Dr F is incredible, the staff in the office is always super helpful and welcoming. They always make me feel like I'm the only person they're helping and never let the stress of their job impact their service. They deserve every ounce of praise and credit for making that office run as smoothly as it does and regardless of how well they're paid it should be doubled.

From the front desk staff who checked me in, to the medical assistant [Name] who did my assessment, to Dr Fruggiero, everyone was courteous and timely. I've always been pleased with Dr Fruggiero and how thorough he is and how he always listens to my concerns. To me, it is important to have a physician who you can have open communication with and create goals of care together. I've recommended him to several people and will continue to see him as long as he is in this area. I am very pleased with the care I received today and every other visit I have had in that office.

I just had a waiting room for it felt like forever, but I also have no sense of time. But I was there for like an hour for the physical, so that would be my only if you could even call it a complaint. But otherwise Dr. Fruggiero has been amazing and I feel listen to when he's been, he's been lovely as well as your support staff. [Name] I think was helping me out and he was delightful. So, kudos to them. Thank you so much.

Dr. Furggeio has always taken a very personal approach to my health. He does not hesitate to bring in other people to get just the right answer; as an example consulting with my cardiologist prior to changing one of my medications. Dr. Furggerio is very thorough. We are lucky to have him. Replacing Dr. [Name] left huge shoes to fill. Dr. Furggerio is doing a nice job of filling those shoes.

The meeting check in was right on time but I had to wait for half an hour to speak to the provider.This is standard for office visits but when it's Tele , couldn't the schedule be more precise? I understand that the doctor may have been busy with someone in need, so it's not that big a deal.I may have been irked if I had a busier schedule. Fortunately I'm retired.

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*

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.
