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
- July 12, 2023 I was attending another cancer center immediately upon my first sit down with WF everything changed for the better. There attitude is not one of doom and gloom. They immediately had a plan with serval options for getting ahead of my cancer. The treatments began to work shortly after beginning and currently my cancer is stable with excellent numbers
- June 15, 2023 Dr. Ellis & Dr. Welsh are both as good as it gets.
- November 7, 2022 Dr. Ellis shows great care and concern for her patients. She explains everything and always answers all of my questions.
- October 16, 2022 Very professional & personable. Takes a personal interest in her patients
- October 16, 2022 Dr. Ellis was wonderful. She explained my tests and spent a long time reviewing my condition. She was always glad to have me contact her.
- October 2, 2022 I have been a patient of Dr. Ellis since 2012. I truly respect her caring attitude and honesty. I know my health is in the best of hands with Dr. Ellis!
