Each year, we gather insights from thousands of patients regarding their experiences with our healthcare providers through an extensive third-party patient experience survey. We are thrilled to celebrate the exceptional clinicians at Reliant Medical Group who have received the Patient Choice Award.

These distinguished healthcare professionals achieved this recognition thanks to the feedback from those who matter most, our patients. Each award recipient achieved a remarkable rating of 95% or higher on the question about the “likelihood to recommend provider” in the surveys.

This accolade signifies more than just a numerical rating; it reflects the deep compassion, dedication, and quality of care that characterize our daily practice.

Join us in honoring the winners of the 2026 awards!
