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.

June 2022

Dr Dewan is amazing. I had complications during my surgery and was in ICU in medically induced coma. The care dr dewan gave was spectacular. She went out of her way to ease my familys worries. She could never understand how grateful I truly am for her. The complication from surgery wasn't the Drs fault it was an intubation issue and her quick decision making most likely is what saved my life.
