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.

- June 28, 2022 Dr. Evans is an example of what all doctors should strive to be. He is thoughtful, he cares about his patients and he tries to provide solutions to the problems overall instead of just treating one issue. He treats the patient as a whole.
