Pleased to be a Patients' Choice Physician

The recognition keeps rolling in:

I just received notice that the American Registry has named me as a Patients' Choice Physician.

Here's what they had to say:

"Dear Dr. Brueck,

Congratulations! You have been recognized as a Patients' Choice physician. 

The Patients' Choice award is bestowed upon physicians based on your patients' appreciation and praise for the quality of care and service you provide.

Every month, more than 200,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their doctor experiences. They rate various components of the care they receive, such as bedside manner, doctor-patient face time, follow-up care, ease of appointment setting and courtesy of office staff. They also share their overall opinions.

Over the course of 2013, hundreds of thousands of patient reviews were written and shared. While physicians generally receive positive feedback from their patients, only physicians like you - with near perfect scores - have been voted by their patients for this honor.

In fact, of the nation's 870,000 active physicians, only 5 percent were accorded this honor by their patients in 2013.

You are, indeed, the Patients' Choice: A physician who is not only highly regarded, but also recommended, by their patients.

Congratulations on this outstanding distinction."

Of course, I know any recognition like this, while it has my name on it, can really be attributed to my remarkable staff and my equally remarkable patients. Thank you all.
