  • Dr. P listened attentively and ensured she understood the issue by asking my daughter through questions. She was sensitive to the needs of a developing pre-adolescent girl which made us both feel super confident and comfortable. Her reassurance after her assessment and recommendations seemed reasonable and were accurate.

  • Dr. Pallegadara is one of the best doctors I've ever seen. She's patient and thoughtful and she answers every question thoroughly. I've already recommended her to several neighbors and friends. After we met her the first time, my husband and I knew she would be our child's preferred provider from now on. If she ever leaves the practice, it is incredibly likely we will follow.

  • Dr. P is the BEST She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and great with young children. She is so patient and spends enough time with us, answering our questions and addressing our concerns, even though we were added onto her schedule last minute. We really appreciate Dr. P's care for both of our children. She makes CHOP look good.

  • She was great. With my son becoming a young man (16) she made sure to direct comments and ask him questions directly as well as making sure I was also informed and had time for questions.

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.
