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

I was told OT would be ordered for me in follow up. 2+ weeks no one has called me. I called the Legacy OT. They told me the order needed to be faxed to them - even though I can see it a part of the plan in MyChart.

My race is Mexican... MS Thomas is a true professional. She exceeded her cause to get at root of my injury. She was also concerned with my knees and walking. Even though its not her responsibility. Great advice.. She is what health professionals should be. Thank you Dr. Thomas

This was my pre-op visit before my surgery.

I came to Dr. Thomas for a 2nd opinion. The open honesty in her explanations have helped me in making a decision for the next step in my health care. Since it is considered elective surgery, with pandemic, I will have to wait.

This Dr knows her stuff.

My health issues are complicated and chronic. The doctor worked with me asa partner in my health. Enough time was spent to review the situation, discuss options for intervention and consider risks. I appreciated the fact that she took time to discuss how I was handling my health issues and develop a follow up plan; considering the options, risks, and my tolerance of the issues at hand. I felt understood asa a person and a patient.

I've had this shoulder issue for 8 years, but needed to find out exactly what is going on so I can make a decision of what I'm going to do. Dr. Thomas was very helpful. I'm waiting for the insurance to accept my application for a MRI.

I have had to wait for an hour (or more) past my appointment time before being seen. I understand things get busy but my time is also valuable. I don't have time to spend 2+ hours for a brief post-op check every time I come in

You asked specifically about this provider. Howeve,r another provider from this office was able to help me within a week of the office reopening after pandemic closing. The delay was pandemic plus Dr. Thomas is busy. She is excellent. A credit to your company, that office, and the profession.

Dr. Thomas's office is extremely professional, courteous, always my appointments are seen on time and I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas to family and friends.

Dr. Thomas and the 3 other people I saw were professional and excellent listeners and information providers. They were very patient with me and took the time to write down all the aftercare and information I would need for surgery. Additionally they were able to squeeze me into their schedule at the last minute. I left appointment very confident that I am in the right hands.

ok

I am grateful to this office for squeezing me in for an appointment to meet with the physician's assistant even though it was during the global pandemic. I was suddenlyin a great deal of pain, and I didn't know why. My primary care doctor also didn't know why. When I came to your office, Dr. Thomas had looked at my file along with the physician's assistant, and they knew exactly what was happening, and provided appropriate treatment on that day. Thank you so much!!!
