  • Dr Baner was amazing ! She listens to all of my nephews concerns as well as mine. I had many questions and she took over an hour Making sure all of them were answered and Everything was understood by the both of us before we left the office. She gave an honest assessment and not quick to use medicine. She offered Alternatives as a first course of action . We left with a list of referrals and then a follow up appointment for six months. I could not ask for a better visit. Dr. Baner was very compassionate And took the time to understand the last 16 years of the child's life. I cannot say enough about her.

  • My daughter's exact words upon leaving the appointment with Dr. Baner were, "That was the first time I felt like a doctor has actually listened to me." We were thrilled with the amount of time and thorough care Dr. Baner gave to my daughter. We cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience we had.

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.
