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.

- May 10, 2023 He is very caring about his patients.
- May 5, 2023 the only thing that bothered me was the 2 women in the waiting room who were talking very loudly about their politics. They were talking about covid being a hoax and a family member who developed a serious health issue 3 months after he got the 1st vaccine. They talked about it being a way to cull out people and we were all a huge science experiment. They were also tlaking about Fox news and their issues and other political issues. I tried to ignore them and did not say a word but I was offended/ by them. It all started because one of the proclaimed loudly that they loved the sign on the door about masks optional. I was releived after the 5 or so minutes I waited that the nurse came and got me so I no longer had to hear them
- April 28, 2023 I echo previous comments. Jeff Krings is a superior care-giver. He is an excellent listener and demonstrates true compassion when caring for patients. As an academic, I'm super impressed at how he combines research with this high-level of practice.
- April 22, 2023 Very knowledgeable and friendly.
- April 15, 2023 I could never say enough positive things about Jeffery Kring and his ability to help me. He is caring, kind, compassionate, he listens to understand (and not respond) and is unbelievably professional! He could certainly teach classes about professionalism and taking care of his patients with exemplary service. He is, by far, a cut above the majority of medical professionals. I will never leave being under the care of Jeffery Kring, FNP!
- April 14, 2023 Repeat: he listened to me & did not interrupt. Did what was necessary to calm me.
- March 29, 2023 My visit went great with Dr. Krings understanding very professional explained everything in detail.
- March 29, 2023 Jeff Krings is the most capable NP throughout Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. He sets you at ease and draws out your cares and concerns. Then he proceeds with the exam to determine test, changes that need to be made to medications. Jeff is constantly aware that I believe his personal goal is to improve your quality of life, which is real concern (not just pills and tests).
- March 28, 2023 Your the best and I really really thank you for everything you do
- February 25, 2023 I find JEFFREY KRIGS to be one of the best caregivers that I have ever dealt with. He is so pleasant and explains everything fully to the patient and cares about listening to your opinion. I could not be more pleased with the care that I have RECEIVED from JEFF and the Pulmonary Critical Care Department. I feel that the care I have received here has been responsible for the improvement of my asthma.
- February 22, 2023 He's a person I can relate to. His guidance has helped me manage my asthma.
- February 20, 2023 He always greets me and asks me how I am doing. He truly listens and provides usable advice.

- January 22, 2023 Extremely caring and knowledgeable Dr .
- January 21, 2023 Jeff Krings is very patient-oriented. He is friendly, compassionate, patient, and caring. I’ve known him for more than 10 years and I am delighted that he is now an FNP. He does listen to patients and suggests rather than ordering things that would be helpful to us. He is great!
- January 14, 2023 Dr. Krings was excellent and my visit to him was very helpful and informative. I'm very optimistic about some of his suggestions and appreciate his help and Atrium Health's great service.
- December 18, 2022 Good
- December 15, 2022 Took time to make a personal connection. Important to know a little something about you patient and I feel he did this as well as shared some information about himself.
- December 7, 2022 Jeff was great and very knowledgeable. My only concern with the visit wasn??t the staff but was disappointed with entrance not being wheelchair friendly. It almost impossible to get the door open if you??re in a wheelchair.
- November 9, 2022 I appreciated that Jeffrey didn't rush through the visit and actually treated me like a human being. Somewhere along the way, most clinics have taken the care out of health care. I'm heartened to see that this clinic has not followed suit.
