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.

I came in with a lot of questions. I had been unable to get an appointment in a reasonable time from another provider and had called for advise of what to doPA in Dr. Newman's office called with questions to pass on to Dr. Newman.. And I was given an appointment within 2days. I was thankful that the team worked so well together, and Dr. Newman is being aggressive in figuring out what is going on with me.

Never had a bad experience. Dr Newman use to manage all my health concerns when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after my car accident back in 1994. I was already suffering from depression and anxiety. When I got Fibromyalgia it excerbated myWhich Included the conitive issues (fog brain), pain and IBS. She wrote up referrals when I needed them for my Fibromyalgia. [...] Back in 2019 I had a breakdown and Dr Newman sent me to U OF R Behavioral & Mental Health facilities.
