Patient Reviews

Kristine Carter is the best. She listens and genuinely cares about my health
Experienced on 8/30/2023
I have hereditary high cholesterol and effects of Hashimoto's disease. Kris prescribed statins and I took them but I have the side effect of horrible muscle pain and I stopped the medication. Kris understood my decision and encouraged me to keep up a healthy lifestyle with good diet and exercise. She didn't make me feel like I would drop dead if I didn't take the statin drugs. We have tried two different ones and I had terrible experiences with both. I feel like her concern for my health is genuine, and that she listens to my concerns.
The performance scores for each quality measure are based on information obtained through SelectHealth quality programs over a rolling 12-month period. Each score is compared to national benchmarks from the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS**), as well as to performance for similar specialty types in the SelectHealth networks.
**HEDIS is a registered trademark of the *NCQA and is designed to measure performance on important dimensions of care and services.
Blue ribbons indicate a provider’s quality performance nationally, based on their ratings:
1 blue ribbon < 25th percentile
2 blue ribbons ≥ 25th percentile and < 50th percentile
3 blue ribbons ≥ 50th percentile and < 75th percentile
4 blue ribbons ≥ 75th percentile and < 90th percentile
5 blue ribbons ≥ 90th percentile
If a provider does not have a quality rating, this usually means that he or she does not have enough volume of SelectHealth membership to gather data for the measures. It does not mean that the provider performs below those with ratings.
As you view these scores, remember that patients’ compliance can impact a physician’s score. For example, if a physician recommends a specific test or medical service, and the patient chooses not to have the test or service, the physician does not receive"credit" for that recommended care. This can negatively impact the provider’s overall score.
We measure in four main areas: 1) preventive screenings, 2) diabetes screenings, 3) medication adherence (whether a patient is taking medications as prescribed), and 4) pediatric monitoring.
