Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments

The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Care Provider’s Explanation

Care Provider’s Concern

Likelihood to Recommend Care Provider

Dr. Brian Abittan is an exceptional dermatologist who combines extensive medical knowledge with genuine compassion and respect for his patients. He is consistently warm, pleasant, and kind, creating an atmosphere where I feel comfortable discussing my concerns and confident in the care I receive. What I appreciate most is that Dr. Abittan takes the time to understand my concerns, answer my questions, and consider my goals, preferences, and desired outcomes. While he provides thoughtful recommendations based on his expertise, he also respects my wishes and works collaboratively with me to determine the approach that best fits my needs. One example that reflects his patient-centered approach was when I shared that I preferred to postpone treatment of several facial skin concerns until after an important family event. Dr. Abittan was very reassuring and understanding. He explained that waiting would not be a problem and that we could address these concerns at my next visit. His response demonstrated his respect for my priorities and his commitment to providing care that fit my circumstance. I am particularly grateful for how conscientious and considerate Dr. Abittan is when recommending treatments, especially those that may involve discomfort or pain. He carefully explains options, and demonstrates genuine concern for my comfort and overall experience. His approach reflects not only his medical expertise, but also his compassion and dedication to patient-centered care. I am also very appreciative of his willingness to accommodate my request to see my husband on the same day of my next visit to accommodate our joint travel. I hope this feedback recognizes the exceptional care and positive patient experience that Dr. Abittan consistently provides. Regards, [...]
