Physician Star Rating Description
Each patient's experience at our practice is important to us. As we strive to provide the highest level of care, we value feedback on all aspects of the patient experience. This MedicalGPS patient experience survey measures patient satisfaction from the time the appointment was made to the time the patient spent with the provider.
- Visit Preparation: Measures how courteous, respectful and friendly the clinical staff was during the patient's visit.
- Provider Listened: Measures how carefully the provider listens to the needs of each and every patient.
- Office Wait Time: Measures how satisfied the patient was with wait time during their visit.
- Patient Recommendation: Measures how likely the patient is to recommend this practice to family and friends.

Care Philosophy
When I can replace knees or hips and within a month they’re back doing all the things they love and haven’t been able to do in a long time, I know their quality of life has improved tremendously. It’s very rewarding when patients come to me in pain and entrust me with their most basic need—their health.
