Dr Arnold is a kind and compassionate provider. She always treats me with respect and provides the best advice that she can. She listens to me. That is the most important thing. Sometimes, I just need someone to listen to the issues. She reaches out to me for updates as soon as possible rather than waiting for the next visit. She might be home and I still get a phone call follow up to ensure that I am getting my medications in a timely manner. She follows up with specialists that cannot see me in time. She tells me how to manage new medical situations like with my long-term hospital visit. I wish I could take her with me when I travel because I have not had a doctor like this in a very long time. Most of all, when she has to perform diagnostics on me, she doesn't hurt me. Her staff also treats me with care. She is a fantastic doctor.

Everything was great except the computer wasn't working to pull up my chart. Obviously technical issues aren't the staff's fault and did not really affect my visit. I felt very comfortable with Nicole and would recommend her as a PCP

Nicole Arnold is wonderful. She takes the time to listen and also takes the time to provide solutions. She makes me feel at ease and it is evident she cares about my well-being. As someone who has experienced a number of odd health challenges and poor medical care, I cannot even begin to express how much I appreciate her kind demeanor. She makes me feel heard.

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.

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.

Verified Patient

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.

All questions were answered and Flu shot was available. Thank you for the professional service and following Covid safety regulations.

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….

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.
