Ratings & Comments
At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

Patient Comments
I was very disappointed after this visit. I had elbow tendinitis and my left elbow was treated In Pennsylvania from where I moved [...] last year. Now I visited URMC with the similar problem but on the right hand. After waiting several months for this visit, I was expecting my provider would listen to my problem, go through my previous treatment history, and suggest what to do or not. But instead he was not interested in listening my history [...]. This is the first time I met a doctor who was asking the patient about the treatment. I am never going to visit this facility and never going to recommend anyone to go. Very very disappointing service.

I don't plan to come back my choice

I have already recommended Dr. St. John to several people. I wanted to get back in the exercise game quickly. Dr. St. John carefully reviewed things I could do and things I could not yet do. His warning about scar tissue healing and tendon tissue healing next led me to take care of the injury more conscientiously.

Dr. St. John, the anesthesiologist staff, and the surgical team are Top Notch! I would recommend them, hands down! Just try not to break the hand to begin with! But thumbs up for the entire staff! Thank You!

Dr. St. John was excellent. He explained everything I needed to know and made it easy for me to understand prior to surgery and after surgery and for my post op appointment. I am very happy with the results. I had absolutely zero pain after the procedure.

I am very pleased with my visit with Dr. St. John. I feel he explained everything I needed to know. Should I require more medical expertise I would be fortunate to see him again.

Got what I needed done completed quickly, discussed what happens if I needed a third round of cortisone, and whether surgery might be needed (which I already pretty much knew the answer).

Dr. St. John is a caring professional. He involved me in my surgery recovery, encouraging a dialogue and a trust.
Sep 13, 2024
Dr. St. John, unlike many specialists, talks TO me, not AT me. He listens, he acknowledges my concerns, and responds to them, rather than humoring me.
