    Patient Rating

    Rating: 4.8 out of 5
    4.8 /5
    ( out of 115 reviews )

    The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers.

    The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

    Patient Comments

    Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible.

    Dr. Jensen has been amazing through out the entire process up to this point. Explained everything to us very carefully and in a manner that we could understand. He gave us all the options that we had and told us if we needed a second opinion before moving forward that he was perfectly okay with that and after all that my wife and I looked at each other and said not needed we think we found our guy right here so lets get the ball rolling and make this happen. My wife and daughter said he was very thoughtful post Op explaining to them how things went etc. He came on his day off on Sunday to stop by and check in on me and to see how I was doing. We can't thank him enough for helping us through one of the more scariest feeling things that my family and I have been through. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this so much easier than we ever imagined. You and your team are incredible.
