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
- September 20, 2023 Karen is a very kind yet firm provider (which is an awesome quality) to have. She wants her pts to heal and recover the way they are supposed to and wants them to follow the surgeons and hers directions for a successful outcome as she truly cares for her patients. She has always let me know that she is there if ever I need her for anything and she has been. I thank God for putting me with her and Dr. Stevens.
- September 16, 2023 Very nice and knowledgeable about my problem and what to do.
- September 14, 2023 As a senior I felt like I was listened to and treated with respect. So many times seniors are dismissed. I am an active senior and want to continue being active. Thank you Karen for your care and explaining everything so clearly.

- 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.

- 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 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 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.
- October 1, 2022 Karen was amazing and thorough and very well informed ! Knowledgeable and felt she was totally on top of the situation with me !
