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 19, 2023 Felt like I was being forced into a treatment that I knew nothing about. Received no information from Dr. Paluri concerning this treatment? Do not feel comfortable with doing anything I have no idea what it is? Also have not fully recovered from surgery and pneumonia. Can't eat anything normally. But not addressed this concern, nor my weight loss ??

- October 12, 2022 I am very pleased with Dr. Paluri and the supporting, I recognize that my journey will be difficult at best and trust thei care. The main issues I have is the is the useless client tell phone calls, I realy need to know that I have appointments in November and December. I also do not need multiple phone reminders for appoints that I have accepted and confirmed on MyWakeHealth, 14 of the last 24 calls were from client tell, sound like a virus that need treating. My WakeHealth has the same issue, I get a new message every day that I have an upcoming visits that I have already addresed per above. Last and not least is the lack of coordination between MyWakeHealth and the visit check in process, One has the sign the treatment and finanical responsibility document to complete the online appointment confirmation. Then repeat the process again on check-in.
