I needed a same day appointment and was grateful to be seen that day. The system seems to have improved this year after a few horrible years of waiting up to a week to get a callback for an appointment when sick and needing to be seen. Also very grateful for that. Kathy B. was very kind and helpful.

Kathy is a great provider. She's knowledgeable, she's caring, she's everything you'd want your doctor to be. I can't rave enough about her. She's always in-depth, she knows you, she remembers you, she knows your history, very well informed, very educational, very down to earth. She's probably the best provider in that whole place.

Waited for over an hour for the appt. No one came in to explain the delay. I understand there are delays but would be nice for someone to come in and explain. Otherwise the rest was OK.

I was happy with my follow up appointment; I usually see [Name], but K.B. was very helpful in me understanding my meds, the effects, options and a plan to support my current issue. We talked through several options and she was very informative, and I appreciated her talking through my meds and history before giving me advice or making next steps. I love that she involved me in my care plan, and didn't just talk at me, but asked questions and let me be apart of the plan. Thank you again KB I appreciate your patience and guidance!

Kathy always makes you feel like you matter. When she walks into the exam room, she has a way to put you at ease, you always feel like she must of had this problem too. You never feel judged and you absolutely never feel like she doesn't listen. You can't fake empathy and that you are a caring person. She just has a way about her. I don't think I've ever had a visit with her where she didn't ask me "how is your husband." Kathy truly cares about her patients. Kathy Benevides is the biggest asset this practice has. I am so glad i switched to her years ago. If she ever left this practice so would every one of her patients, we would follow her anywhere.

Katherine Benevides is a fantastic asset to SOUTHCOAST. She is extremely skilled and communicative. I sought an appointment on a Tuesday, never received a call back, which I was told I would. I called again on Wednesday as I had gotten worse. Soonest they could see me was Thursday…I wondered why limited availability and no call back on that Tuesday. Again, Ms Benevides was terrific as were the associates.

I have been extremely happy with my nurse practitioner and my PCP WHEN I can get an appointment.

Wait times have also been an issue recently, but the care and attention providers provide remain excellent

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.
