  • Dr. Jolley continues to be an important part of the "village" we have to raise our daughter. Her compassion, insight, and care have had an incredibly positive impact on our family. We trust her deeply. She is an outstanding pediatrician. Beyond what she offers our daughter, she has guided my husband and I through the many ups and downs of parenthood with thoughtful counseling and understanding.

  • This was the first time that we met Dr. Jolly. She apologized profusely for the lateness, although I don't believe it was her fault. I felt that she gave my son excellent advice and was very straightforward with the information she shared with him but she did it with respect and kindness. That is hard to do sometimes when you're dealing with teenagers, and I really was impressed, I would absolutely recommend anyone to see her again

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.
