The prep nurse was very calming and helpful. She explained what the procedure entails and what I can expect during and after the procedure. The care provider, Dr. Pacheco was delightful, professional, and soothing. She explained what she was about to do, and carried out the procedure skillfully. Before the biopsy, I was worried sick thinking about it. Dr. Pacheco was reassuring, calming, and I cannot thank her enough for a job well done. Thank you.

This was the first time I saw this physician. Considering their circumstances with the computer and phone system down, they did an excellent job asking needed info from me and was very informative during my visit. I was very pleased

The receptionist, when checking in was most helpful, kind, pleasant, patient! I had issues with insurance, she suggested I call the insurance company, which I did: different health insurance! She called my doctors, explained I was having issues, but would be there as soon as we got it straightened out - which we did! She went above and beyond!! Unfortunately I did not get her name

Michelle Pacheco was very patient and was very good at explaining the need for this type of procedure vs another type. The staff at both Mill Rd and St Luke?s have thus far been very prompt, courteous, and patient with me. [Name]

Thank you so very much for time you took to fully understand what I was going through, I was so at ease with the professionalism I received from you and your staff throughout some very embarrassing moments. Thank you for your help and time.

Most of the office staff had long faces and complaining about things, that all could hear and I felt like I was a bother to them. Nurse that took me into the room had no people skills at all. As my nerves were already on a high level, she made no attempt to show any compassion. Just asked the routine questions and said Dr will be in shortly and left the room. Dr was pleasant and friendly, however talked somewhat fast and made it alittle hard to retain all that she said to me.

Dr. Pacheco was thorough, explained everything well, and seemed to be a highly skilled and informed doctor.However, I wasn't seen until an hour and fifteen minutes past my appointment time. I understand there are probably many unforeseen items that can come up and affect a doctor's schedule. This seemed like an extra long time to wait though. And, I don't think a doctor gets this far off schedule with just one patient. Perhaps they could have called patients to let them know the doctor was running very late. Many other patients also waited more than an hour and were not pleased with this. I waited weeks for this appointment, re-arranged my schedule and took time off from work. Proactively letting the patient know that the doctor was running very late would have been appreciated and would show respect for the patients' time. Unfortunately, receptionist [Name] made the situation much worse. She didn't have any empathy for the patient and her tone and demeanor was not friendly or professional -- with me and with other patients. This negatively affected the overall experience and was not a good first impression with this office.Thankfully, team member [Name] was empathetic, patient-focused, pleasant and professional. The very long wait and unprofessional receptionist reflect poorly on an otherwise seemingly great doctor.

This was just a follow up visit so not much could have gone wrong, but the visit was with a new (to me) doctor. I was seen right away and I had no concerns when I left.

It took an hour of waiting past our appointment time before the Dr came into the room. There was no apology for making us wait that long.

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
