Given the COVID-19 situation, I was a little skeptical about going to any doctor. Someone screened me before I was allowed to even enter. The receptionist and nurse were lovely and calming. Dr. Baltz seemed to know exactly what he was doing and conducted a few short tests to find the root of my painful neck and shoulder problems. After having a few x-rays taken - the technician being efficient and kind - he gave me a plan of action. Overall, the social distancing and sanitizing efforts were excellent, and the medical care exceeded my expectations.

I was very pleased with the care and attention received once I entered the facility. I am not sure if it was because of the holiday on Monday and my appointment was on Tuesday, but I was instructed to call once I arrived at the facility and at the parking lot. I did call and was on hold for 15 minutes and finally decided to enter the entry hall where I was greeted and told by the person who took my temperature that the wait had been about 20 minutes before someone would answer my call so that I could enter the Southcoast. I was concerned that I would be late for my appointment, which is why I decided to enter at the front door. From then on my experience was acceptable and I was attended to.

My visit was for a specific reason. Pain in my right shoulder. X-rays were taken and the doctor examined my shoulder for the source of pain. We discussed what was happening and why. He explained my options for recovery and proceeded with my permission and choice of recovery. He answered all my questions and will see him for follow up in 7 weeks. A pleasant experience as he is a new physician for me and i was pleased with the outcome of our meeting.

It is helpful having an expert opinion of what is happening to my knee. My art knee feels better after the Cortisone injection. I feel better knowing how best to treat my knee. Please let Dr. Baltz know that my High Profile Daughter [Name] agrees with his Plan of care. She was pleased that my knee “Required no further intervention.” Weight loss of course would help me waltz thru my remaining years. [Name] is married to a Navy Seal and I have to adapt to their lifestyle during The Holidays.

The doctor was very attentive to my situation and provided me with the necessary information on what was happening. I’ve only been there one other time before and yet I was treated with such special care. Everything was explained and well understood. The staff as well as the doctor were very receptive to my needs. It didn’t take long to see him and we were there very short time afterwards. I do not enjoy going to any doctors office at any time but this office made me feel very comfortable. They are very professional and understand their patients needs. I would recommend that office to anyone in the future.

The doctor was not the least bit friendly or engaging. It felt like he was disinterested in me as patient and basically wanted to move on with his day. His responses to my questions seemed like he was annoyed by the fact that I was asking them.

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.
