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.

The appointment was extremely rushed. It increased my anxiety level, and I felt too hurried to consider the doctor's recommendations and formulate questions. I am now trying to get questions answered after-the-fact. [...]

This was first visit. Doctor had a tiny bit of general non-health related conversation, but otherwise didn't bother to get to know me. [...] The examination was very brief. She seemed to be in a hurry. Spent only about five minutes with me. [...] Disappointed. [...] they need time to slow down and get to know their patients and their thoughts.
