He tries to find alternate ways to figure out my health problems, such as seeing specialists. I really appreciate everything he's done for me.

  • Dr. Salter (my PCP) is hands down the best doctor I have ever had. One of his best assets is his ability to listen to my concerns and to respond accordingly. This came into play back in 2017 where I credit Dr. Salter with saving my life, due to the fact he listened to something that I had thought was of minimal concern. It turned out to be strongly concerning and detrimental to my health. As a result, I was able to have a life saving procedure.

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.
