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.
Dr Lori Croft is the best physician experience I have ever had.
Would highly recommend Dr. Croft and her team.
I was nervous coming into the appointment and Dr. Croft immediately put me at ease. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of time she dedicated to the visit both to understand the reason for my visit and to get to know me. I haven't been to a doctor in quite some time who showed so much care, compassion and took the time for a visit.
