Had my first appointment with Dr Charnecki. I have had many primary care physicians in the past, but this was the most thorough physical exam and review of systems I have ever had. Dr Charnecki is warm, polite, and gave me useful and pertinent recommendations. She has a great reputation among her colleagues and it is certainly well-deserved. I would recommend her strongly.

I absolutely love Dr. Charnecki! I really felt like she took the time to listen to everything I had to say. I have a complex medical history and I really appreciate that I didn't feel rushed explaining it all as a first time patient. I rated that I wasn't seen in a timely manner, but I understand this provider really takes the time to do what she needs to do and I don't feel like my time was cheated at all. I'm very happy she took the time for me and for other patients she provides who needed her care. It was my first time meeting her and she's a truly compassionate person. I have never felt grateful for my PCP until today. Thank you so much!

Discussed w Doc that Referrals from her (my PCP Dr. Charnecki) from my last appt in June had not been followed through on by anyone in that office. I was expected to call the places I was made referrals to, which I did.Yet referrals are usually most expedient when PCP's office follows through. Dr. Charnecki was unhappy to hear this. I'm certain it will be different in the future.

Dr. Charnecki obtained all present and past information pertaining to a situation involving multiple disciplines/specialists in order to provide me with a plan for moving forward. Without her intervention at this crucial stage in the treatment and decision-making process, the outcomes might go in diverse directions.

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.
