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.

- January 10, 2023 Anyone can treat an illness or an injury, but not everyone understands the importance of caring for an individual. Everyone with whom I made contact throughout my visit showed true compassion, made eye contact when listening to and speaking with me. In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care”. As a healthcare provider myself, working for 5 of the states largest healthcare systems including WFBH and CMC in my 32+ year career, I cannot begin to express my admiration, gratitude and appreciation for the care I have received from WFBH and Atrium Health since returning to the area 2 years ago. The organization has continually exceeded my expectations and the experience thus far with the Team at Digestive Health, is no exception. Thank you!
