  • Dr. K Brandstadter, MD Was very patient and kind to my daughter and I. I had many questions as a new parent and she was very thorough and provided wonderful handouts for me to use as a guide at home. I was very pleased with her experience, professionalism and her patience.The best part about the visit was her unique personality and ability to comfort my child with tummy problems. My daughter is very scared of the doctors and Dr. K Brandstadter, MD used humor to get my daughter to laugh and be part of the exam. She made my daughter feel safe, comfortable and at ease. Her tricks working with children is a direct result of her phenomenal passion and love as a pediatrician.

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.
