He was very direct and approachable - making sure our son understood the current situation with his syndrome, explained things in a way he could understand, and emphasized the partnership between patient and provider.

  • At my child's doctor appointment, it was clear that the doctor genuinely cared and was thoroughly knowledgeable about my child's previous care. He had reviewed all past records and referenced specific details about my child's medical history, showing that he had taken the time to understand his unique needs. This allowed him to provide personalized advice and make informed decisions about the next steps in treatment. His deep understanding of my child's medical background, combined with his compassionate approach, made the experience both reassuring and positive.

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.
