Leah was extremely thorough during my appointment. She was very knowledgeable. She was very compassionate. She did some research while I was there to give me some additional information I need for another condition that I have. She made recommendations. She was, like I said, very cordial and very caring. And that's the first time I've had the pleasure of having her as my provider. And I would highly recommend her in the practice. Thank you.

Leah Murphy NP was the provider I saw today for a follow up after being diagnosed with pneumonia at an urgent care the week prior. She was incredibly thorough, kind, and I felt heard. This was my first time meeting her and seeing her for a sick visit, and I left feeling validated and cared for. She's an asset to Southcoast Health, no doubt.

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.
