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.

- February 16, 2022 Dr. Yeboah was assigned as my cardiologist when I admitted to the hospital in January, 2021 with heart problems. I had not had heart issues previously and Dr. Yeboah always had interns with him when he visited me in the hospital, so I wasn't sure that I would choose him to be my permanent cardiologist after I left the hospital. However, I did go in to see him for a follow-up visit and found him to be a very concerned and attentive doctor. He is always prompt in office visits and takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns. I never feel rushed as if he is trying to hurry to get to the next patient, even though it is evident he keeps his appointments on schedule. He encourages me to contact him with my questions and concerns and I have sent several messages to him through My Wake Health portal and I have never failed to receive an immediate response. I am not happy to have heart issues and they are a certainly a new health problem for me, but I am t I am very glad that Dr. Yeboah was assigned to me when I ended up in the hospital.

- January 25, 2022 Dr. Yeboah has been my cardiologist for 3 years now, I like him, and feel confident in his treatment of my case. I prefer to visit Dr. Yeboah in person, but did a virtual visit because of recent exposure to COVID (tested NEGATIVE), and bad weather the day of my appointment. We used smart phones for virtual visit. I had difficulty hearing Dr.Yeboah on this last visit, and I had to have him repeat what he said.
- January 16, 2022 Dr Yeboah is attentive and always answers any email and questions.
- January 12, 2022 He listens, reviews meds, discusses options.
