    I just want to say that Dr. Warren Wood has been my and my husband's doctor for more than 30 years. He's retiring in September and we will miss him greatly. He is the best doctor that we have ever had and we're just going to miss him. We wish him well on his well deserved retirement. Thank you.

    The program that you have for the medical staff to use is not very efficient. They have to look through several screens to get results that should be always updated and have all the patient's info on the very first click. Time is taken away from the patient talking to the doctor because he has to look up so much info. Time management and organization are the key to success. Fifteen minutes is not enough time for a doctors visit. I always feel rushed and unable to speak to the doctor about all my medical issues.

    My last visit, per Covid protocol I called from the car to be brought in. No one told me for this visit I could go right to the waiting room, and I was in the car for 15 minutes waiting for someone to answer the phone, only to be told to come right in.

    Warren Wood has been my primary care physician since the 1980's, and his projected retirement, while not quite a surprise, is a consternation. Back to the visit, all went well, and I am confident about the next steps for my health.

    Was told my phone was not in service after I called to see why the appointment hadn't taken place. I got a new phone and a new number in Dec2020. Called all my providers at that time to give the new number. Slightly annoyed because my appointment was to take place yesterday but was delayed. Was rectified and no longer a problem.

    Verified Patient

    I have been part of Dr. Wood's office for probably 30 years and everybody's been great. During this pandemic I know they're not a lots of people in the office, and when you talk to the phone bank, you know, I think it's kind of difficult for those people to transfer what you really want to say to the office and I just don't think there enough people working there and I know it's to be safe and I understand that but I it's not just me lots of people that I know who who go to Dr. Wood's not Dr. Wood's patient necessary, but that at our office feel the same way that this something lacking and people don't get back to you and then prescriptions are kinda messed up and and I'm sorry to say that because everything has always been great and Dr. Wood's office, but right now through the pandemic other offices that I go to to*

    Dr. Wood listened! I know that seems simple & unremarkable but it's not often that providers take time to listen to what I'm saying. He was kind, knowledgeable & understanding. I'm hoping we get to the bottom of my weakness but even if we don't it means so much to know my doctor truly cares about my health & wellbeing on a personal level. It's old fashion style medicine that makes a difference. Thank you.

    Hi, the experience was exceptional. Front desk staff even during the covid crisis were very attentive. The medical assistant was excellent and pleasant. Treated me very kindly, gave me my vaccinations and Dr. Wood is outstanding. I highly recommend him to anyone and I did have the opportunity to talk to [Name] on my way out. Understanding she's retiring, that would be a loss to the practice but exceptional, exceptional work by all involved and again, I've been going there for many years and it was a great experience.

    Being escorted right to the exam room and not having to wait in the waiting room was very much appreciated. Especially in these covid days where I worry about infection.

    The instructions and guidance through the--mostly--unfamiliar visit were clear, the staff excellent, the physician--as always--just right with his concern for my health. We all forgot my co-pay, however, probably because there was no contact with office staff. I have mailed it to the office.

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.
