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
- June 25, 2022 Listens to our concerns, provides easy to understand information about our child’s health, kind and understanding, professional and very knowledgeable in his field of study
- June 21, 2022 Dr. Michael Walsh is the Best Pediatric Cardiologist that there is. He cares about his patients and explains everything to you & your child. So Thankful they referred us to him. The one we went to at Levine Childrens Center in Hickory was no help at all. Didn’t explain anything or do any test. Like the did at Baptist?????? I would referred anybody that needed the Best Pediatric Cardoligist to Dr Walsh. Him & his staff are Amazing!
- May 7, 2022 Dr Michael Walsh is the Best Pediatric Cardoligist we have seen. He is very concerned and caring about his patients. Jessie really liked him because he talked to him and ask him lots of questions about his heart. He’ll be our Dr from now on.
- February 7, 2022 Dr. Walsh was amazing. He fully explained our situation and answered all our questions. He took his time, listened, and provided feedback as necessary. We had an amazing experience with him and I would highly recommend him.
