Rainy Lake Medical Center surgical department achieves perfect patient satisfaction score

Rainy Lake Medical Center, or RLMC, officials announced this week that its surgical department achieved a 100 percent patient satisfaction score on Press Ganey surveys for the month of April, a remarkable accomplishment in healthcare.

Every patient who completed a survey following care in the surgical department awarded the highest possible rating across all categories, including communication, compassion, professionalism and overall experience. The results reflect feedback not only for the surgeons themselves, but for the entire surgical team who support patients before, during, and after their procedures.

“Achieving a perfect score like this is no small feat, and it speaks volumes about the commitment our surgical team has to every single patient,” said RLMC CEO Robb Pastor. “From the moment a patient walks through our doors, our goal is to provide not only exceptional clinical care, but an experience where they feel informed, supported and genuinely cared for. I couldn’t be prouder of the teamwork, compassion and professionalism this group demonstrates every day.”

RLMC’s surgical department provides a wide range of services close to home, including general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, gynecological surgery, and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) care, ensuring patients in the region have access to high-quality surgical options without needing to travel far.

While a perfect score is exceptional, it is also part of a broader standard of excellence at Rainy Lake Medical Center. Across departments and providers, RLMC consistently receives patient satisfaction scores in the 90th percentile range, demonstrating a system-wide commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.

At RLMC, patient experience is a top priority, Pastor says. Staff strive to go above and beyond each day to ensure that every individual who walks through the doors feels heard, valued and supported.

Rainy Lake Medical Center officials extend gratitude to the community for placing their trust in the organization for surgical care and all healthcare needs.
