Dr. Messina is always perfect! I feel heard, seen and all issues are addressed! He is the cream of the crop! Kudos!
He listens and cares.
Dr. Messina was incredible. This was my first visit with him, as I am a new patient, and I was grateful for my experience. He listened, was extremely thorough, and went above and beyond to make sure all the right test were ordered. It was so refreshing to have a doctor who was present during the appointment and didn't blow off my concerns. I feel extremely lucky to have him as my primary care doctor.
Dr Messina listens. He explains everything and cares. He is an asset to your organization for sure!
The experience was phenomenal. Dr. Massina's whole staff are professional, well-informed, and friendly people. I enjoy my visit every single time. They are the best. Thank you.
Dr. Messina is a great doctor. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and come up with a plan to improve my health.
We like Dr. Messina. We also liked the student that was working with him [Name] He interacted with my special needs adult child really well.
implement system that supports provider being on time. Wait times have been 45-60 minutes, and by the time I see my provider I am so uncomfortable I am not interested in any conversation with him. I feel greatly disrespected and diminished by this. I do not blame the provider but hold your system responsible.
I was in the exam room for over one hour waiting to be seen.
Dr M is a gp role model
Although Dr Messina can run behind, he never rushes you, answers all your questions and is very thorough. I like that he asks about diet, exercise and sleep.
Dr. Massana is a very nice doctor. He listens to his patients very well. However, he is never on time. Quite often he's sitting in a waiting room 30 minutes waiting for him. He's always late unless you get there first thing in the morning. That is his flaw. Other than that, he's excellent. Thank you.
Everyone was friendly, helpful, and kind. Dr. Messina is exceptionally patient and knowledgeable. He is the best physician I have ever seen.
Everything was great on time and courteous
Professional, courteous and informative behavior demonstrated by all staff.
Dr. Messina never ceases to amaze me!He is kind, knowledgeable and very intelligent! Everyone in South Coast practice is wonderful! I travel from the Cape to see Dr Messina and it's worth every mile! Thank you to everyone in South Coast practice for all they do!Sincerely,

Michael is an amazing doctor. I'm 69 1/2 years old and have never had a doctor so tuned into me and so attentive.I told him he couldn't retire until I die
South coast Health is very efficient and caring. Dr.Messina has been wonderful with me in making sure I get the appropriate tests needed to ensure I am receiving what is needed for a new found issue I am having. He takes the time to really listen to you! Greatly appreciated.
Dr. Messina is very knowledgeable and caring and takes time with me and answers all my questions and I really enjoy having him as my PCP.
Knowing about all my medication's needs and honoring what I do need
Dr.messina saw me as a new patient and immediately ordered blood tests and scheduled other tests.then left message same day in my chart with concern with my test results,needing further test to adress issues im experiencing.for my initial visit.dr.messina is thorough in his manner.
From reception through check out, all people involved in the process are polite and respectful.
Everything went well as always,, the reception staff is very nice and Dr Messina is a wonderful doctor. He explains everything, he listens to everything always asks about my specialists and always takes his time. I never feel rushed. Definitely a wonderful doctor.
Dr. Messina is very personable and makes you feel as though you are being heard. He is clearly very knowledgeable and explains things in a way that is easily understood. I'm not sure if he is taking new patients right now, but always refer people to him.My only observation during my last visit is that he seemed rushed. It wasn't that I didn't get all of my concerns and questions addressed and answered, I just felt like maybe he was being over-booked, which is a common complaint I have heard in the past regarding Southcoast physicians. It worries me, because I have had several past practitioners just up and leave Southcoast, and am hoping that will not happen again.
The staff, from the minute I walked in were friendly and welcoming. Dr. Messina was friendly and thorough. He understands my history and is helpful in any of my concerns. It was a good visit.
Generally on time today!!! Suggested I use the Lab downstairs to have blood drawn. It was quick and easy.
The staff was very helpful. The nurse practitioner or I believe her name is [Name] was very, very nice and very knowledgeable. And my first time meeting Mr. Michael, Dr. Michael Massina, and I enjoyed him very, very much, extremely knowledgeable. And it's my first time meeting him. I had a prior doctor with you guys that's no longer with South Coast that I was not happy with, but I heard she's no longer there. So my new doctor is Michael Massina. And again, very, very knowledgeable, very, very patient. And I enjoyed him tremendously. Thank you.
Everything was well done. Dr. Messina was excellent as usual. No improvement needed.
Dr. Messina and all staff make the visit comfortable in and informative. I'm very thankful that I have such an attentive doctor!
Waiting once you're in the room, sometimes to too long. Everything else is great.
Respected my time, listened to what I said and provided feedback or gave suggestions
M.D. Extremely detailed and listened carefully to any questions I had
Listen attentively

Dr Messina is the best provider I have ever had - he takes the time to explain each issue and is always well informed of your personal health issues— he takes time to listen and you can ask him endless questions and he is patient and kind and you learn so much. He is exceptional!!
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.

South coast did everything correctly from the first person you meet to the doctor! Outstanding! Glad I transferred when my doctor went thereu00A0
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'.

Be on time, and at minimum inform me of the expected wait when i arrive, check with me while i sit in the exam room (waited for 40 minutes after nurse left today) ideally call me if dr. is 30 minutes or more late.
I never felt rushed during my appointment. I was NOT just a number .
Was seen as close to my appointment time. Dr was thorough and completed in a timely caring manner
