    Hello. Yes, the health care provider that I saw the Dr. Dacunha was absolutely insistent that we got to everything all my needs and she addressed them and I walked out feeling comfortable that everything that I was going to do and what's going to happen was going to enhance my ability to become even more healthy than I am and that's a good feeling. So there you have it. I feel very good about seeing her. Alright. Thank you.

    My only concern is getting the phone line through on my cellphone. When I call the number back from my cellphone's voicemail message for precheck, it leads me to the main number. Then I must wait in a que.

    Yes, I was unable to do a virtual appointment because my reception where I live was too poor. I could hear them. They couldn't hear me but they immediately got me an appointment within a week. I was pleased to get an early appointment early in the morning. And as I said, I've been pleased to be in this practice, but I really had been afraid going to the doctors to due to covid. So I wanted to do it virtually but that didn't happen but they got me in and I was pleased about that. And she's always listen to anything I've had for needs and I needed a referral for a neurologist and she got one someone that was in the practice to see me within a few oh two weeks I think. So I am pleased.

    Doximity doesn't work, I was unable to use my smart phone for a face to face with my Doctor. I won't know if it works until the next time my Doctor sets up another teleconference there is no method to work out problems with this app. I talked with them directly and all they said was "wow we've never seen anything like that before!". Might be my last teleconference this was my second try. Please help.

    Very pleased with my first telehealth FaceTime appointment. Dr. DaChuna is the best PC I've ever had.


  • Jan 7, 21
    Verified Patient

    Hi, I think one opportunity to improve would be the pre-registration and call back. The call wait times to preregister were lengthy, over 10 minutes and I couldn't stay on for the first time and so I called back and they were lengthy again, so maybe there could be a special call back number for people with scheduled appointments. Thank you.

    I waited in the waiting room for an hour and then another 25 minutes in Exam room and saw the doctor for 5 minutes. This was suppose to be my yearly physical.


  • Dec 1, 20
    Verified Patient

    Yeah, she talked about stuff from the paperwork that I was given to markdown this and markdown that but she didn't talk about any of the stuff that I talked to the whoever it was. Assistant nurse practitioner nurse whoever came in and did my blood pressure and stuff. I told her some things that I figured she would tell the doctor and then the doctor and I could discuss it not nothing like she never even talked to that lady. So yeah now there's a big room for improvement here. Okay. Bye.

    The staff was well versed in the telehealth mode of communication.


  • Oct 22, 20
    Verified Patient

    Telehealth platform is inadequate. Audio was choppy & difficult to understand. My provider had to end the remote video and call me on my cell phone.Telehealth for follow up visits or sick visits needing to be triaged are useful but for an annual physical is inadeqaute. How is my MD going to perform a complete head to toe assessment remotely? After visit summaries are useless. I expect a summary to include the situation, the assessment, the plan, and follow up instructions specific to that visit. Something more like a progress note. Instead, it is basically a medication list followed by pages of legal rhetoric. A summary should be a SUMMARY.

    Upon entering the building due to COVID I was to stand and wait for the greeter to attend to me. She was seated at the table looking off to her left, there was no one nearby, o said good morning twice before she looked at me- she was not very friendly, nor polite on asking questions. As the first person to interact with, this is not a good way to start the appointment process

    I am very happy with the care I receive from my PCP, although the waiting time on 8/18/20 was more than usual. I had to wait one hour to be seen. My appointment was at 3 PM amd I was not seen until 4. It was very uncomfortable for me to sit with my mask on for over an hour in the waiting area and then another hour to be with my PCP.


  • Aug 19, 20

    Dr. DaCunha has always acted as a professional in everyway and it is a pleasure to have her as my primary care physician.

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.
