  • Dr. Krishnan is amazing! She is kind and actively listens to you. You can tell she really cares for you and your child. She asks questions about how your child is doing and how you are doing. She speaks directly to your child instead of just to the parent. Sometimes I feel like she is reading my mind by asking questions and providing information about my child that I had questions about that I wanted to ask in the appointment . I always leave with all my questions answered and feel my child and I are well cared for. Thank you, Dr. Krishnan!

  • She's always an amazing doctor.Talks to my children directly for answers and then includes me. That's the way it should be. They participate in their care. She's always so respectful of us and talks to us to find out what our goals or needs are. She is the BEST doctor and we will only see her. All of my girls (we have 3 of them) will see her as long as she is practicing. She remembers us and is so caring and kind.

  • I cannot say it enough how wonderful Dr. Krishnan is! She engaged directly with my child and not just me, she is a great communicator and kept me engaged in her assessment of my child. You can tell she really caree for your child by talking with them and knowing how to keep them distracted or calm during the examination. She really makes you and your child feel special and cared for, thank you Dr. Krishnan!!

  • Dr. Krishnan is the perfect pediatrician! She has perfected the difficult task of calming a worried parent with her relaxed nature and attitude, but also showing that she is on top of any issues and always takes your concerns seriously. Never hesitates to look further into something to ease your worries. She pushes me to be a better Mom (in a good way) and always makes my kids feel cared for and loved. I always leave our appointments feeling empowered. Forever grateful for you Dr K!

  • Dr.Krishnan is always the ultimate professional. She listens to your issue, answers questions, provides education and guidance. Always ensures we are comfortable with the plan in place before we leave. We have entrusted our 4 children in her care for the past 20 years. I will be so sad to leave when my last child ages out of the pediatrician. We are blessed to have Dr Krishnan care for our children!

  • She is an amazing doctor. So happy all 3 of my children can see her. She speaks to the child so they are the focus and included in the conversation . She listens to the parents and never tells you what or how to do anything. She never seems distracted or dismissive, she's fully invested in you while you're with her. She has the best bedside manner. Excellent doctor. We are so lucky to be her patients.

  • The Dr. LIstened to us first and typed everything I said, then went over each Item point by point. She gave us control of what we wanted to try!!! This was huge and restored our confidence in the situation. She even watched what she said to make sure my child wasn't fearful at all during the visit. I can't thank her enough for making what was a very stressful time into an appt that gave us confidence and control.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
