  • Nothing to improve. Extremely professional in every way possible

  • Everything was excellent except someone forgot to unlock the doors at 0830

  • I had a joint problem with my hand, Dr Baltz examined, diagnosed and explained it to me.I was concerned that it was worse than it actually was, what a relief.

  • Always get treated like family

  • I've seen dr Baltz many times for different ailments, he knows my body and my different situations related to work age etc I feel he always does what she best for me and my recovery

  • Dr Baltz was very caring and listened to my concerns and answered each one and directed me to the best treatment course for me.

  • Dr. Baltz is a careful, meticulous surgeon who is deeply concerned about the welfare of his patients. The above fact has been evident in every step of this process from evaluation to surgery to follow-up care. The overall culture in this health office is professional, courteous, and caring.

  • The care that I received from beginning to current with physical therapy has all been top-notch and could not ask for better.

  • Dr Baltz is very knowledgeable in what I need to do

  • Dr. Baltz and his staff were prompt courteous and professional. They provided the care that I needed. I am very pleased with the visit I had with them.

  • Excellent care, everyone was attentive To my concerns.

  • This was the first time in a long time I was surprised and very happy with how the Dr conducted himself

  • A more personable encounter would be helpful. This is not a very friendly,caring place.

  • Care was very good, only complaint was waiting 3+ weeks for appt with significant pain

  • Dr did not use my first name once in the visit. He was harried, rushed, impersonal, spoke demeaningly to me about a health issue he said he wouldn't address but was concerned about the decision I had made. I didn't appreciate being berated.Referred to front desk professionals as "girls up front". Woman who took xrays behaved as though I was a commodity not a patient in pain. Harsh movements of xray bed aggravated my pain.All in all super disappointing.

  • Excellent staff and doctor. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

  • All is good. I'm happy with Southcoast Health all around.

  • Explain thoroughly all options. Made sure I understood. Talked to me, not through me. Answered all my questions.

  • Dr. Baltz is an excellent surgeon. I was very fortunate to have him as my doctor. He took excellent care of me!

  • It would be great if he let the patient talk and express concerns and questions about problem.

  • Talked slow and low; stopped talking and listened whenever I started talking; asked me if I understood what was said, examined and done to me; no improvement is needed; phenomenal customer service from everyone involved.

  • Medical Assistant was courteous and professional. Physician was great. He asked many questions, listened to my concerns and provided answers. Thorough exam of knee area. Made diagnosis and recommendation for treatment and exercises. Pamphlet on information provided.

  • This is intended not to be negative but room for growth.From the nurse to provider, I did not feel I was asked and listened too in detail on my injuries, medical history or needs. I felt like a number, and felt as I got a speech based on the average issues they see in office. It may very well have been, but making the connection with the patient is important and the nurse cut me off twice when I was speaking to explain. I almost excused myself and left but I have been putting this injury off for two years and that was more important. I hope this helps!

  • Good timely experience. Got a cortisone shot all well explained. Works well. Thank you

  • Very personable and thorough throughout the exam. Clearly explained things And insured my understanding, but definitely recommend his services to the community as well as family and friends. Thanks.

  • Dr.Baltz always takes time to explain what was wrong & how he would approach corrective treatment. He always makes things very easy to understand.

  • Not much I had an excellant experience

  • Straight forward and worked with the information he had

  • Everyone in the office made me feel safe and cared for after my accident and then surgery. The staff is amazing. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for the care they provided to me.

  • All good. Dr. Baltz is great.

  • Everything efficient

  • Last time I received a cortisone shot I left feeling like I could walk a marathon!!! I was very impressed with the results. This time the pain did not seem to subside. I missed work the next day and shots don't seem to be effective after a few days. I guess I was expecting better results from the shot.

  • The entire staff was both helpful and professional. I drove 45 minutes, past several other facilities, due to my previous very positive experience with Dr. Baltz and the staff at this facility. I have complete confidence in Dr. Baltz's diagnosis and treatment plan.

  • Well, I mean you guys are very polite and helpful and understanding about my difficulties and scared thank you for that and help me with my sugar dropped when I got there. Thank you.

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.
