    For the most part, everything was always on time. Every nurse and person that I spoke to or came in contact with was extremely courteous, caring, and answered any questions that I might have. There's always a smile on everyone's face. You can't ask for much more than that. Everything was just fine.

    Noticed that there were a few visits where the radiation therapy "on time/delay" status monitor was turned off. It would be good if it was always used and updated to reflect real-time status.Staff was very professional, kind and compassionate.

    The entire staff was very friendly and supportive. Many of them knew me and greeted me by my first or last name when I arrived for my daily treatment. They all gave me their best wishes upon the end of my treatments, and they all clapped when I rang the bell. They must all be special people to do this job and they should be commended for their work.

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.
