I do not like the Tele Health experience because I feel that the doctor needs to see me in person to judge my readiness.

Dr. Schwengel is always professional and knowledgeable. He was able to describe in detail an alternative drug to Praluent, which is not on my provider's formulary.

Given the limitations due to Covid, telehealth was a good alternative. Unfortunately I don't have a smart phone so was unable to meet literally face to face. I can see where this might be an issue with elder and poorer populations, and I feel so much more can be picked up from in person meeting about a person's health.So perhaps adding a Zoom feature might assist?

I felt like the provider doesn't really listen. The provider is friendly, but doesn't hear you out fully. It is difficult to get to know a patient and for the patient to express oneself in under 15 minutes.

Good visit with a cardiology specialist, Dr. Schwengel. I've been seeing him since the mid-2000s, so we're nearly old friends by now. Excellent doctor, listens and pays attention, explains things clearly. Also set up and did some of the prep work for my aorta repair (open heart) in 2007. That was an ordeal, but Dr. Schwengel not only discovered the original problem, but was excellent during the recovery.

We had an appointment over the phone, because of the COVID-19 outbreak. I was somewhat concerned about how that would proceed, but I need not have worried about it at all. [Name] called first to get me set up with the procedure, take my weight, temperature, blood pressure and medications list in a most efficient manner. A short time later Dr. Schwengel called and we went over everything for the past year and the coming year that I should anticipate with regards to testing. In every way possible this phone visit was most effective.

Dr. Schwengel was extremely helpful. He knew my history. He gave me suggestions. He used the mode of teleconferencing.

He gave me a lot of helpful information about house visitors that we're going to come and how they might how I might protect myself and my family from coronavirus that was useful and of course he made plans for the future and also recommended what my next step should be and it was a very professional useful helpful ended.

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.
