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.

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.
