Dr. Luc is wonderful. She's very thorough, a good listener. She was prepared for my virtual meeting and I had no problems at all with her. I would say 10, 10,10 all the way across. The only issue I had was I was told it was 11 o'clock, and when I called the office because I did not receive the call by 11:20. They they the secretary said to me your scheduled for 11:20, and she's running late. So I didn't get the call back until 11:30. That was the only negative experience of this virtual visit. Otherwise it was perfect. Thank you.

Dr. Suzelle Luc and her office got back to me right away. I was contemplating surgery and I had seen a specialist but I wanted to know about my Arthritis and how that would be affected.

Everything from Soup To Nuts was perfect, I go to call about 2 hours prior to the visit scheduled time - maybe even 2 1/2. Office is very polite, made sure that I was all registered, and went over the process of the TeleHealth - which is actually the video health visit. VideoHealth went very smoothly, Dr. Luc is exceptional. She got test ordered from another with conversing with another provider, all of that scheduled and set up very promptly, and I can't say enough about how wonderful it has been to be a patient of Dr. Luc's and including her office staff. Okay. Thank you.

Apr 21, 20
Verified Patient

Getting in to see the provider is normally a 4 to 6 month wait, even when you are an active patient or client and have ongoing progressive diseases so waiting 6 months to have your needs addressed is not the most ideal when someone suffering in pain they needs to be seen they needs to be I've been told the 2 year. This is going to be other people in the Rheumatology department and it's been this way for 2 years. So my 3 month appointment it's now 5 1/2 months out. So if there's a way to get that so that it's not such a big deal. That would be great. Thanks.

Given the current situation with the coronavirus.

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.
