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. Pendergrass is an amazing doctor and surgeon. She is very knowledgeable about endometriosis. Her MA, Katerina, is always very nice. I'm proud to call these gals part of my medical team!

Overall, I feel this provider is a good physician. I have a surgical history and undiagnosed pain. I'm not any closer to understanding my pain! I received valuable suggestions, but not sure how much consideration was given for potential diagnosis based on not nearly fitting into a set of easily identifiable symptoms/diagnosis.

It took a while before being seen, but I hope it was because there was a thorough chart review happening.

This provider is a great gynecologist that I have been going to for years but the front office staff needs to learn how to be more like the doctor as they are not very personable, or friendly. From my interactions with them they seem snotty and judgmental just with the few sentences or comments they make.

Dr. Pendergrass is the best doctor I could've asked for! She changed my life and I am so lucky to have her on my team!

I loved how knowledgeable and understanding she was. Not pushy or arrogant at all, as I've found some OBGYNs to be in the past. Loved her!

I was visiting from out of town and needed an appointment ASAP and originally there was no appointments open within [date removed], but I got a call back and was able to be seen by Dr. Pendergrass who opened her schedule up and I've never been so pleased with my experience. Definitely will recommend to family here!!
