  • Always a pleasure. Always leave there knowing what to do.

  • I was seen in a timely manner, all staff was pleasant and courteous. Kristen informed me of my recent test results, asked me how I was managing my current GI health issues, and offered to tailor my treatment plan further. My overall experience with this office has been excellent.

  • The professional who attended me was very good, but the interpreter was not attentive when speaking.

  • I was brought to the exam room on time but then waited for another 20 minutes. No apology was offered.The NP clearly hadn't reviewed my colonoscopy nor other records in mychart. She was pleasant and seemed concerned about my issues.

  • It was all good ??

  • She was very thorough

  • She was very professional and thorough.

  • I was treated very well and the nurse practitioner listened to me and the women in the office were very kind.I have no suggestions for improvements. Add this time because it was my first visit.

  • I was told to contact my PCP doctor.

  • This was the first appointment I had with nurse practitioner. I was seen in the office a few years back. They've always been very polite. Asked me if I had any concerns or questions. Everything was explained very clearly where I understood. I would definitely refer a family if it was necessary.

  • Everyone was so kind and professional and just wanted to help me with my health issues

  • I never have an issue with my South Coast care team

  • The person doing my vitals before the provider came in was very abrasive and condescending at first. At the end she was a bit nicer.I felt very rushed and brushed off. I feel like the doctor only heard some of my concerns, but not all of them. She explained some symptoms in a way I understood, and didn't even address the rest. I don't appreciate being told my symptoms are likely caused by anxiety. I have dealt with anxiety my whole life and while it may be exacerbating the symptoms I am confident they aren't the cause, and rather my eating disorder likely is. I wish she was willing to talk a bit more with me about the specifics of my symptoms instead of rushing to judgment. She did order a couple of tests though, so I dont feel completely neglected.

  • The provider listened attentively to my concerns and history to create a good plan of care moving forward to address my health issues.

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.
