About John Shapiro

Dr. John Shapiro, MD, MPH completed a combined Doctorate of Medicine and Masters in Public Health program at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University. He went on to receive training in Internal medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

    Be on time for appointments and spend time getting to know your patients. I feel like I am usually seen late and rushed thru my appointment. That's why I hesitate to even go to the provider. My old provider who retired always spent time to listen and get to know me as a patient.

    Everything Dr. Shapiro did was perfect. He came in, examined me, asked questions, answered my questions. Everything went perfect. It couldn't have gone any better. So he was great.

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.
