Press Ganey Certificate of Recognition for Dr. Michael G. Kaiser
Dr. Michael G. Kaiser is a neurosurgeon with advanced training in complex spinal surgery who is well-respected in his field.
He is on the editorial board of JNS:Spine, one of the leading peer-reviewed spine journals, and serves as an intermittent reviewer for two additional journals.
He is also widely published in clinical articles, book chapters, and meeting abstracts.
Dr. Kaiser’s professional reputation is the direct result of his dedication as an academic neurosurgeon. However, one of the most rewarding aspects of his job is helping patients resume their normal activities and restoring their quality of life.
He understands that when patients come to see him, because of a problem, it can be an extremely stressful and anxious time in their lives. Dr. Kaiser values the importance of making patients feel more comfortable, in addition to resolving their physical conditions.
This concern for patients’ well-being has led to a high level of patient satisfaction. As a result, Dr. Kaiser has been rated by his patients as among the top 10% of the nation’s doctors, according to the 2014 Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey.
The survey covered aspects of patient interactions such as courtesy, keeping patients updated, caring about their concerns, and how much time the doctor spent with them.
