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 19, 2023 Dr. Pilson came in and shared with me what she already knew about my case from speaking with her student who interviewed me and her review of the info given to her by the nurse who took my vitals. Then she listened attentively while recording our conversation. Patiently, she answered concerns that I had from what I was told from a previous provider and gave me her take on my situation. I had a couple of other questions regarding a bone stimulator and bone density test that she responded to via mywakehealth.org. I am a business person with a keen sense of culture and process. My experience with her and the entire office was one that I really appreciated.
