  • Everything was fantastic

  • I was very nervous and everyone was wonderful and compassionate Nicole Arnold was fabulous and so knowledgeable

  • As always it was a positive experience

  • The screen previous to see my provider when the nurse takes my blood pressure, weight, etc is great and extremely fast, however some visits I wait more than 30 min to see my provider. I understand the staff is quite busy, but I believe this time could be improve.Other than that, great job from all staff.

  • I have been with this provider for many years with amazing care.

  • The med student I met with first was professional, knowledgeable and thorough. She explained what she thought was happening and that she would brief Dr.Arnold who may have additional information upon her examination that was to follow which she did. They worked as a team and arrived at a diagnosis with an action plan. They both answered my many questions and took their time. It was a positive experience.

  • Nicole was kind, thorough and followed through on everything she said she would follow through on. She is impressive.

  • NP Arnold was very helpful and she and the office staff did a great job of working around the bottleneck at CVS

  • Listened, showed caring ...personable (human!)shared perceptions and willing to suggest when to go back... to take one more day and weekend to get better. I was feeling guilty about being out of school all week. Made it about ME...not responsibility to job.Thanks

  • My appointment went very well. I was seen very quickly and Nicole gave me her full attention during our appointment. We discussed my health concerns and came up with a good game plan. I am very glad Nicole is my pcp. She is kind, knowledgeable and caring. The support staff were also very pleasant and helpful and the facility is very clean and well maintained.

  • From the receptionist when I checked in, who was courteous and helpful, to [Name] the med tech, who took my vitals and did all the prep work, and especially Nicole Arnold, who listened very astutely and strategized with me in my pre-op needs for major surgery. This office is top notch, period. Nicole Arnold is a credit to the South Coast Health Facility and is a great service provider. She listens, she asks astute questions, and I feel cared for. She is great. I'm done.

  • Provider listened carefully to my questions and answered thoroughly. The screen froze a few times but that's not the provider's fault- that's a technology issue.

  • I just want to correct the second question. My finger slipped and I hit the keyboard in error, so I gave the wrong response. But however, comments on Nicole Arnold and the rest of the staff, everyone was always very professional. She's very attentive. She listens to what's going on and she recommends things that she feels might offer improvement for me. I'm a professional.

  • She was efficient, caring, kind and really helped with my health issue today.

  • I was satisfied with all

  • Nicole and her staff are very knowledgeable and caring. I didn't like having to go thru the nurses to get an appointment. They were very nice and helpful, but I know when I need to see the doctor. I don't abuse my visits and only go when absolutely necessary which thankfully isn't very often. I explained all my symptoms (possible blood clot in my leg) and then had to repeat the process when I got to the office. Seems that if you're a regular patient and the staff knows you only call when needed you should not have to go thru this process.

If more facilities, Doctors offices and hospitals had the staff that Southcoast medi-center has I feel as though less people will be afraid to get seen for medical treatment. Please ensure that Nicole, [Name] [Name] and [Name] [Name] are recognized. To many good workers are overlooked at large companies. I highly recommend Southcoast medi-center to anyone looking for a new doctors office.

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.
