You care and really listen to what I had to say
Southcoast Health. From check- in to check-out, to the nurses and Dr. Messina, everyone couldn't be more wonderful, hospitable, and caring. You feel like family here. I've never had an issue getting questions or concerns answered in a timely manner and they're very diligent with getting you in. I'm super happy with the medical care I receive at Southcoast Health.
Dr Messina was never hurried and gave me time to discuss all my questions and concerns
All ways treated well.
Work on scheduling appointments to minimize wait time, particularly in the examination room.
The long wait is very frustrating. I could use that time.
The entire experience at Rose Brook is top notch. We're very grateful for their services!!!
I was impressed by the time Dr. Messina took to explain and answer my questions. I have hypertension and taking my blood pressure immediately after walking up a flight of stair and a long walk to examination room does not seem to make sense.
I don't have anything bad to say about the office staff, and most importantly, Dr. Messina! He is a young, kind very smart doctor! He takes time to explain things and most important. He always listened to my questions and concerns. I love his professionalism and how he takes care of my health.
I have followed this provider for many years. One of my first provider as I moved from NC 15 years ago. He is amazing. Treats me like a human. Show that he cares. I went from cap Cape to Southeastern and I LOvE IT!!!Now my mother has moved here and has him as well. Thank you.

Dr Messina explains things in a simple and respectful way- he is so knowledgeable and kind
Dr. Messina is a great doctor. I felt like he genuinely cared about being a doctor and helping people. I was told by the very nice nurse I had that sometimes he can run behind schedule so just let someone know if I couldn't wait any longer the wait was taking too long. I told her sometimes that is good because it means the doctor is doing their job right and not rushing patients out. Dr. Messina is what a true doctor should be, he listened to my concerns with true attention and addressed everything I had questions about. I can't remember the last time a doctor had the patience and care that Dr. Messina showed toward me.
listened well, very knowledgeable, caring and very good 'bedside manner'.
