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.

Dr. Genden was excellent as always. He saved my life in 2016 and I needed his guidance again now as I have been informed of a possible diagnosis of lymphoma (biopsy and tests forthcoming). He gave me data and advice as to how to understand my situation. I trust him Implicitly.
Excellent care provider.
He is an excellent Dr; I live in SC and come up just for him.
