Comments

  • Dr. Daley did a comprehensive exam of my son. She then spent a good amount of time explaining what was wrong (in a way my son really understood). She then helped him understand what the recovery time was going to be and got his buy in on the treatment plan.

  • Dr Daley has been great with my son on the multiple occasions we've seen her. He suffered from a stress fracture earlier this year and we just visited for a different injury (lat strain). The doctor and her team are thorough, attentive, answer any questions we have and are super easy to get ahold of. I was super impressed with how quickly Dr Daley communicated with me via email to provide info or answer questions. I would 10/10 recommend Dr Daley to family and friends. I feel so comfortable with my son in her care.

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.
