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 appreciate their experience and candid approach to patient care. They didn't make me feel less than, and they were very informative. However, the resolution seems like a mile away. I really wish they were prepared to offer meaningful consultation other than repeating what my other provider already told me.
