Verified Patient

I always appreciate my provider's attempts at connecting to her patients by establishing solid rapport... I have significant medical anxiety and always feel relaxed when a provider takes their time with me and does not rush through our appointment. Although this may reflect poorly in a providers "efficiencies", it is deeply appreciated by their patients.

Dr. Charnecki had many records to read, interpret, and process as part of my overall medical history as I had both heart & kidney procedures since last seeing her. She took time to read all other doctors' notes and discuss these with me. She also brought me up to date on unrelated issues I had been neglecting, made necessary referrals, sent me for a complete blood work-up, ordered prescriptions I had run out of, and explained any medical terminology I did not fully understand on MyChart.In addition to her relaxed thoroughness, she is an excellent listener and a compassionate communicator.

Dr. C is great. Unfortunately, she is given only a half hour to see patients. That is not nearly enough for an annual exam. She tries her best to fit everything in but there is not enough time. She apologizes and it is not her fault. This needs to change so that people get the time they need and she is not concerned about running late.

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.
