  • Dr. Alvarado was very kind in listening to my list of concerns at my 1 year well visit. He did not make me feel dumb for asking questions. He heard my concerns and even referred me to a specialist for an ongoing concern. For any other concern, he was very reassuring and I felt confident in the care my son received.

  • In all of my visits with Dr. Alvarado, I always feel so supported and never rushed. In my previous experiences with other physicians, they have made me felt rushed and as if they were just trying to get through the appointment to see another patient. Dr. Alvarado never makes me feel like I have any silly questions, and takes his time in answering my questions by also providing background on the situation and her professional opinion.

  • Did not have to discuss specialist doctors for this visit. Dr Alvarado was amazing at this visit. He ruled out possible causes and then with appropriate Q&As with my son, he was able to figure out what happened to cause son's pain. I was very happy with the write up provided in the summary as well because it helped to clearly inform me and my son's dad what the diagnosis was and why and what to until son was feeling better.

  • Dr. Alvarado is a breath of fresh air. He listened to my concerns and had practical solutions for them. I also love that he actually had my kid do certain tasks, like writing and pointing out colors and shapes. I never felt rushed at all in the appointment.

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.
