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.

- December 20, 2022 Todo muy bien, solo que tuve una consulta en marzo y la otra considero que fue muy distante (en diciembre)
- December 11, 2022 This was a diagnostic visit so a care plan was not discussed. Ms. Prueter did take time to discuss the procedure for determining care.
- December 10, 2022 Very good experience. She explained everything and was very kind.
- December 7, 2022 Karen is great. Awesome bed side manner. Really listens to me. Cares about my health and overall well being.
- November 26, 2022 Karen Prueter listened to my concerns, tested me for potential issues, clearly explained the prognosis and offered her help for further problems if they should arise.
- November 23, 2022 This was the worst experience ever. Dr. Prueter asked questions that had already been addressed and was very robotic in her process. When I inquired as to why she was asking questions that I already answered on their required forms she said it was quicker than reviewing the forms THEY required. From the start of the appt I advised I was not interested in surgery and she still wasted an out of her time and mine by concluding that they are a surgical center and that other than surgery they can??t assist me. It??s no wonder the office ran late if they waste everyone??s time like that. In my notes she referred to me as the wrong gender and her notes were not accurate.
- November 23, 2022 Very happy with Karen's professionalism, friendliness and knowledge of my specific situation. 100% pleased with this appointment
- November 20, 2022 She was very compassionate and interested in how my recovery was going
- November 20, 2022 She is very professional and helpful She knows how to explain things the way I can understand them. She is one of the best providers I've had.
- November 15, 2022 not the most professional doctor. friendly,outgoing,helpful.
- November 14, 2022 I would have appreciated knowing ahead of time that I would need to wear a neck collar for 3 months. No one told me this before the surgery and it might have made a difference as to when I scheduled the surgery.
- November 6, 2022 Very kind, thorough exam, knowledgeable in regards to possible diagnosis and immediately ordered X-rays and MRI. Was eager to send me to the neurosurgeon for evaluation.
- October 31, 2022 Extremely knowledgeable and capable, caring PA who assisted in my successful spine surgery.
- October 30, 2022 Karen Prueter is professional and caring. She discussed all treatment options and scheduled a MRI to further determine my mobility problem. I feel confident she will resolve my issues in a manner best for me.
- October 26, 2022 Karen listened to me and was very through about what she thought the problem was but also said there might be other options. I was very impressed with her knowledge about my problem. I also liked how she encouraged me . Thanks Karen
- October 12, 2022 She was very nice and knowledgeable in her field
- October 11, 2022 Karen prueter is an amazing spine specialist, she took the time to show me on a model and explain everything that I needed to know when I felt like wake Forest Baptist viewed me as a patient without insurance that they should rush through as fast as they can.
- October 6, 2022 she is a great PA.
- October 5, 2022 I felt she was very rigid and not willing to discuss compromising restrictions for the next two months. That, along with her brevity, prevented the discussion of my back for which an MRI was taken.
- October 5, 2022 Karen took her time with me (new pt) and did all kinds of test to help with my medical issue and she even had Dr. Stevens to come in and speak with me as well. She is very caring, friendly, compassionate provider.

- September 5, 2022 Kind and personable, Lisen to me and explains what is going on.
- September 2, 2022 listed well, even though i made a mistake about they year of my accident. was with me a long time.
- September 1, 2022 She was extremely helpful in letting me know that my treatment plan had been successful and that I was free from needing any other follow up unless I had any issues. She gave instructions on how to stay safe and exercise so I did not fall or get hurt. I think that she may not have known a lot about CMT, but that is ok - I was there for my back surgery, not mu CMT.

- June 29, 2022 Couldn't ask for better treatment from anyone
- June 28, 2022 On my first visit, I was impressed by Karen and her analytical assessment of my current, unknown reason and alarming changes this year for my physical body functions going awry. However, I feel she was so determined to complete her clinical assessment of questioning that I could not elaborate on my questions about certain physical aspects which had changed.
