Dr. Ahr is hands down the best pediatrician. He is always happy to see our family and engaged my son in conversations about his health and his favorite things. He was really excited to be included in the questions and it made him feel like a big kid! Dr. Ahr has a tremendous amount of respect for children and adults. He is such a wonderful asset to his profession.

He was interested in seeing pictures of my child's rash (even though at time of apppointment it looked fairly mild) and expressed concern that the evolution of the rash was actually a bacterial infection. He was great!

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.
