The medical assistant was quite thorough asking questions about my knee condition and typing in my comments while I described it. Also, Dr. Blatz was quite thorough in his physical exam of my knee and patiently described the facts of arthritis and how to treat it. I left feeling that I had all of my questions answered and my concerns allayed.

I appreciate the prompt service! The front desk reception/check out staff were pleasant as was the medical assistant and x-ray technician. Dr. Baltz is clearly knowledgeable and I appreciate and agree with his treatment recommendations. I wish, however, the x-ray was taken after he examined me since the area of concern was in a different area as the pain was radiating to the area where the x-ray was taken. If I have future Orthopedic issues, I will likely search for another doctor. Dr. Baltz while clearly knowledgeable, seemed to lack empathy and bedside manner. I certainly understand we all have bad days and are overwhelmed! However, I left feeling like a burden which is not conducive to healing.

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.
