As usual, everyone was professional and respectful. I had to cancel an earlier appointment with Dr. Zeller, but Leah, the NP was able to see me. the NP that I saw was amazing & similar to the treatment I usually receive from Dr. K. Zeller (who has always taken great care of me)). NP was attentive and knowledgeable. Also very patient with me given this muscle condition that I am working with.

Ms. Murphy was spectacular! Coming from the position of being a physician for almost 50 years, I felt that Ms. Murphy's assessment was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, responsive and thorough. She listened, did not rush and was genuinely concerned. She had reviewed my records before seeing me. In this day and age, Ms. Murphy's approach far surpassed many internist's approaches over the years. As a physician who makes many referrals a year, I would refer patients to her very quickly. I am very impressed with Ms. Murphy and all of my new health care people, having just moved here from NY. Thank you, SouthCoast, for having the wisdom in choosing wonderful people to provide wonderful care for your patients!

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.
