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.

Patient Comments
Dr Chambers is an excellent provider and communicator. She "fixed" me and got me back to my active lifestyle
Jan 12, 2025
This was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a provider. After asking me a question I would begin to answer only to be cutoff with no communication or warning by the provider so she could speak-to-type her note about what I was saying. She interrupted every single sentence I spoke and I wasnt even able to finish a thought. [...] When I was given time to ask questions she would quickly cut me off and answer what she thought I was asking. [...] I left the office in tears and felt so disrespected and sad about the way this provider left me feeling. I will not be returning for care with Dr. Lauren Chambers again.

She was very cold and cared more about typing in to her computer than talking to me. She never addressed me by name. Very bad bedside manner. [...] She was very cold and I felt uncaring .

Dr. Chambers takes the time to clearly explain all treatment options/courses of action and answer any questions.

Excellent care
Dec 13, 2024
This provider demonstrated very little care or concern [...] She barely introduced herself to me and her tone throughout was curt. [...] I can't think of a worse medical appointment in my 67 years of life.

Only concerned about what she wanted to say. Stated her "statements" in rapid succession. Could not possibly take it in as she spoke her medical "language". Certainly not patient friendly!!!!!!

She wouldn't listen to me. She kept saying ok let me finish then I'll let you ask your questions. I believed I was in the wrong place and that it wasn't what my GP said it would be like but she wouldn't listen when I tried to clarify.

Dr. Chambers explained everything thoroughly and was patient and understanding of my concerns. I highly recommend her.

My appointment with Dr. Lauren Chambers was the worst medical interaction I have ever had. She made it very clear from the beginning of the appointment that she didn't want to be treating me. I wanted to ask her If I had done something but someone helped me make the appointment so I felt I should just accept it. She was unprofessional and shutdown any questions I had. I finally quit asking questions and just agreed with what she said. When she asked if I had any final questions, I said that I didn't and she said, "cool". Her exam was so quick and not thorough [...]. [...] I walked away from her appointment feeling completely discouraged, hopeless [...]. This behavior is completely unacceptable.
