  • On the morning of my 2pm appointment my wife tested positive for COVID, and I tested negative. We checked your website and saw that she could attend as long as she was masked. We both wore masks, I checked in, and an assistant took us into an exam room. I told her of the test results and she said we were fine. When the doctor came in without a mask on he asked us of the results, we told him, he said we should have been turned away at the front desk, but said it was okay, got himself a mask, and proceeded with the consult and exam.My point is your appointment message may be out of date.

He listened to my detailed description of symptoms, explained my situation in the most precise way possible in a way I could understand and he made me feel heard and valued not only as a patient but as a person. Every specialist and provider should take a page from his book. As a nurse, I observe things that most patients might not be able to see if they don't work in the field. For years, I have been dismissed or treated as just another name on a list of people to discharge. Dr Costa truly understands what the mission of healthcare is and he brought forth my confidence in trusting healthcare providers when I was starting to question the integrity of the system.

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.
