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 16, 2023 The only negative was a 45 minute wait.
- September 11, 2023 We are so grateful to Dr Shen for the surgery to successfully remove the Merkel cell carcinomas. He told us exactly what he would do to make it a thorough and successful surgery.
- September 10, 2023 He was very caring and explained everything very well
- September 6, 2023 He was very clear about the results of the surgery. He was very caring and compassionate. He made very clear what would be done at the visit prior to the surgery.
- July 25, 2023 Perry Shen MD: I don't have enough space to properly express my feelings for Dr Shen and his team. I originally was not referred to Atrium Medical Health Center Wake Forest Baptist campus. I called my dermatologist requesting he refer me to a closer Atrium Medical facility. My medical records were sent timely...at the same time I completed the Hospital form requesting contact for an appointment...one day later I received a call from the Hospital and set a date with Dr Shen for the following week. We live in the mountains in the Northern part of the State... We arrived one hour before our appointment... which was delayed for three hours as Dr. Shen was performing emergency surgery. We had no idea how much longer the surgery would be so we decided to go home and come back the next day...we left, went to the parking lot, started the car ready to leave and my wife received a phone call. It was Dr Shen's office calling to tell us Dr Shen had returned and wanted us to return to his office for our earlier appointment so it wouldn't be necessary for us to drive home and return at a later date...HE IS AN AMAZING MAN. After all he had been through that day he still had time for our meeting and discussion of my medical needs. What more can I say....
