  • Hello, I have two points to make. First of all, I made a mistake in answering one of the early questions in the survey that asked if I was seen in a timely manner. I mistakenly pressed one for the answer no, which is incorrect. I was seen extremely promptly by the nurse and the provider. So please make a correction there. The nurse, [Name], and the doctor, Dr. Vazquez, could not have been nicer. They listened very attentively to my needs and I was very satisfied, highly satisfied with the visit overall. So A++ for everyone. Thank you.

  • Dr. Vasquez is the ultimate professional. I was extremely pleased to finally get an appointment with him. He explained everything to me and we had an incredible conversation, a real dialogue, and I am most impressed with his patience, his compassion, and his confidence. He is a really smart man and I am totally trusting of his judgment and the decisions and the plan that we've worked on. My only regret is I didn't get in to see him sooner. I understand the system and he was very busy, but I think it was at least a four-month wait before I could get in to see him. So I really appreciate that another doctor intervened and that I was able to see him sooner.

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.
