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.

- 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.

I left feeling very grateful for Dr.Senft and all the staff in the Internal Medicine clinic.

Thank you each and every one!
