  • Nothing. I was not only attended to throughout the appointment. I was put on a cancellation list for a first available in office procedure AND called the following am to schedule an EEG for September 12,2024 because of need for comparison of an abnormal eeg 1/23/24. Anna Somerto is thorough and efficient.

  • She explained everything really good for me to understand. I would recommend her to Family was very nice Pleasant to talk to thank you

  • Experience wase very good

  • Dr.Somerto was very polite and helpful to me. She understood what I was saying. The office staff were all courteous and helpful.

  • Check in was prompt and courteous .Fill out questionnaire before meeting with doctor.

  • Dr Somerto is absolutely amazing. For the first time since I was 11 I can make plans and not worry about migraines interrupting my life. I went from over 16 a month to an average of 3 to 4. This office always treats patients like they are most important and the doctor is always either on-time or early. Best doctor and staff, totally amazing!

  • When you get to, when you need a refill, sometimes it takes a while for it to be completed. You never know how much time you need to notify them to get a refill. So that's the only issue I have is when I need a refill, I always have a problem. Thank you kindly. You have a wonderful day.

  • Very good diagnostic physician ……..

  • From checking in to the nurse to the provider to the checkout. It was so lovely everyone was super nice. Couldn't have ask for a better appointment

  • Dr. Somerto is a knowledgeable and caring physician. She takes the time to listen to you and treats you with respect. She is one of the few physicians I have worked with that has actually treated me as a whole person rather than just the "body part" that is their specialty. The office staff is friendly, accommodating as possible and easy to work with.

  • Been seeing her fir yrs now. She has always been on point. Good relationship with the Dr.

  • The dr. Was waiting for us. She was thorough, listened to me, and made me feel comfortable.

  • Dr knows what muscles do what and corrects them when she sees a problem. (after she gets your permission of course!)

  • I was see in a very timely manner. The office staff was courteous,professional and upbeat. Dr. Somerto went out of her way to help me. She is the best!!!!

  • Anna Somerto worked with me to get to the bottom of some disturbing word-finding episodes I had been experiencing. She listened with great attention and determination to rule out some serious potential diagnostic possibilities.

  • Dr. Somerto treats you as a person not as just an appointment. She remembers from past visits, explains things to you, goes over things with you. Before changing your medication, Dr. Somerto asks what I think. I never feel rushed. I appreciate all the time she takes with me.

  • The care was excellent and I have no complaints.As a side note, I was so happy that the TV in the waiting room was turned off. It was such a pleasure for those of us waiting that we could scroll through our phones or quietly sit with our thoughts! (I hope that is an actual policy change?!)

  • Excellent care. Dr. Somerto is an excellent diagnostician. She quickly and expertly arrived at an understanding of my problem and then provided the appropriate treatment advice. Southcoast is lucky to have her.

  • Pt was being seen for cognitive issues - family (Healthcare Proxy and POA) would have liked the opportunity to explain specifics to provider alone… to give a clear picture of changes).

  • I was very comfortable with Dr. Sermurdo and I liked how she believed when I told her my symptoms and other doctors tried to tell me I had something else and she told me I was spot on. So I like her very much and she was very good to my mom.

  • Doctor and staff very attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable. Great experience.

  • Love Dr. Somerto. Have gone to her for years for various medical reasons related to neurology

  • Yeah, the appointment was on time and I was answered all the questions that I had and I felt very good about it. Thank you.

  • Self checkin seems to be causing some patients a problem meaning staff needs to come out to help them. Also, I've been in 3x in the last month or so and the crowds seem to be growing. No slowdowns yet as Rosebrook staff always comes through no matter what. Good people at every level.

  • Very good appointment. Listened and addressed concerns

  • They listened and explained what I could go through and take things as we go

  • Dr. Somerto and her Medial Assistant are outstanding. Other SC staff including those who call multiple times to confirm appointments that have been confirmed via text AND my chart, office staff who read my chart messages, etc are not

  • Very courteous staff I had a pleasant experience

  • Dr. Somerto was caring, thoughtful, and thorough in her exam. I felt she really listened as I described my symptoms and pain and she immediately offered next steps.

  • The doctor was the first one to acknowledge there was definitely something neurologically wrong with me, which validated my gut feelings.

  • Very quick and seamless entry to appointment. The provider and her nurse were very professional and caring. I was grateful to have gotten my appointment sooner than planned. Overall great experience.

  • I wish the provider spent more time with me and explained more about my condition. Thank you very much. Bye now.

  • Can't think of a single thing. Everyone is extremely WONDERFUL!!

  • Dr Somerto, and her medical assistant [Name] are always amazing! They know me so well, and always make me feel cared for. I love seeing them both at my appointment!!

  • You gave me a lot of hope, knowing that it is possible to get my life back.

  • perfect appointment with Dr Samerto

  • She brought me to tears assuring me she could help me.

  • Great doctor. Attentive, informed and informative.

  • Very reassuring and took the time to explain and listened to my concerns etc

  • Scheduling staff were very empathetic about a scheduling glitch that happened, and were quick to rectify, and get back to me for an alternative. Dr. Somerto is very efficient and knew everything about my history. I love her bedside manner and I think that telehealth is a great alternative. It saves time, and, yeah time. Anyway, thank you very much. Bye.

  • Visit was prompt and there was no waiting. Doctor appeared knowledgeable and thorough. Visit seemed to end a bit abruptly and path ahead didn't seem particularly clear.

  • So blessed to have found this doctor. Finally getting the help with my migraines and other related issues. She truly cares.

  • Dr. Anna Somerto is the best doctor I've ever had. She cares about me and she's as authentic as a doctor can be. She's amazing and there should be more doctors like her or learn how to be more like her. Appointments are very satisfying.

  • The doctor is good and is attentive

  • Was seen on time - all the staff that I dealt with were friendly and professional.Was very satisfied with my visit.

  • I am very satisfied with the treatment I get . Every thing is explained in a way I can understand.

  • MD asked pointed questions as to my symptoms. Listened and reviewed notes from other practitioners and lab work. Discussed pain and made recommendations for pain management physician and referred me to one.

  • Anna Was always attentive when I was speaking and and she asked questions that made sense to.me. She Asked about my knee surgery and how it was going.. it's things like that that make me want to come back and see Anna for these types of problems that I'm having. Thank you very much.

  • She is smart and direct

  • Dr. Somerto and staff are more than I could wish for. I leave the office with full knowledge of the reason I'm there.

  • I prefer in person Doctor visits but this was a reasonable substitute given my present Migraine situation is pretty good. I had difficulty understanding Dr. Somerto's accent at times but we managed well! She was very thorough and I am happy to be under her care.

  • Everyone was friendly and informative

  • This office, the staff and the provider has the best overall attitude, positive attitude and is usually on-time and gets you in and out quickly. They are pleasant and courteous and I have never been treated so well as I have at this office. I can't say enough positive things about the Wareham Southcoast office, other offices should pay attention to how the staff, even the staff that checks you in, handles patients!

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.
