Dr. LaRock is the friendliest and most caring doctor I have ever met. I wish all doctors were just like him. His staff is also fantastic.
Always took care of me in any situation Needed an appointment or needed to chat always supported
On time, friendly, professional
Dr. Larock gave me his complete attention and understanding. He made me feel heard, cared for and understood.
I can't imagine how you could have improved my experience with Dr. LaRock. Time and time and time again, he's on top of my situation. He's questioning my use of the medications that I'm using and he's doing a physical exam that checks my prostate, which is the most important thing I worry about. Like most of my experiences with South Coast, I'm extremely happy that Customers would recommend South Coast in a heartbeat. But Dr. LaRock stands out among all of them. He and [Name] [Name] stand out among all of them and their office staff stand out as well. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Everyone was great, in regards to the secretary at the check in window, the nurse who talked to me in the examining room before my doctor came in the room, the doctor himself, and the secretary at the check out area!!!
The doctor was kind, attentive. He took his time with me. He was thorough.

I am very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Larock. He is a true asset to Southcoast Health.
Dr. LaRock explained everything clearly and answered all my questions.
I have no problem with the provider and the people that I associated and worked with. I have a problem with the capacity of the organization. It took way too long in order for me to get my testing done, into providers, surgery scheduled, all those things that really need to be better handled and fixed.
Only met with the providers twice everything seems fine.
South coast mostly is satisfactory. Dr. LaRock is thorough.
Routine interview. No problems.
