Verified Patient

The Dr. did not seem interested nor concerned about my injury. He did not make eye contact and I felt like I was bothering him. I am a health care worker who works directly with this particular group so I expected a bit of professional courtesy . I did not get a welcoming feeling at all. This was clearly a disinterested provider. It was a late in the day add on appointment. He was perhaps overwhelmed with his day. While he provided valid sound judgment I just felt like it was a limited interaction. All the support staff on this visit were exemplary.

Dr. Baltz had my hand x-ray lit up for me to see, explained and referred me to a surgeon closer to me than his would be!! Explained why he believes that because of the way he moved my knees, his opinion is straight arthritis, not soft tissue.

I was seen. The Doctor looked at X-rays, asked me questions, and said that I didn't have broken or cracked bones or a tear. So as I had hoped, I am going to PT, and hope with time my problem will resolve it self.

Verified Patient

Dr. Baltz was professional and to the point. He wasn't overly friendly, but he wasn't rude either. He immediately went through his diagnosis upon entering, without asking me any questions or having a discussion regarding my symptoms or what lead me to this visit. I do understand that the MA asked about my symptoms and history prior to him entering, so he did already have that information. The staff were also professional and to the point without being particularly friendly. However they didn't do anything wrong and weren't rude. Overall, professional and got the job done, without a warm "customer service" approach.

Hello, I've seen Dr. Matthew Baltz for the first time and I felt that he gave me a very good evaluation and exam and I would recommend him. And he did give me options to therapy or, you know, surgery. And like I said, I felt that he did give me a good exam and thank you. Bye.

I was in an operatory room for 45 minutes. No communication to let me know why I was waiting SO LONG!! There needs to be communication to a patient if something is holding up a visit.

To start. I signed in and had to use the bathroom. Before I even washed my hands the nurse was calling my name. I have a major fear of needles. I knew going in I was probably going to need one. I was literally crying when the Dr came in. He was very understanding about my fear. He spoke to me both very professionally and understanding. I told him I would get the shot. He numbed the area up for me. And he was 100% correct when he told me I would be over the fear. I am a 54 year old who was crying like a baby and he didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I will tell everyone I know to go here

The doctor was rude and did not answer my questions. I felt as though the doctor was arrogant and if it weren't for the amazing support staff, I would be looking for another specialist.
Jul 31, 23
Verified Patient

I was able to get in to see him in a couple of weeks. To me, that is not a long wait. I have waited months to get in w other specialists at other hospital groups. He looked through some previous notes that he could see quickly before the visit. I appreciate that. He explained the complexities of making a differential diagnosis, what is making the pain occur. I appreciated his observations. It is a lot of information to relay to someone in the short time insurance covers. That is not the providers fault. I need other testing w another provider to find more out. So, we move forward. Sometimes explaining something in a couple ways is helpful for the patient to digest the full picture

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.
