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.

I was extremely pleased Dr. Kathryn Richardson was a part of the team during my surgery although I didn't know her because I was under anesthesia, it was comforting to know she was aware of me. This is an excellent procedure. I was relieved and able to put my health care needs in Dr. Richardson care with ease
