Nicole Arnold is a very caring provider and she listen well and makes the time for her patients. I also feel that the front office staff and the individuals who have been working from home when a patient calls in our very considerate and they try to take care of things in a timely fashion. I think this is an excellent facility with providers that genuinely care about the patients.

The intake nurse who did my vitals on this visit was the best I have ever had at Southcoast. Very personable and thorough. My nurse practitioner is always very knowledgeable and attentive . The only thing that would improve my experience is the fact that I don't think they remember me specifically or my health record. I don't go in but once a year, so I get that, but it makes me wonder if I shouldn't go to a private office.

I was seen right away for a problem that I encountered that day. I was very appreciative of Nicole Arnold and Dr. [Name] [Name] for seeing me because I had to be seen that day. They were both very very professional and very helpful with the problem that I was having. Southcoast is very lucky to have both of them representing their Hospital facility.

I received care from NP Arnold, who was excellent. Being 77, I sometimes feel my age "gets in the way" with some professionals but not with this lady. She listened, did not dismiss and we are persueing my issues.

I was so glad to have a reasonably immediate appointment and address my issue. The call procedure was a bit awkward, with a few calls the hour before the appointment I didn't expect. I would have helped if upon making the appointment I was told that I'll need to allow space an hour before my appointment for check in calls and routines. The team was all good spirited and professional, thank you!

Nicole Arnold NP knew a great deal about my new issue which I did not expect. She gave me a clear course of action without drugs which I highly appreciate! I was extremely disappointed that my initial phone calls to the office were never answered and I needed to make an office visit just to make an appointment. I learned there was some problem with the phone set up. However in general the time I have spent on the phone waiting for the initial pick up is way too long. [Name] in the reception role is great!

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.
