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.

Not only was she knowledgeable about EDS, but she understood that eliminating even one source of pain makes such a difference in my life. She very thoroughly examined my knee, then explained what the problem is, referencing my X-rays and MRI. She seemed committed to helping me understand and possibly resolve my pain.
