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.

September 2023

Dr. Tynes was wonderful. I haven't been to a primary care physician for 17 years due to the bad treatment that I received at that time. I wish he had been my physician back then as I would not have put off going to visit the doctor for such a long time. He left me feeling like he listened to my concerns and was looking out for the long term health of my body rather than just another patient.

Dr Tynes takes time to discuss treatments and answer questions.
