    Dr. Keigwin and Dr. [Name], in my opinion, are very fabulous doctors. They're right on point, very attentive and know everything about a patient that needs to be known. They treat you very well, and I'm pleased to have them and I'm so grateful to have them and yes, I always recommend them and I know it would be a big workload, but they are great. I don't trust anyone else with my care. Thank you.

    Scott has been my doctor for over 10 years. He really is concerned with the health of all his patients and makes sure that he reviews what has transpired over the past year (this was a annual physical). He is aware of my health history and is up to date on any changes or problems that happen during the course of the year. He is my "go to" doctor for advice and recommendations.

    Dr. Keigwin and staff are the best I have seen. The staff is polite,cheerful,and seem to like helping w/ questions. The Dr. is top notch. He listens and unlike many others ,does not rush you out the door. he talks with you not at you.He is the first Dr. I have had in years who touches you during exam. He listens and any test is scheduled that day. He listens to your heart,breathing and doesn't spend the visit on the computer.My old Dr would sit and hide behind computer.Dr. Keigwin during my first visit ordered tests.I had a mass growing in me for 3 years,(old Dr said I was constipated). Dr Keigwin felt abdomen,listened and I had surgery scheduled to remove the mass within 6 weeks.He is kind and smart.

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.
