  • Dr.Held and our nurse were so kind and understanding. My son was terrified of being there, crying and screaming, but they were understanding and helpful. Dr. Held is very sweet and I hope my son will be more comfortable going there soon.

  • Dr Held could not have been the more perfect doctor for my daughter. She spoke to her with both kindness, compassion and tough love that my daughter needs. She is so knowledgeable and knew how to get to the point with my daughter. She's amazing. Having known her for several years with my older children was so happy it was Dr Held we were seeing that day.

  • Dr. Held was absolutely the best pediatrician ever! She made my pre-teen daughter feel so comfortable with all of the changes she is going through. She was extremely thorough and did a full physical and kept stopping to make sure we understood what she was doing and why. I've never had a doctor that was so upbeat, friendly, and knowledgeable before. Dr. Held was an angel and we are so glad we made the leap from our old office.

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.
