Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- September 27, 2023 Dr. Brown was very informative, friendly and caring about my radiation treatment.
- September 26, 2023 When all explanations are clear, when there is time to ask all your questions, when you feel that all the team cares about not only for your physical needs, but also your emotional state, you know you are in the right hands.
- September 21, 2023 She knew what she was doing
- September 21, 2023 Highly pleased with Dr Brown
- September 20, 2023 As I have already stated, I have seen Dr. Brown twice and the only thing she has said to me was Do you have any questions. Dr. Sarah Gwen was great! Travis was very good too. I did have questions for Dr. Brown after my simulation but she never came back.
- September 18, 2023 She was wonderful

- May 30, 2023 First time i met her and i really like her she explained things and if you had a question she would answer it
- May 30, 2023 I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr Brown. Since this visit was for the radiation care I received I have a suggestion. When a patient is scheduled for radiation mapping they should be aware of ink stains on their clothing when they get dressed. Perhaps a short paper “shirt “ to be worn under everything could be provided to the patient with the explanation of what iit does for them. My complete experience at AWKBMC from my diagnosis to being cancer free could not have been better.
