NAPLES, Fla. (July 23, 2011) – Naples orthopedic surgeon Robert J. Zehr, M.D., of The Zehr Center for Orthopaedics, has been named one of America’s Most Compassionate Doctors by PatientsChoice.org. Of the nation’s 720,000 active physicians, fewer than 3% were accorded this honor by their patients in 2010.The award recognizes “faithful service to patients” as determined by online patient ratings. Dr. Zehr has received more patient evaluations upon which to base this award than any other orthopedic surgeon in the Southwest Florida area, as much as 90% more in some cases.
Every month, more than 100,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their doctor experiences. They rate the various components of the care they receive, such as bedside manner, doctor-patient time, follow-up care, ease of appointment setting, and courtesy of office staff. Many also share their overall opinions by submitting comments as well, such as this one from Dennis Ferrazzano, “Dr. Zehr replaced a badly damaged and arthritic knee. The results were beyond any reasonable expectation. I've had over 15 surgeries on knee and shoulder at top places around the country and this is by far the best outcome. He is a gifted surgeon at the top of his game. I recommend him highly and without qualification.” To learn more about the world-class compassionate care provided by the Zehr Center for Orthopaedics, visit www.zehrcenter.com.
