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 14, 2023 Was late 1 hour after appointment time with no explanation or apology. No one ever checked on me for 45 minutes in the room.
- October 1, 2023 I was greeted by Jessica appropriately and it felt genuine I didn’t feel any negative energy and I am big on that. Jessica explained everything in detail regarding my visit. Jessica asked me if i had any questions or concerns during the visit. Jessica listened when I did have questions. Both Jessica and her assistant engaged with my partner along with the nurse assistant whom helped her and for that that’s a 10 immediately. Thank you guys ????????.

- March 9, 2023 I know your job is difficult and dealing with different personalities may be a challenge but there's no reason to laugh at them.
- February 27, 2023 I do not ever give superlatives over and over. But Dr. Tate deserves it. She cares, listens , talks, asks. She has a lovely sense of humor . She also knows her area. She shares with us information about certain drugs that are out there for PD patients . Shetajes all the time intge world with you it feels like. I am aware of schedules and the need. I have always had my questions answered. I have rarely had to wait for her. I think she is a jewel in your Parkinson’s and Botox crown. She is a positive addition to my care giving team and 6 years in that is so important to me. If I am going to handle my issues with grin, a bit 9f irreverence, many thank yous and an upbeat approach, I sure want the folks around me doing much the same. Wish I lived closer to make all the PT, OT , Voice T and Dr Tate visits easier. Also it is a bear to get in and around AHWFB!
