Dr. Gregory G. Caronis, MD Wins Prestigious Vitals On-Time Award

Award Recognizes Doctors Who Provide Prompt and Effective Care Based on Patient Feedback

Libertyville, IL — March 26, 2015 — Vitals, a leader in providing online transparency tools and data that help consumers find top doctors and make informed decisions about their medical care, is pleased to announce that

Dr. Gregory G. Caronis, MD has won a 2014 Vitals On-Time Award.

Each year, Vitals receives millions of patient-reported ratings on various components of their doctor’s care, including how long a patient waits to see the doctor.

Vitals On-Time Award recognizes doctors who manage their practice effectively and efficiently.

“No one wants to wait long when they’re sick,” said Mitch Rothschild, CEO of Vitals. “As more people turn to online physician-rating sites to find a doctor, wait time is an increasingly important factor that impacts their choice,

and ultimately their relationship with their physician.”

In fact, 10 percent of people in a recent Vitals study said long waits would be reason enough to find a new doctor. The national average wait time to see a physician is over 20 minutes. Yet, doctors who won Vitals On-Time Award had an average of only 11 minutes. In addition, Vitals On-Time Award winners must have an overall patient rating of at least 3.0 or higher (out of 4.0). Winning doctors must also have a medical license in good standing with no sanctions.

An icon denoting award will be prominently displayed on your Vitals profile, signaling to new patients that your office is professional and punctual. Annually, more than 100 million people search for doctors on our sites.
