Patients Choice Awards

October 21, 2009

Dr. Peter Lotze was honored by his patients with a Patients' Choice Recognition Award.

This honor reflects the difference he has made in these people's lives through the exceptionally high praise granted to him by his patients.

Every month, more than 40,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their experiences with their doctors. They rate various components such as bedside manner, doctor-patient face time, degree of follow-up, courtesy of office staff, and overall opinions.

Over the course of 2009, these reviews have totaled hundreds of thousands of patient opinions. While physicians generally receive positive reviews from their patients, only a select few receive uniformly rave reviews across the board. Of those that receive rave reviews, only physicians like Dr. Lotze - with near perfect scores – have been voted by their patients for this honor.

In fact, of the nation's 720,000 active physicians, less than 5% were accorded this honor by their patients in 2008.

The "Patients' Choice" award is tabulated by MdxMedical, Inc.
