Yes, I went to see Dr. Farber today. He's my cardiologist. This is the third time that I've seen him only, but he is outstanding. He answered all my questions, allayed any concerns I had and I just enjoyed him thoroughly.

Everyone in the office are really polite and courteous. And the doctor himself that I saw, I almost feel like family with him. He listens well. He sits there and cares about how you're really feeling and how you think you can improve your health matters. And he goes over the goals that we're trying to keep. And I also like the other cardiologist in his office. He's my husband's cardiologist. Gee, I was in the hospital for 45 days, and they treated me like family. Every time they walked by the room, they always said hi. They were polite and courteous, and I can't ask for any better. And I hope they continue the good work. Thank you.

I was seen immediately by Dr. Farber's nurse, and he came in shortly thereafter. So I was very pleased with my visit. He put me on new medicine, and explained what it would do for me. So, he is an outstanding cardiology doctor. And I would recommend him highly, and I am thrilled that he is my heart doctor. Thank you.

Dr. David Farber is a wonderful listener. He is a skilled man. I've been coming to him for a number of years. I have a very complex case and I think he does the best he can with a complex case like this that we're all trying to figure out. So I would recommend him. I think he's a wonderful man and I think he's a great listener and I think he does what he can with the situation to the best of his ability. I wish there was more I could do for my health to get it under control. It's just a complex. But I really do like Dr. Farber. He's a very fine man and a very just compassionate provider. Thank you very much. I was happy to do the survey for him and for your staff. Your staff is wonderful as well. Every one of you have very, very, a lot of respect for the patients coming through the door. Always. Not sometimes, always. Thank you.

I can't say enough about being a patient of Dr Farber. 6 years ago when my health began failing, he came into my room at 7pm and introduced himself, he is a caring doctor, focused on his patient, and gives you all the time you need to speak to him that you need. And carefully hears everything you say. I am deeply grateful to him for caring that much about this patient

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.
