The entire office from check in to vs taken to exam was awesome. Everyone was so friendly and respectful. It is never fun to have to remove your clothes at an appointment. They made it so much less embarrassing. Dr Pope and his staff are the best ! I consider myself a tough critic as I am also in the healthcare field.. I would recommend this office to everyone. Thank you for making my visit great !!

I was having an issue where I was cancelled on a bunch of times since having my daughter. I've been begging my prior OBGYN office and even my family practice office to get a hormone test and I've been cancelled on or told to see my OBGYN. I was scheduled with Dr. Pope who was able to get me in even sooner and didn't question anything and heard me out. He didn't bring up my weight as a reason for my infertility and was willing to work with me. Would recommend to everyone.

If I could give Dr. Pope a 100 on a scale from 1-10 I would in a heartbeat. I have NEVER had another doctor who has been so kind and so knowledgeable in their speciality. I've seen many doctors who have ZERO bedside manner. That has not ever been the case with him. He always makes me feel heard, and makes sure that my health is well taken care of. I always tell people that I would never want to have any other OB/GYN. And I tell everyone who is unhappy with their feminine reproductive care to try and become one of his patients. I'm so thrilled that he is with south coast now!

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.
