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 Yirinec is wonderful. I trust his judgement as we journey through my treatment. He is quite thoughtful in ensuring quality of life and I thoroughly appreciate his ability to make a patient feel like an individual who deserves the best care available. Sometimes people in palliative care feel they may not get the same consideration as others. Dr Yirinec and the Pluta staff never ever make you feel less than worthy. Love them all!
