I met with the NP Joshua. He was very abrupt and didn't even look in my mouth to check my throat. He basically dismissed me. He said he wouldn't bother with repeat visits since I only had acid reflux. I was given the sense that I should just live with it. I would not see him again on any visits.

Verified Patient

Coming into the patient's room and meeting a patient for the first time one would expect the provider to introduce him/herself to the patient. that's common etiquette. He did not talk to meat at all during the encounter, except to say "good" after he looked in my ears and he walked out. Wow, I did not feel like I was treated like a human being. I wonder if he would like being treated the way he treated me. My usual ENT doctor treats me like a human being with feelings, this guy couldn't care less!!!

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.
