Little or no researches have been conducted related to outpatient according to researcher knowledge. Most of researches concentrate on inpatient view about health care quality. 140 questionnaire were distributed for this purpose and questionnaire with 20 statements in four dimensions developed by (Choi et al; 2005) was adapted with some modifications and only 122 questionnaire were valid and used for analysis.
