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 6, 2023 Dr. Kalish is simply put one of the best! He has always been available for an appointment and listens to his patients. He cares, and takes the time with you that you need.
- June 5, 2023 Dr. Kalish has been my primary care doctor for over 20 years and we have a good doctor/patient rapport. I’m always impressed by the breadth of his knowledge and how he helps me focus and understand what is going on with my body, then devises a treatment plan, if needed. My most recent visit involved a potentially scary health condition, but Dr. Kalish handled the visit perfectly. After his physical examination he provided complete information and helped me understand the situation, also calming me down while not diminishing the importance of dealing with the condition right away. Thanks to his immediate referral I now have an appointment in a couple of weeks with the necessary specialist.
