We are excited to present the 2021 rater8 Practice Excellence Awards, where our clients are recognized for going above and beyond in creating the best patient experience possible. This year’s winners have truly set the standard for excellence in patient experience, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t hand out awards to all of our clients, so instead, we narrowed it down to the highest-rated practices (small, medium, and large), doctors, advanced practitioners, and office staff based on the internal ratings collected by rater8 surveys.
Join us in commemorating the extraordinary accomplishments of our clients!
