  • The highest compliment I can give to Dr. Gawthrop is that my daughter walked out of her appointment and said, "I like her. I'm glad she's my doctor." Dr. Gawthrop should know that.

  • Dr. Gawthrop never rushes during our appointment. I really appreciate that she listens to my concerns but talks to me and then my daughter. The teen years are very hard to navigate and I'm very appreciative that she treats my daughter with empathy, care but more importantly that she cares and listens to my daughters concerns with never talking down or blowing things over. Thank you so much Dr Gawthrop.

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.
