At Southcoast Health, we strive to deliver exceptional patient care along with an exceptional patient experience. We appreciate all of your feedback and share your comments to recognize the wonderful care our teams provide to you as well as identify areas for improvement.

  • Dr. Decio was very courteous and friendly, but more importantly well-informed and able to clearly answer questions. He aptly address my concerns about the surgery, what to anticipate during recovery and beyond, and other issues related to nutrition and exercise. He took the time to listen to our questions and concerns, and then to respond to both my wife and me in a warm and caring manner.

  • Provider was very attentive to my issues. He explained how he did the surgery & how long it would take. He showed me a video and explained even more about how the robotic surgery worked. He explained all different problems that could arise if I did or didn't do the surgery. And explained a few things about how I could improve my health with a better eating plan. Very helpful and great attitude of all staff! I will definitely recommend this surgical office.

  • I had a great experience. Skilled surgeon and supportive.

  • Outstanding doctor and office. Thank you

  • I'd like to say that Dr. Danilo and his assistants treated me really well. I received very good care at the hospital, and everything went as planned. He was very attentive and gave me all the information I requested; he also answered all of my questions and gave me several tips on how to proceed after surgery. I'm very pleased.

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.
