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.
Patient Comments
- January 7, 2023 Because I was not her patient she just wanted me to wait to see my doctor.
- January 6, 2023 Knowledgeable, caring, thorough. A delight on a day that I was not feeling my best.
- January 5, 2023 She was very friendly, and professional and kept me calm and at ease about my situation.
- January 5, 2023 Caroline has shown concern and a desire to help me at each visit.
- January 1, 2023 I was very satisfied and would highly recommend Ms. MacKeller and the pratice!
- January 1, 2023 Otherwise been a patient for years that was my first time seeing that care provider and I had a very good experience
- January 1, 2023 I had a great office visit with Caroline MacKellar. The checkin and appointment staff were not very friendly. I could barely understand the man who made the appointment with me originally. He was rude when I asked him to repeat himself because he was so quiet, or spell the doctor's name, or confirm the address. This is why I rated the visit 8 overall. MacKellar get's a 10 from me.
- December 29, 2022 Very caring Physician listend to all my questions and provided good treatment plan.
- December 28, 2022 Great P.A. sorry to see her go
- December 24, 2022 Caroline was though and helpful discussing my condition after having COVID-19 recently!
- December 20, 2022 I liked Caroline, but she was rushed. She explained that they had a case that had come in that threw them off schedule, and I can understand that. But how is my case any less worthy of her time? On a positive note, Caroline seemed very professional and knowledgeable. I liked her bed side manner. I would have liked to not feel so rushed though, after an hour's wait from the scheduled appointment time.
- December 13, 2022 Excellent, thorough and knowledgeable. Very helpful and caring.
- December 13, 2022 Thanks for all that you do! It??s much appreciated.
- December 10, 2022 I was taken in my room greeted by someone who called me. I told her how much I weigh that morning and she started waving her hands and loud voice. I just tell r=them you refused. I didn??t refuse I was just Eli t her what I weight that morning but she just kept on saying I refused. When told to pull of coat was not nice she had not given me time in the room to get sitter for my vitals. She said I??ve have to remove my sweater to take my blood pressure I pulled up my sleeve. She said my sweater was bulky and she would take it with that kind of sweater. Then ask me what I was there for. I told her return check up UTI following a hospital visit. Told me I wold need a test??? I started to tell I had and she smartly said, I have it in my hand. I don??t know how they let the provider know when there finished but I check my chart while I waited on the doctor and she had me checked in and out before the doctor came in. It??s was as bout 30 or minutes before the doctor came in, she was very nice but when I left she gave me a number to call for a urologist and got a referral. I find this strange. If I need to go to a urologist I would think that they could get you in before me call with no referral. I have not been treated right and expressed that to administration.
