All was wonderful! Dr Soares is very thorough & attentive. She listened & addressed all concerns. Will recommend to anyone seeking a caring & professional Gyn. Very happy I made the 35 mile trip to Wareham. Long wait to get a new patient appointment, but worth it. Please clarify online that she only sees patients in Wareham office. Scheduler did not state that when i called New Bedford for my appointment. My referring physician thought she was in Fall River??

I like Dr. Soares communication style and how knowledgeable she is. I'm glad she is now my gynecologist. I wasn't taken back until 15 minutes after my appointment time and waited in the exam room. Dr. Soares apologized for keeping me waiting which I appreciated. It would have been nice if check in had let me know she was running behind.

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.
