All of the staff were courteous and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. Dr Mello was thorough and had a good game plan about our visit. I appreciate the background questions on mental health, financial and food concerns but, I wish you had a way for patients to record their health goals and their personal philosophy/motivation for good health so you can see what kind of patient we are willing to be.

Didn't try to push the covid vaccine which I appreciate because I am not interested. When you have an appointment 1st thing in the morning but don't get seen until 45+ minutes after your scheduled appointment is a problem especially when you have to get to work.

Frankly, I don't prefer telehealth visits. In this case, however, Dr. Mello was mostly reviewing bloodwork results, which don't require a physical presence.

Both the nurse or whoever I spoke to first and the doctor were very interested in what I had to say, the reason that I wanted an appointment, the message that the answerer, the nurse I guess, took to give to the doctor sounded absolutely accurate and the doctor When she spoke with me, handled everything very well, listened to my concerns and we made decisions together.

Going to the doctor makes me very anxious but I felt comfortable with each staff member I encountered. They are very nice on the phone as well. The only thing I recommend is putting up signs/arrows to get back to the check out desk after being in the exam room.

Verified Patient

Dr. Mello is the most understanding, thorough physician I have ever gone to. She takes her time with me, and I am comfortable discussing any issue.The only thing that could improve my experience is if the facility was closer to my home. When Dr. Mello was in Bridgewater her office was about ten minutes away. The office in Fall River is much further, but I do not want to go to a different doctor, so I make the drive.

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.
