About Tracie Costa

Tracie received her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, in Dartmouth, MA. 

Tracie was inspired to become a nurse practitioner after many years of working in an acute setting and seeing the end result. 

She considers her philosophy of care to be that of an upstream thinker. If she can get to the root of the problem, many acute and long term diseases can be avoided. It’s not always about which medication can be prescribed, rather it being about the utilization of basics such as nutrition and physical activity. She wants her patients to understand that the care provided comes from a teamwork approach. 

To her Southcoast Health means providing quality care to the community. It’s a great place where patients are valued and treated with dignity and respect. 

When not at work, she likes to travel with her husband, spending time at the beach and enjoys weightlifting and hiking.

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.
