How are star ratings for providers determined?

Star ratings are based on responses to survey questions that focus on a patient's likelihood to recommend the provider's office to family and friends as well as the provider's care, including whether the provider listened carefully, spent enough time with you, explained things in an easy-to-understand way, and seemed to know important information about your medical history. Press Ganey averages and converts all survey responses into a single star rating, with five stars being the highest.

Testimonials

"I am so grateful that we have such an outstanding 21st century cancer center. Everyone is kind, considerate, friendly, and helpful. The journey is difficult emotionally and for some physically but knowing we have all the help we need does make navigating easier. Dr. Blount is very calming and Dr. Choi too. The staff are all wonderful and so helpful. I'm grateful for Lady Ridley-Tree and all the donors who made the center happen. I finished my treatment in May, and I hope to never have to come back, but I am thankful to everyone who has helped me."
