Saw the physicians assistant immediately and the doctor shortly thereafter. Entire appt lasted 15 minutes.One annoying procedure is the request to show my Medicare card every time I go for a repeat appointment. Nothing has changed with the Federal program as far as I am concerned.

Oct 19, 21
Verified Patient

I did not receive an appointment reminder telephone call, but the office indicated that their automated system indicated that an automated message was left, and the date it was left. Clearly the automated system was improperly programmed, and most likely started leaving a message before my answering machine finished my message, and finished with leaving a useless message that was not traceable to the Doctor, because the phone number was not the Doctor's phone number.

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.
