    We have been a patient of Dr. Schwartz for 45 years. He is always concerned about your health problems. Listens to your concerns. Talks to you in a very understanding way. Gets back to you quickly about any test results. He calls you at home and gives you all the results of your tests. I would recommend him highly. Glad he is our physician!

    I have known this provider for a very long time. Had I thought this man were not of the highest caliber for my many complicated medical history, I would not have stayed with hi, and that means I will stay with him as long as possible, he's the best as far as I'm concerned…

    Everything is fine. He's wondering a test. I need to find out what's wrong with me. So, I'm happy with the way things worked out, and that's all I got to say. Okay, thank you. Bye.

    I wanted to just say, the office is great. I called in the morning. They called me right back. They were very thorough and then they set up my televisit with Dr. Schwartz, and he called earlier than what I thought, and he did a great job. He was very thorough and we were very happy with everything. Thank you.

    Yes, he's been calling now home. I'm afraid to go out. I couldn't get the covid shot. So they've been calling me on the phone in that and this is great. I like to keep doing this if I can if I need to see him. I will, but it's not necessary. I think the phone call is great and I thank you very much.

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.
