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 22, 2023 Although I find myself quite satisfied with the healthcare providers themselves the organization above them I find very unsatisfactory and intend to change providers in the spring of next year when I join Medicare. What was once a very complicated machine has become much worse in my opinion
- June 15, 2023 Had to come in very early because of the parking situation but I'm sure that will get better. Appointment was at 8:00 and was called in at 8:16.
