View Our Patient Satisfaction Survey Results

Periodically our practice asks you how we are doing by requesting you complete a satisfaction survey in our office. We think it is important to share those results with you. We use this survey information to target opportunities for improvement in our offices. This summary provides a snapshot on how we did overall during the last survey which was done in August, 2011. Note however, that you do not have to wait until another survey comes around to share your thoughts with us. Please feel free to fill out our online satisfaction survey or look for the satisfaction surveys in the office and drop them into the office suggestion box which can be found at every office check-out window. Thanks so much for your feedback. It really does help us to improve service to our patients.
