    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.

    I truly like and trust my doctor. She acts like she cares and is easy to talk to. She keeps me informed and explains things I don't understand.

    For video/phone health checkups have a medical identification, so your phone wouldn’t think it was spam.

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.
