This office is the best and I am so thankful for Nicole. She is always compassionate, makes me feel like my concerns are heard, and takes what I say seriously. The check in and check out staff are also awesome, always quick to help as thoroughly as needed. The assistants are efficient and I don't think I've ever sat in the waiting room more than 5 minutes. Lastly the phlebotomy team is awesome, quick, gentle, and caring. These guys are great.

The screen previous to see my provider when the nurse takes my blood pressure, weight, etc is great and extremely fast, however some visits I wait more than 30 min to see my provider.

From the receptionist when I checked in, who was courteous and helpful, to [Name] the med tech, who took my vitals and did all the prep work, and especially Nicole Arnold, who listened very astutely and strategized with me in my pre-op needs for major surgery.

Provider listened carefully to my questions and answered thoroughly. The screen froze a few times but that's not the provider's fault- that's a technology issue.

I just want to correct the second question. My finger slipped and I hit the keyboard in error, so I gave the wrong response. But however, comments on Nicole Arnold and the rest of the staff, everyone was always very professional. She's very attentive. She listens to what's going on and she recommends things that she feels might offer improvement for me. I'm a professional.

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.
