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.

- 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.
- September 19, 2022 Dr. Paluri was very patient. He took time to explain to us and answer questions. He followed up calling and updating on treatment. I would recommend him.
- September 17, 2022 I have confidence in Dr. Paluri because of the approach he has taken through out my chemo treatment and follow up. He pays attention to details and is not satisfied until he understands any anomalies in test results or symptoms. Yet I feel that I have a say in my treatment based on the information he provides. I can??t ask for more.
- September 2, 2022 Dr. Paluri is compassionate and not only listens to you but explains my treatment process in a way I can understand !
