Congratulations to our FY24 Q3 Diamond Doc Award Winners
170 UC Davis Health physicians were awarded the Diamond Doc Award for their patient care in the third quarter of FY24. The award celebrates physicians who demonstrated careful listening, clear explanations, and respectful partnerships by receiving 90th percentile or higher scores on patient surveys.
“I am honored that 170 UC Davis Health physicians earned our Diamond Doc Award this quarter,” said interim chief medical officer Joseph Galante, M.D. “The award is based on our patients’ experiences, and it reflects our physicians' unwavering dedication to providing exceptional care. Congratulations to our Diamond Docs on this well-deserved recognition!”
There will be an event in the fall to celebrate all the physicians who receive a Diamond Doc Award throughout the year. We look forward to honoring our Diamond Docs and the excellent care they give to our patients.
