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
I never thought that I'd find a Dr like Dr Rivera, but I did. The time Dr Rivera has spent with me, going over my history, concerns and future long term care, and just listening, has been amazing, I can't be happier. [...]
One of the best doctors I've ever spoken to. She was so attentive. I Also loved her candor about what we would or wouldn't be able to cover in-depth (since I had a lot of reasons for my visit, it was good to know upfront if I may need to come back for a second appt to discuss something detail). I felt like she she really listened and just really rooting for me. Very educated and professional
Dr. Rivera is always patient and thorough.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
