About Kristen Cummings

Kristen received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth College of Nursing in Dartmouth, Ma. She then went on to earn her Masters of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner from Chamberlain University College of Nursing in Downers Grove, Illinois.

She is an active member of the Massachusetts coalition of Nurse Practitioners and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

Her belief is that each of her patient’s needs to be treated as unique individuals and in line with their personal beliefs and goals. She develops a patient’s treatment plan collaboratively with the patient and together they work towards the patient’s personal goals.

Seeing the negative impact obesity has on many areas of a patient’s health is what inspired Kristen to work in Medical Weight Management. She finds it extremely rewarding to be able to assist a patient in battling this disease and in doing so helping prevent and reverse other obesity related illnesses.

When not at work she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, cooking and staying fit.

Provider Ratings

Why aren’t there any ratings?

We do not have a rating for this provider for one of the following reasons:

  1. Provider was newly added to our survey process and has not yet received the minimum number (30) of survey returns.  Check back soon for results!
  2. If this provider’s biography page does not specify practicing at Southcoast Physicians Group or a Southcoast hospital site (Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital), he/she is affiliated with Southcoast Health Network but not employed by Southcoast Physicians Group.  Our affiliates are not included in our survey process.
  3. If this provider’s biography page specifies practicing at Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital, without reference to an outpatient practice, he/she delivers care in the inpatient hospital setting only; inpatient surveys do not include questions about individual providers.

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.
