    Verified Patient

    Better communication from staff about why the doctor was more than 1/2 hour late for the appt. which was at 9am. The tech knew she was running late, but only said "she'll be in once she finishes with another patient." I would have appreciated being kept informed that there was a delay so I could let my workplace know and approx. when I would arrive. I also would have been able to decide if I was able to wait that long until the doctor was able to see me. I arrived early for the appt. in order to finish and get to my job as quickly as possible. I understand that things happen but it's unfair to assume patients are able to wait as long as it takes for the doctor to be available.

    Outstanding doctor. She was up to date on all of my medical history. She always made me feel that she was focused on the process to elevate my current situation


  • Sep 1, 21

    The only thing is Dr. Luc's ask me to see her in 4 to 6 months and I don't have an appointment until May of next year. So, as 8 months out August. 9 months out instead of 4 to 6 months. That's the only problem like she's so booked other than that. Should be great, Dr. Thank you.

    I made one mistake in the beginning where it said that they take you in a timely fashion. Yes, they always do but I thought it was going to say, hit one for yes, and I hit one and then it said that was. No, that's not what I meant. They are awesome Dr. Luc is a wonderful person. I actually look forward to my appointments with her. She is such a good soul and you can tell she truly cares and she remembers everything about me and I could not ask for a better rheumatologist. The staff is always very friendly. They get me in there right away. They're always courteous and ask if I need anything. So, I would definitely recommend. And I do, I tell everybody how wonderful my doctor is, so thank you very much her and Dr. [Name] I cannot be more blessed to have to wonderful doctors to watch me get old.

  • Jun 24, 21
    Verified Patient

    The experience was wonderful. It was easy and saved valuable time. No waiting or unnecessary exposure. Honestly, even prior to COVID, that was always a concern. I hope that vitual visits become part of creating a plan of collecting diagnostic information prior to evaluations and reviews at office visits. It would be wonderful to be told that you need to schedule diagnostic testing, and then have to return to discuss the findings. I have always felt it would save so much effort if we could have our bloodwork and necessary information available prior to our appointment. That would also give the Dr. the opportunity to review any pertinant infomormation and set up any other important tests that might help expedite and resolve any health issues.


  • Jun 24, 21
    Verified Patient

    I believe Telehealth visits facilitate the need to isolate one from the other during the Covid outbreak but, it is my fervent hope that the practice will revert to in person office visits as society is able to return to normal. It is much easier when asking and answering questions to see the expression and eyes of the health care provider and to be able to point and to and explain the problem while trying to verbalize answers to a doctor's questions.

  • Apr 10, 21
    Verified Patient

    My appointments seem to get moved often. DrLuc is great but the girl you make your appointments with , needs a definite attitude adjustment. I put my purse of the counter so I could put my new appointment in my phone and she started pointing to the sign that says not to lean on the counter. I said that I was not leaning. Also I didn't know she was in a call and started saying when I need my next appointment. She did not look up or acknowledge me. She could have put a finger up or pointed to her headset or told the person on the line to hold a second. She should have done something. She was the same way the last time I came in. I was going to send Dr. Luc a note regarding this girl.

    Dr. Suzelle Luc is Intelligent she listens, she looks she recognized on my arms that there was something I didn't even know is there. She told me about it and stays in touch with all my other doctor's to make sure I have care for the whole person. She listens very carefully and then she tells me what she thinks and what she plan what her plan is. We work on it together.

    Verified Patient

    Dr Luc has always been a great doctor and has continued to show me she cares about my health. Today was a perfect example of how great of a doctor she is. She took a lot of time to hear my concerns she personally reached out to other doctors to confer with and helped set up appointments so I could get the best care possible. Her medical assistant was kind knowledgeable and positive. Her receptionists were on top of all the paper work I needed and explained my instructions while being kind and professional. I believe everyone in this office is an asset to any health care group and to all patients! And no, I wasn't paid to write this :) I don't leave many reviews (I'm sure my history of reviews can be checked) but I just happen to have an urgent issue while being 6 weeks pregnant and on a tough day I was relieved to be treated with continued individualized empathetic care by skilled knowledgeable professionals.

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.
