I sat in the waiting room for the doctor. It was kind of long. It seemed like a very long time to sit in the place for the room to see the doctor. But otherwise, I really loved my doctor, Dr. Shparber, and he's a very good doctor. He cares about you. And the ones that give me my shots for my prolia did an excellent, excellent, excellent job. They're very courteous. They're very nice. And I really appreciate them. Thank you very much. I think your hospital is a great place to be, especially when you have breast problems, breast cancer.

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.
