Verified Patient

My experience, this is my third probably go-round, and Dr. Kim has been consistent with showing me things that the surgeon never told me about or warned me about. It was a done deal with as far as she was concerned. I didn't even need to see an oncologist. So I thank Dr. Kim for wanting to always answer any of my questions and even volunteering a little more information for any upcoming questions I may have and don't know I have at the time. So thank you for that, Dr. Kim.

I just want to say Dr. Kim is amazing. I've had her for years and unfortunately I have graduated where I've gone long enough being cancer-free that I don't have to see her anymore and I'm going to miss her. But she was my favorite doctor ever and I just I can't say enough about her. She's amazing, caring, understanding, explains things. She is just fabulous.

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.
