  • Dr. Fish was just amazing. She asked so many questions and was genuinely interested, like she put together a puzzle piece. She also helped us understand his eating habits more. My son is a pre-teen and can be surly, but she got him to smile and open up. And made a fantastic plan. That we can all understand and follow her treatment

  • Dr Fish is amazing, she deals with a stubborn teenager with complete ease, never talks down to him, understands his reluctance to take meds but takes the time to explain why these meds will help him. Also took the time to write a note for school to help him get what he needs there. He is following her recommendations because she took the time he needed to talk with him.

  • Dr. Fish immediately sought to connect with our child. She was patient with our child as she worked to explain her symptoms and concerns. She explained what her assessment of the situation was and offered options for updating our child's treatment plan.

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.
