  • Dr Zeller is very diligent in her medical approach. I find that she listens carefullyAnd is concerned about my issues.

  • Dr. Zeller always gives the time needed to understand patients' needs as well as adjust her answers to a level I can understand (in my case a rather educated level). I am always left with the feeling of time well spent, plan in place, and that she listened to me. Well done, indeed.As for improvements--this consult was delayed, but I was given warning by the nurse. Such delays are not the norm, however. I appreciate the heads-up and simply used the time to meditate. I never felt rushed during the consult so never got the feeling she was attempting to make up time. Rather, she possibly went without lunch :-)Good job by all.

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.
