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.

- April 22, 2023 It seems that dermatology is lacking in staff that they don’t have a lot of time to spend with patients and if you have an urgent need they can’t get you in the office in a timely manner, so it ends up being 6 months or more. It can’t be they are overbooked as the waiting room is not busy like it used to be in years past. I needed places frozen and they were totally out of the cryo tank. Who in the world let that happen? It seems all the Atrium doctors and staff are not on point like they used to be. Are they all getting burned out? This is not related to Dr Taylor but how the whole Atruim system works.
