    Always a nice, smooth experience when I come in to see Dr McFarlane. These appointments can tend to be uncomfortable, as you can imagine; with Dr McFarlaneu00A0it's always quick and easy. There isn't really time to be uncomfortable because he just gets to work does exactly what needs to be done and we're good to go! It's much appreciatedu00A0

    The survey is way too long for people and I would cut it down next time if you want anyone's opinion. But overall, the doctor's appointment was fine. The survey needs to be cut down. Thank you.

    I got an appointment right away and then in the next couple of weeks I kept offers for other appointments sooner. When I got there I was treated with courtesy and the provider was able to see me within five minutes of my arrival. He explained everything in detail and what he didn't know. He looked into my chart at information from another provider and was able to explain everything that was in the chart. I was very pleased.

    Dr MacFarlaneu00A0is a gem! He is thoughtful and thorough, explaining what he is doing and why he is doing it. Explains past and current tests and lets you know what to expect in upcoming tests.

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.
