  • Dr. Montero is the best pediatrician NY children have ever seen. Her explanations, proactive advice, and ease in communicating with children and parents give me confidence in making important decisions about my children. She's extremely knowledgeable, and she knows how to translate her ideas with compassion and respect for children and parents.

  • Dr. Montero understands how to examine a child with compassion and care. My children have never been more at ease with a doctor, and I have never felt like a doctor gave such good advice. She is efficient, but thorough and kind. She has so much knowledge that I feel my children are being given the best of care.

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.
