    there is nothing to improve, this place and the people who work there are so compassionate and caring, it made the time I had to be there enjoyable.

    Everyone from the doctors to secretary was such a blessing. I was so nervous for ever treatment and they had so much patience with me.

    I feel so lucky that I got connected with Dr. Kumar. He's brilliant, well-versed in the latest research, and he listens. I felt respected as both a person and a patient. I trusted him fully to give me the right guidance and advice. The whole team was wonderful. The nurses, radiation techs, front desk staff, and everyone else were all kind and invested in my care.

    The entire staff from when I arrived, received treatments, and met with the nurses and doctors, were kind, courteous, compassionate, and professional. They explained things well so I knew what was going to happen during and after the treatments. They explained things only thing I can think of to improve on is explaining where to park prior to the first appointment. The lot at the Cancer Center says "Providers" not Providers and Patients. Explain about pressing the button on the speaker (which is hard to reach). That's it. An awesome staff there.

    Everything went well. I would recommend that they did a little more talking to the person when he was in the chamber. That's all. I didn't know time-wise how much left I had and all that. But other than that, I was very satisfied. Thank you.

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.
