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.

- March 1, 2022 Dr. Houston is not my DO at Conover Family Practice; he was gracious to see me and while I know I was given a visit he had not scheduled for that day, his composure did not reflect that while he was in the room.
