    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

    • June 11, 2022 Excellent Doctor
    • June 10, 2022 As stated earlier in survey, he’s a great, caring doctor. A 10+.
    • June 5, 2022 Answered all my questions and didn't rush thibgs
    • May 30, 2022 Helpful and thorough
    • May 24, 2022 I appreciate Dr Senft’s reading my chart prior to my visit and listening to my concerns with a focus on finding the right solution. He was also very respectful and exhibited a positive and professional image.
    • May 23, 2022 I really mean ALL those 10's! I even told the reception people they are amazing! Dr. Senfft educated me and listened! The nurse was completely attentive! I know my wait time was probably due to you all fitting me in, but there is NO hyperbole in my gratitude for or assessment of your office/clinic and my experience!
    • May 18, 2022 He was awesome!,
    • May 16, 2022 When my first quick Covid test was negative but we were pretty sure I had Covid, he repeated the quick test (and got a positive result) so that he could prescribe the antiviral pills during their window of usefulness.
    • May 11, 2022 Very good listens well and strictly professional. Helping get me to the area I need to be ! 100% better then Novant !! You need to keep these type of Dr’s !!!!
    • May 10, 2022 This was my first video visit and my first time seeing Dr Senft. He was very kind and patient. Great experience
    • May 9, 2022 Professional, Friendly and Explains test results so that I can understand.
    • May 6, 2022 Dr Senft at every visit has taken the time to listen to my concerns and explain the possible treatments. He takes his time and I don’t feel rushed
    • May 6, 2022 I like Dr. Senft very much. He asks questions and takes notes and I can see that he's thinking about my situation. The fact that he's not overlooking me and validates all my concerns means a lot to me. He's my new PCP.
    • May 4, 2022 It's been my pleasure to have such a thoughtful and competent physician. Dr. Senft listens to my experience, reviews test results, and arrives at a synthesis that both makes sense and is actionable.
    • May 4, 2022 Dr. Senft alway takes his time to review the medical record and listen to any concerns. He always provides an educated response.
    • April 27, 2022 During the past two years I have been without a primary care doctor having moved to this new area in the middle of the pandemic. As we all do, I needed someone I could trust with my care, who would listen, who is experienced and professional. And I had some unexpected and potentially serious health situations occur recently and had no doctor to call upon. It was stressful as it has been for many people during these recent times. I feel truly blessed to have had Dr. Senft recommended to me and was able to have my first visit. He took time to listen, asked good questions, and was very knowledgeable when I asked him questions. I left feeling very grateful for Dr.Senft and all the staff in the Internal Medicine clinic. I was losing confidence in the medical system, but he was able to quickly make other referrals I needed and everyone without exception was kind and helpful and got things done in a very timely manner. Thank you each and every one!
    • April 19, 2022 I like seeing Dr Senft and I hope I get to continue to see him. Since I have been seeing Wake Forest Drs after losing my Dr of 15 years I have seen several different Drs. At Wake Forest due to them leaving and it’s frustrating getting use to one Dr then having to start over
    • April 15, 2022 Dr. Senft was kind enough to discuss my health concerns and able to pull my prior history from other provider. He also setup a follow-up visit in 2 weeks after lab work. He has showed he does care about his patients.
    • April 15, 2022 Knowledgeable, willing to listen to history of problems, and responsive.
    • April 14, 2022 Good experience
    • April 14, 2022 Excellent Doc. Needs some IT help on referrals.
    • April 13, 2022 Dr. Senft is always extremely thorough and takes great concern for me. I trust him with my care and health.
    • April 7, 2022 Very informed, helpful and interested.
    • March 30, 2022 This provider listens and treats you as an individual. He always takes time to be present in the conversation and responds quickly to messages.
    • February 26, 2022 As I stated, had good discussion about BP problem. Dr Senft listened and recommended a BP log kept at home and I come back in 2 months with log for a follow up. He also told me to notify my ID Dr about my visit and his suspicions my meds may be involved. It was a very good visit.
    • February 23, 2022 Dr. Senft listened to me and was willing to try new things to address long-standing chronic issues.

    Why No Ratings

    Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
