I needed to be seen sooner but couldn't get in so I just got worse. Dr Laxer knew what was wrong and prescribed what I needed. I don't always get to see her though most times it's with the NP or nurse. I prefer seeing the Dr.

Dr. Laxer was excellent as usual. She did an excellent thing by giving me my flu shot. And she also addressed an issue I had with my ears. The nurse was fantastic. I would recommend her office to all my friends. Thank you very much. I had a lovely day. Goodbye.

I had a mid-morning appointment and upon check-in I was informed that the doctor was already an hour behind schedule. I asked if I could leave and come back but they said NO. I sat in the "observation room" for an hour staring at the walls. When the doctor did arrive, I felt that it was not one of my better appointments with the doctor. I'm very concerned with some of my symptoms and I just felt that they weren't addressed.

It seems whenever I call I am told someone will return my call and most times I have to make a second call. I'm very happy with my doctor but sometimes I don't think the staff realizes how unhelpful they can be. I do have a chronic care nurse whose name is [Name] [Name] and she is always very helpful to me.

MD was tied up with another patient so my appointment was about one hour late. I would have appreciated it someone had let me know MD was running late as I was sitting in hospital gown on exam table waiting. I could have sat in a chair, but I could not get down as step at end of table was pushed in just a little too far for me to get off the table unassisted.

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.
