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. Johnson and his PA Erika are wonderful. They listen, they ask relevant questions, they make suggestions and I am always pleased with my appointments with them.

[...] Excellent doctor who needs to be allowed the time needed within reason rather than thanking heaven he is smart and articulate and can say a lot clearly but has to depend on GI docs and PCPs in intervening times who may. Frankly, [...] just not care or be a PA with no identifiable supervising MD.
