Well the office are has changed due to remodeling so it was a little confusing at first. The regular office woman was a different one and she didn?t know us. I loved the older office personnel but I?m sure the new one will get settled

From check in to check out everything was done in a friendly courteous and timely manner. This was my second time at this office and [Name] who checked me in remembered me by name.I feel very comfortable with my provider Dr. Charest. She is very professional and attentive to my well being. She makes you feel like you've know eachother for a long time. I hadn't been to a primary care doctor for over 7 years because I didn't feel comfortable and like the provider was giving me the best care. So to find Dr. Charest I am very happy and feel I can trust her with my care.

Staff was amazing! The office waiting room was oddly arranged and a little confusing. It resembled the “herding cattle” feeling that a previous office had. Originally can to this provider for the personal, smaller atmosphere.

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: Helpfulness of Clerks & Receptionists, 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.
