At University of Rochester Medicine, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URochester Medicine 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.

Dr Acosta is a very good man. He explained everything to me so that I could understand. Also he treated me with dignity and respect.

The doctor is lacking in interpersonal skills. He speaks in a robotic way, providing information sparingly. I felt o was given the bare minimum quickly and told more information would come after lab analysis was complete, but I had to ask for the info I wanted. He did not automatically provide it.
