Make communication with Southcoast easier, less wait times & beaurocracy on the phone. Also, it would be great o talk to someone who is actually in the office, rather than to a distant and unconnected answering service.

The staff were very personable and professional. I have not been to a PCP in several years. Given the impeccable customer service I received at SouthCoast, I will now continue with yearly checkups.

The reception staff were very pleasant & efficient. I didn't have to wait long to see my provider. We discussed my health fully, developed a plan for care and scheduled some follow up appointments. It was a good visit. I would recommend my provider to other people.

Nicole Arnold nurse practitioner is absolutely the best physician. That's why I have followed her from her last practice. I would be lost without her.

Nicole Arnold NP, Amy, and other office staff were AMAZINGLY caring & kind. They were by far the best experience that I've had to date with a doctors office, however this was my first doctors appointment in a long while, there was lots of info that I didn't have, and lines of questioning that was incredibly vague and probably didn't even begin to scratch the surface of what we both hope to see or accomplish with future visits. I was also disappointed that she didn't ask for previous medical records, I just moved from out of state, and although not my "current" history it still could be beneficial nonetheless.

The staff was wonderful. I got lost getting there because I'm from an hour away and they were very well and worked with me. They were courteous, came in and out all the time. Nicole is probably the best anybody is going to find. She listens to everything, explains everything and just truly cares about every one of her patients, Nicole Arnold. So, overall, the...the place was fantastic. Even the blood work that I went for after the girl was super, fast, was able to do hands didn't cause any pain and listened to everything I suggested. Overall, fantastic facility.

Nicole Arnold was my provider at the Navy clinic. The best thing about turning 65 is that now i have to get care off-base, and she is my provider again. Even better than discount tickets at the movies….

Nicole Arnold is very patient and listens to you...something you don't always find in the profession. She does not rush you in order for you to explain why you feel the way you do, and what can we...meaning I the patient and she the Caregiver...do to make a 78 year old feel the best she can feel.

NP Arnold was knowledgeable, empathetic, made 2 imaging tests (one potentially very serious) happen at another facility late in afternoon. She was available to discuss after- hours, followed up next day. So nice to have support (including telephone) staff who are pleasant and efficient.

The initial call waiting times are unconscionable. We hesitate to call South Coast for fear we will be kept on hold half an hour or more. Once you do get through, the service is great--it's the wait time that's the problem.

Nurse practitioner Nicole Arnold is a tremendous credit to the south coast Health system. I had had a trip and fall with multiple points of contact. This was a follow up visit after urgent care and x-rays. She examined every point of body contact, listened with an astute ear to my explanation of how I was feeling, and engaged me in a discussion of pain management, and techniques for moving with fractured ribs. I felt that she listened to me completely and replied with professional care and practical ways in which to feel better. She is an outstanding healthcare provider and I am grateful to be in her care.

I loved how I didn't feel rushed during my appointment and I was able to ask all my questions. Nicole Arnold, NP was fantastic! She was so friendly that I felt instantly comfortable talking with her and she was able to help explain several of my medical concerns. It's not often you find an empathetic ear in the medical community as often it seems like you're just a number on a list but that was not the case with Nicole. Thank you Southcoast Health!

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.
