The Department of Urology had eight providers who were recognized by UAB Medicine as Patient Experience Leaders based on their patient feedback scores on Medallia.

These providers each received an average of 95% or higher in care satisfaction, which ranks them as some of the top UAB Medicine providers based on the following score categories:

• Listened carefully
• Demonstrated care and concern
• Provided clear explanations
• Included patient in healthcare decisions
• Overall Care Rating

These results exhibit exceptional fulfillment of UAB expectations on the standard of care and dedication to providing memorable support for our patients and their families.

The department would like to recognize the following list of both faculty and advanced practice providers:

Dean George Assimos, MD – 98.8
Elizabeth Hamlin Blount, CRNP – 98.2
