Sophia Rizk is a true star in her field. I am a physician and so I know a bit about what's going on with me. She knows just how to talk to me. She is sympathetic, calm, reassuring and incredibly well educated. She is a superstar.

As a person who did not seek medical care for some years, I have really no standard to judge you with, but I always feel I am valued as a person and a patient and that I am listened to, and actually seen, by the several people who get me in and out of the experience.

I arrived to my appointment a little late due to me going to the wrong building. When I arrived [Name]at the front desk made the comment "you know your appt was at 9, right?" I told her I went to the wrong building and she proceeded to give me an attitude and said "I will have to message the doctor to see if I should register you because everyone is coming in late today. Have a seat and fill out this paperwork while I wait for her to get back to me". Once the doctor messaged her back stating she should register me, she proceeded to verify my information across the waiting room instead of calling me up to the desk. She was very rude and unprofessional.

Dr risz listens, even when not a matter dealing with my past cancer scare. Very caring and helpful.

Doctor presented bad news very bluntly and uncaring. A very much different explanation of my medical situation was given today, than the explanation and forecast that I was given a week ago.the Doctor was talking in a monotone voice, and was reluctant to answer questions, or tell why she changed her prognosis. There had been no testing between our last two meetings. Just a change in what she had said from Wednesday to Wednesday.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rizk. She listens, she's thorough, she follows through and she has kept me alive and essentially healthy even though my diagnosis is Stage 4 metastatic melanoma. Currently the CT scans are clear, but that's all thanks to Dr Rizk. I couldn't ask for a better oncologist.

Arrived about ten minutes before my appointed time. After about 3 minutes waiting I was taken in for my labs, and less than five minutes later was taken in for my appointed meeting with the DR. After a completely un-rushed meeting with the DR. my appointment was completed. I left the building approximately fifteen minutes after my initial scheduled meeting time. What a great experience.... had two appointments and left the building in approximately 25 minutes! That is the way appointments are suppose to work!!

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.
