The Star Ratings associated with each provider is the average of responses from the “likelihood to recommend” question on our patient experience surveys conducted by Qualtrics. The survey goes to patients seen in both the inpatient and outpatient setting; however, the surveys are different. The comments are actual comments received from patients. The number of responses received varies by provider.
