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.

The Resident have a wonderful bedside manner (I suppose that it should be chair side since it was a clinic). He actually looked me to eye to eye instead of staring at the computer while he talked. I was very impressed it's not often you find a great surgeon with a great bedside manner!
