thank you both for showing my daughter was good health care can be. It will set her up for the confidence to take care of her health the rest of her life. Keep being you! Your doing amazing work.

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.
