I often feel that the support staff that takes wt, vitals etc is in a very big hurry and thus it feels impersonal and makes one feel like a number. I'm sure it's because they are very busy but it really stands out. Every other staff, all other areas are outstanding. Checking in, checking out, calling for an appointment and drs-all top notch! Ty!

My doctor has been with me for many years. She knows me. She knows my case thoroughly. She knows what I've been through. She is a wonderful doctor. I would never even consider ever changing a doctor for pulmonary care. I rely on her so heavily. She is really great. Like I said, she knows my case. She's very, very intelligent, up to date, and very responsive to my needs. I really, really admire having a doctor like her. I wish more would be like her. Very personable and warm to speak with, and knows my case. I think that's so important, to have that patient-doctor connection. Anyway, I like her as a doctor.

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.
