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.

- September 14, 2022 She is a wonderful caring dr whom I trust very much. She is very professional and knowledgeable in her field. I was scared but she helped ease my fears and concerns.

I followed her treatment plans and just found out from her this week that after 33 radiation treatments the cancer in my hand is gone !! I will continue follow up visits of course as she recommends. I highly recommend her. In my opinion she is the best !!
- September 14, 2022 Dr. Emory went above and beyond to put me at ease, answer my questions, provide various options, and described the 'next steps' with patience and compassion.
