Ratings & Comments
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.

Dr. Lizarraga is doing the best he can with a difficult situation.
Jul 11, 2022
Excellent detail.
Apr 13, 2022
[...] Both the provider and the fellow said (at different times) "we are sticking with you," which really makes me wonder - was there some alternative possibility which involved - not - sticking with me? I have tremendous respect for the provider's problem-solving skills and his expertise, and I know that if I ask for something specific he will address it directly. I love that. What I am missing from our communication is the sense that I, too, am "in the loop" when it comes to my care. I want to know where I can go and what I can read and what sources I should access to gain a better understanding of what is happening to me (and I don't mean the fizzy self-help and wellness journalism published by the big Parkinson's Foundations.) [...] I don't want to take up a lot of time; I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Both examiners were very thorough.
