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.
I see ALOT of doctors at Mount Sinai for various conditions, and Daniel was one of the best i've seen. Firslty he'd actually taken the time to review my medical records before i'd arrived (digging up an MRI from a couple yrs ago). Secondly, he was extremely friendly and put me at ease. Most importantly, he took the time to listen to me and I didn't feel like I was rushed out of the room without having my concerns addressed. The fact that he knew why I was there and had even looked at my records in advance deeply increased my trust in the doctor. [...] My visit with him was a very unexpectedly great experience. It's the kind of service all your doctors should be providing.
De. Alicea was very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and tailored my treatment plans to my specific needs. Excellent care, thank you!
My surgery was excellent and I loved my surgeon. [...]
