    I'm a long time spinal cord injury patient that has had nerve pain for close to 40 years now and I met Priscilla Pond for the first time today to talk to her about pain management and she was just absolutely wonderful. She is a professional, she is smart, she listens closely and she tries to do the best to help you with your situation. So I rate her a 10 and would love to see more doctors just like her, nurse practitioners like her. Very good job. Thank you Priscilla.

    Priscilla was very good in listening to the problems I was having with my back, with my leg and went over advice and things that I can do to hopefully and helpfully improve it. So that was important and she listened really well and was very, very easy to talk to.

    I saw a new PA , Ms. Ponte at the office. She was wonderful to deal with, had a caring approach and was very helpful with my new infusion pump. It has different features than my older one that was replaced.

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.
