  • She was wonderful with my 2 small children. She made sure they weren't scared and did everything to a stuffed animal first so the kids could see. She was so patient and kind with them.

  • This was the first time we saw this provider at this office. She took extra time to review my daughters very medically complex history. I'm very appreciative of how knowledgeable she was upon meeting us for the first time.

  • We are extremely happy with the care our son is provided from the doctor. They always give us plenty of time to ask questions and are very thorough with their answers. The doctor won't let us leave until we understand the treatment and information gone over in the visit. We are also told we can contact them at any time after the visit with further questions.

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.
