About Alicia Hersey

Alicia Hersey, MD earned her Bachelor of Arts in Health and Human Biology from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. She then attended the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University where she obtained her Doctor of Medicine. 

Dr. Hersey completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. She chose to specialize in OBGYN services because it allows her to play an active role in patient’s care throughout their lives. Additionally, she enjoys that combination of outpatient, inpatient acute and surgical care. 

She is a member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and has written numerous peer reviewed journal articles and abstracts. Her clinical interests include family planning and vulvar skin disorders.

Dr. Hersey believes that trust and autonomy are two of the most important aspects of healthcare. She feels that all patients should be counseled, informed and able to make healthcare decisions that are best for themselves and their families. Her promise to her patients is to take care of them, counsel them, and help them in the exact same way she would want her own family member taken care of. 

She enjoys that working at Southcoast Health allows her to provide excellent multidisciplinary care to the community. When not at work, she enjoys getting outdoors with her two dogs, bike riding, trying new recipes, and playing softball.

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.
