Patient Experience Rating
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai physician communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on the Clinician & Group CAHPS (CG-CAHPS) Survey, a standardized questionnaire developed by Medicare. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
