    Both the nurse's call and the doctor's call were right on time. Both were professional,attentive but easy to talk with.The doctor asked questions, made decisions and informed me of what would take place. Nothing left unanswered.

    As always, my appointment with Dr. Schwartz, which was a tele-appointment was excellent. He's the best. However, the ... he was trying trying to get the visual to work, and we couldn't get it to do it. So, that's something either I was not doing right, or not really clear directions on how to get the visual. But we spoke and all my questions were answered. He was terrific. Okay. Thank you.

    I arrived at the medical providers office and was quickly greeted where I checked in. I just had about enough time to sit down in the reception area when I was summoned by the nurse. It doesn’t get any better than that.

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
