This is only my initial experience with doctor... with the orthopedic person. The first time I've seen him, so, I mean, I can't really judge. As we go on, it would be easier. But for a first impression very good, very attentive, very down to business, explained everything thoroughly, so that's what I can go on.

Hi Dr. Baltz and all of the ladies who work there are always very pleasant and professional and I get my cortisone shot in my knee and it's effective for a few months and I just wanted to say they do a great job. Thank you.

The women at the door taking temperature was sitting in a chair engrossed in her cell phone. I didn't even think she worked there. I was almost inside before she started the Covid screening. Never had any greeting at all. Dr baltz is borderline rude. He is quick in and out. I find his personality abrasive. I know he is good at what he does but he is not pleasant. This is not my first interaction with him and it's always the same.

Dr Baltz addressed my issue and explained that I might have two issues causing pain. He greatly reduced the pain in my hip with a cortisone shot. He had a student shadowing him that day and his staff asked whether student could observe the app. Dr B explained things in great detail as he examined me so that student could understand why he was rotating my hip and leg. Great doctor!

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.
