Dr. Fruggiero is my new PCP following Dr. [Name] who took care of me for over 30 years. Dr. Fruggiero has proven to be excellent so far. He is always up to date on my conditions when I see him. Dr. Fruggiero is a good listener, always takes time to explain things, and is very thoughtful and concerned about my care. It was very difficult saying good by to Dr. [Name] however I feel very comfortable with Dr. Fruggiero he's a good man.

So, I had a great experience. My first new patient appointment with Dr. Fruggiero, unfortunately because of the snow it was telehealth which was kind of little bit aggravating because I did have a lot of things I needed to go over. So, but you know, he really did a good job even though it was over the phone. We couldn't get the video to work so I think something needs to be done about improving that system because I have a brand new phone I mean and I, you know, great service so I don't know why I couldn't get the video to load. So we just did it over the phone. So that wasn't really the best for a first appointment with somebody, you know, definitely not the doctors fault but, you know. Getting the video fix would have been nice and also my one another complaint was I had an appointment that got changed, you know, because they*

Hi, I just want to pass along some compliments on every time I come in to see my primary doctor, Fruggiero, everyone including reception nurse, nurse practitioner, scheduler, you know, the medical assistance. It's been a rough couple of months to me and I've never been treated better in my life. I'm, it's my pleasure to do business with South Coast Health. I've always had positive experiences. So I really can't think of anything else to improve other than just keep up the good work. Thank you.

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.
