To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed Medical Practice Survey. Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.
All went well with my cortisone injection.
Excellent
It was good
My visit with the doctor or his nurse is always pleasant, and look forward to my visit.
Discussing with Dr. Gottschalk good and helpful.
Certainly came off as QUITE confident in abilities - I'm sure its related to treating athletes but as "regular folk," I didn't need a "pump up" of his skills. He was recommended & has years of experience.
Dr Gottschalk and staff are very attentive and I would highly recommend him.
