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 was an excellent provider and I am recovering well from my surgery which she performed. My only trepidation is that when having my post op check in she gave very little helpful info and maybe that is because we have a booklet with all the info in it. I suppose I was expecting more reassurance that I was doing things right. She seemed more concerned with me putting my mask back on after blowing my nose. However, overall my care was good for the most part.

Frequently when I have come to this office I have to stand around with no acknowledgement from staff that I am waiting like "just a minute" or "I'll be right with you." Makes it very awkward. Wish they were a bit friendlier.

I have concerns that went unanswered & still have pain. Wish she would have listened a little more after to try and help instead of saying ER if it happens again.

The doctor was very nice, patient and kind. The office staff (mainly medical assistants) need a course in customer service and bedside manner. They all lacked compassion, respect, a bedside manner and kindness. They were rushed and it felt as if they were annoyed that they had to see patients. As if the patients were interrupting their day and their time. Patients do have a choice in where they receive their care. If you treat patients with disregard and disrespect, they will seek healthcare somewhere else. Their behavior was absolutely uncalled for, inappropriate and disgusting. No patient deserves to be treated in that manner. Period.

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 felt that she had no bed side manner. I thought that we had the appt. the wait I wanted but found out it wasn't and I panicked and because of the mix up, I was blamed for it.

Dr. Halpin is very caring and professional. Her attention to my low grade fever after surgery put my mind at ease.

My weight loss journey has been difficult but always the doctors & staff have been very helpful & enjoyable to be with. I have been very happy with all of my providers @ Legacy.
Doctor was rushed as patient before me took a lot of time. I was the last appointment of the day.
