  • Amazing doctor! My son was scared. Dr. Strassman came in and started playing cars with him. My son was put at ease and was happy to be there. The extra time he took to calm my son down makes him one of the best doctors!

  • Dr Strassman is a wonderful peds physician who takes the time to listen to the child/guardian during appt. Our child is old enough to speak up and answer questions and his dialogue with our child is age-appropriate and he does not talk down or ignore what the child has to say during the appt. Dr Strassman listens to our concerns as parents and communicates openly about medical opinion(s) regarding our questions related to the health of our child.

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.
