    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

    • July 28, 2023 He is by far my favorite provider on my very large physician care team. If every doctor was as caring as he was I fear our healthcare system would collapse because everyone would go to the doctor every day. Imagine the paperwork!

    • April 27, 2023 Dr. Tonuzi is the most caring, thorough, and responsive doctor I’ve had in over 15 years. He didn’t have good news to share, but was patient and kind as I struggled with it; Dr. Tonuzi offered options for treatment and gave me plenty of room to make decisions. He was the only doctor in 15 years to afford me the basic respect of addressing me as “Dr.” instead of “Mrs.” I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Tonuzi!

    • September 10, 2022 I apologize for not knowing her name but the woman that checked me in has been there on the fourth floor for quite some time now, she is sweetest and nicest receptionist I??ve known. She even remembers my name and how I was feeling the last time I was there. Laura the nurse has been there for years as well, she is absolutely wonderful! I sincerely hope you pay her enough to keep her there because she is irreplaceable. Dr. Tonuzi is one of a kind,an excellent doctor that I have been blessed to be a patient of.

    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.
