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. Ryan Nelson was very patient to explain the results of the Holter Monitor I had on for 14 days. He answered my questions and paid attention to my comments. He discovered a serious error in my medication when I commented that my blood pressure was much lower when I was on the pill that [...] Emergency gave me a 30 day prescription for ( it had not been renewed). He checked my chart and saw that Dr. [...] (my primary) had written a prescription to renew the Amlodipine to Wegmans but no one ever contacted me about the pill. Dr. Nelson wrote me a new prescription and I went to Wegman to get it. [...] I'm really grateful for Dr. Nelson's through action.

It was a joy to meet Dr Ryan Nelson! He listened to me, has a common sense approach in helping me with a problem I've had for some time. I know he reviewed my chart before I got there based on his questions. He is a very nice guy!
