Patient Rating
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. It works like this: Real patients give us feedback through Press Ganey, a patient satisfaction survey company. They verify and confirm the results. National Research Corporation, an independent company, provides the technology to show the ratings and comments on our website

Dr Engstad is a very compassionate physician who listens and responds to all patient needs --- Despite his very busy and demanding schedule he treats me as if I'm his only patient ---- All my concerns and questions were completely answered in a thoughtful manner. I am so grateful to have him as my thoracic surgeon> The diagnosis is terrifying, but he gives me reassurance, and through his knowledge and expertise I know he gives me the best care possible.
