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.

- November 10, 2022 Chris Cowen WASN??T the problem ! The policy of this practice & the physical therapist??s practice is the problem. Requiring me to come in, during flu season no less, to get a referral for physical therapy due to a pulled muscle while walking on an inclined treadmill at the gym is RIDICULOUS ! My insurance company does NOT require a referral. What a money grab and total lack of patient??s health with regard to flu exposure !!!! ????????????????
