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 5, 2022 Dr. Willett takes his time and goes over things with you. I never feel rushed and I feel like he really listens to me and what I need. I feel like he really cares about his patients whereas my past providers have made me feel like just a number. They are in and out like they are trying to see just how many patients they can see in one day.
- October 2, 2022 Like him very well
- October 1, 2022 I have answered these questions as my daddy's voice. He was unresponsive when he was transported from Accordius. They got him alert enough that we could talk with him a little. He was in very serious condition. I know even though he could not tell us, he knew was being loving cared for by all of the staff and doctors. He is in hospice at this time. Your hospice care led us all the way as we had never experienced this in our family before. Wonderful group of caregivers.
- October 1, 2022 See my earlier comments on this survey--not for the first time, my questions were blown off with a "don't worry." When I ask specific questions, I want specific information in return.

- August 25, 2022 Great Doctor
- August 25, 2022 Dr. Ralph Willett is one of only a few remaining gentleman physicians within the health profession. He shows care for his patients, has a great "bedside" manner, and listens intensely to their concerns. Dr. Willett is not a physician that looks at a time clock to process his patients out in 15 minute interevals. I would recommend Dr. Willett to anyone needing a health care physician.
- August 19, 2022 Dr. Willett is the best.

- August 2, 2022 Dr.Gillett ,is professional and does a great job.
- August 2, 2022 I get the feeling that Dr. Willett is very rushed. It isn't just him...other doctors I've seen in the system seem to be also. The days of a doctor sitting and listening closely are over, I fear. The bottom line financially seems to be more important. Again, this isn't just Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Novant is the same way. Managed care rules.
