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. Halpin made time for me to check an incision from surgery. She is a very nice person who I know was busy that day but still made time for me.

I appreciate Dr Halpin not being to stern or lecturing me about my weight gain. I have not been focusing on myself and my health in the last couple of years; and need to get back into that. I appreciate Dr Halpin's constipation and understanding that life can change and we loose focus of ourselves.

I was extremely impressed with Dr Halpin. She spent much time reviewing extensive health history records from multiple providers. I feel she cared about my concerns and took the time to draw diagrams of my anatomy and explain my current health situation and her proposed surgery. She listened carefully and weighed my opinions. I feel she has a respectful doctor/patient attitude, which I respond well to and much appreciate.

I find reception staff to be fairly unprofessional. When calling them there is almost always really long hold times. They aren't very friendly. But all the medical staff is outstanding!

Dr. Halpin is a wonderful doctor. She and her staff answered all of my questions and my husband's questions, and put my mind at ease regarding bariatric surgery. The care I received at Legacy Good Sam, and with Dr. Halpin especially is second to none. I would highly recommend her and Legacy Diabetes and Weight Management to anyone considering bariatric surgery.
