    Today's procedure was the CT setup of the Radiation Therapy I will be receiving. Both techs involved in this session were very professional, yet personable, putting me at ease. Dr. Gagnon also participated, professionally guiding this detailed procedure. He, as well, was personable and obviously knowledgeable. I humbly give high praise to all.

    Staff was amazingly welcoming... from valet to checkout. I was comforted to see several RNs on staff... informed, willing to answer multiple questions re procedure. Video was helpful, also addressing concerns.... prepared me to speak with Doctor Gagnon. Dr was kind, empathetic, easy to talk to, answered all my questions clearly; also helped me compare the two procedures I am considering. Thank you all.[Name] [Name]

    My opinion is that when they schedule you for a time, they should respect it because I had this appointment at 3:15 and they always attended to m three thirty, forty five minutes after, so they should see what they can do to see appointments at their scheduled times. They were very very attentive and the staff was very good. They treated me very well.

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.
