    She listened to my concerns and addressed any questions I had. She was able to book an ultrasound to measure the baby at an already scheduled appt. She was very thorough and explained things in a way that I could understand.

    From the moment I got to the office, I was treated kindly and with respect and everybody was courteous. The person who took my blood pressure and saw me to the room couldn't have been any nicer, kind and understanding as I was there for an issue. And then when I met with the doctor, she exceeded my expectations on how thorough she was, how kind, considerate and how educational she was. And I absolutely thought it was a fantastic visit, especially given that I was there because I had some concerns for myself. So I appreciated that so very much. They were kind and patient and explained things. It was wonderful. So I will definitely be recommending the office.

    I couldn't get an appointment with [Name] [Name] who I saw last pregnancy, but there was an appointment available the next day with Dr. Pringle. She actually exceeded my expectations and was really wonderful! I would absolutely see her again.

    Provider kathleen was great. The nurse however, I didn't feel comfortable that she didn't greet me or my husband but had the audacity to walk us into the room and call me "honey" which felt demeaning and unprofessional as if I'm a child. Overall, the dr. Was great. The nurse who walked me into the room from waiting room could use training.

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.
