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
- June 26, 2022 Dr. Burden listened carefully to my health background which included a number of health and prior treatment and procedures that made the eye care I needed more complicated. She listened carefully and explained what she would do to prevent complications, and also explained the importance of what I needed to do while my eyes healed post surgery to avoid infections or complications. During my first post op visit she also caught that my eye pressure was elevated and prescribed eye drops to prevent any complications. I highly recommend her.
