Dr Bonita is so informative and I'm grateful for her knowledge with helping my infant take her formula as well. Her clear advice, genuine concern, and just happy demeanor are why we continue to go to CHOP. I appreciate how she listens to our concerns and asks lots of questions to figure out a solution and what's wrong with our baby. She helped us discover our baby had acid reflux when we just thought she was fussy.

We love Dr Bonita. She definitely is listening to me (as a parent) - reviews concerns, options for care, and can relate because she has children of similar ages. And she makes my teen feel comfortable (hard to do!) I feel very confident with her recommendations.

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.
