At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

When PA Chris Montanaro entered the room, he was happy, spoke clearly and listened to me and any concerns that I had. He wrote them down so that he would remember during the procedure. Which he DID remember!!!!!

Chris Montanaro is always kind and compassionate. I had a craniotomy for an aneurysm and he talks lots of time to answer all of my questions.
