  • This was the first time we'd seen Dr. Chu for a well visit. As a parent, I absolutely loved how she explained each part of the exam to my son. I also liked that she talked to HIM and not me since she was examining HIS body. She narrated the whole exam, and gave him an overall description of how the exam would go before she even started. She was kind, personable, and very thorough.

  • I loved working with the provider. She was extremely kind, patient, explained everything that, explained all of my questions about what my son was going through, even answered questions not related to what we were there for. My son had special needs and she went above and beyond. So did her medical assistant and everybody on the team. It was wonderful to meet this doctor for the first time and she did a great job. I really, I actually asked her if I could come back and see her again because I loved our experience so much.

  • Dr. Chu is a great pediatrician. Not only does she know a lot, but she also cares. She always takes time to listen, ask questions, and I trust her. I will continue to schedule appointments with Dr. Chu. She sees a lot of patients but always makes us feel like we are important.

  • Dr. Chu was absolutely fantastic with my 13 year old daughter. We scheduled this appointment looking for a doctor in the practice who would make her feel comfortable. Dr. Chu exceeded our expectations! She was friendly, polite, respectful and engaging my daughter in casual conversation about her interests and concerns in a way that made my daughter feel very safe and cared for.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The patient experience rating is an average of all responses to the care provider-related questions from surveys submitted by patient families and verified by our survey partner National Research Corporation (NRC Health), an independent company that specializes in patient experience. 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 using percent positive scoring. Percent positive is the percentage of respondents who answered with the most desirable response. We are committed to transparency and sharing the voices of our patients and families. Comments are reviewed before posting to ensure accuracy, privacy, and relevance. To provide meaningful feedback, comments are displayed on provider profiles once a sufficient number have been received. All feedback is also shared internally to support learning, recognition, and continuous improvement. The comments reflect the experiences and perspectives of the patients and families who submitted them. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
