Patient Satisfaction Survey
In an effort to continuously improve services, we survey our patients to learn about their experiences.
You may receive our survey by mail or email. To ensure confidentiality, this survey is administered by an independent third-party, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
Your feedback and comments about your visit will help us evaluate our services, and understand how we might improve our care. With more patient feedback, we are better equipped to improve the patient experience.
Thank you in advance for completing the survey. Your participation will help us to improve the quality of care that we provide to you, your family, friends, and neighbors.
If you have any questions, please contact our Patient Representatives office at 612-873-8585.
