To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed CAHPS Clinician & Group Survey (CG-CAHPS). Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.

Dr. Spann has the best bedside manner. She explained everything so well. She was very invested in asking questions that related to my medical history and she even shared her own experience, which made her even more relatable. She walked me through the next steps for my follow-up appointment where I felt very comfortable and secure in the staff's ability to implement my plan of care.
