Hi, I waited a long time to get in to see Dr. Finney, but it was well worth the wait. I had lost my previous provider, Dr. [Name] so I was out of sorts for a few months. But Dr. Finney did, before I even saw him, provide answers to questions that I had during previous months. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit with him. I have health anxiety, but he made me feel perfectly at ease. He listened to everything I said. He asked me questions. If I had any questions, he listened attentively. I thoroughly enjoy him, and I hope I have him for the rest of my life.

Verified Patient

Everyone is professional and courteous and always makes me feel like I'm being heard. After taking the survey, I realized that maybe we could have gone over some goals a little more thoroughly. The goals were talked about in broad strokes rather than specifics. So they weren't smart goals, they were just a more general goal.

Dr. Finney and the entire Southcoast organization is the benchmark against which all other providers are compared. Because of insurance policies, my spouse cannot use Southcoast for her medical needs. However, she is amazed every time at the level of professionalism and genuine concern shown by your staff. We sing Southcoast's praises whenever the subject arises.

As a new patient, I was impressed with the entire experience. Each staff I spoke with was friendly and welcoming. The facility itself is clean and welcoming! The wait time to see Dr. Finney was less than 5 minutes, and I found him to be knowledgeable, informative and thorough. He did not rush through this initial appointment, and gave me ample time to discuss my concerns as well as an opportunity to ask him questions. I also appreciated the fact that when I called later that afternoon to reschedule upcoming lab work--twice, I was able to do that within minutes, no hassles!

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.
