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.

I was very disappointed after this visit. I had elbow tendinitis and my left elbow was treated In Pennsylvania from where I moved [...] last year. Now I visited URMC with the similar problem but on the right hand. After waiting several months for this visit, I was expecting my provider would listen to my problem, go through my previous treatment history, and suggest what to do or not. But instead he was not interested in listening my history [...]. This is the first time I met a doctor who was asking the patient about the treatment. I am never going to visit this facility and never going to recommend anyone to go. Very very disappointing service.

I have already recommended Dr. St. John to several people. I wanted to get back in the exercise game quickly. Dr. St. John carefully reviewed things I could do and things I could not yet do. His warning about scar tissue healing and tendon tissue healing next led me to take care of the injury more conscientiously.

Dr. St. John, the anesthesiologist staff, and the surgical team are Top Notch! I would recommend them, hands down! Just try not to break the hand to begin with! But thumbs up for the entire staff! Thank You!
