Patient-satisfaction in an outpatient vein surgery office: A comparison of English- and Spanish-speaking patients.

Conclusion Spanish-speaking patients are less satisfied with the care provided in a vein surgery office. Patients who communicated through an interpreter were less satisfied with the patient-provider relationship. In light of the growing diversity of the US population and the fact that patient-satisfaction is increasingly tied to reimbursement, additional research might identify potential areas of improvement for the surgeon, interpreter, and patient perspectives.
