Comments

  • Dr. Danley is an awesome physician. She is patient and kind and takes the time to explain everything for the families. She is thoughtful in her communication with my son who is on the spectrum. She ask for consent when touching giving him advocacy over his body. She never rushed through the appointment no matter how many questions I may ask. Dr. Danley is always available via email and responds thoughtful and fully. We treasure her as our son's pediatrician.

  • Dr Daley was the best thing that happened to us. She listens she was concerned she paid attention to every word that I said she understood what I was going through As a caretaker and a grandmother for the needs of my grandchild she understood that her problem had went beyond its time and she should have been admitted she made sure that she reached out to the hospital with her concerns for them to help me to help my grandchild and which in turn happened once we went back to the emergency room I cannot thank her enough for understanding and sharing a concerns that I had and relaying them in a way where people were now listening to what I had to say I appreciate her so much it needs to be more doctors like her out here in the world that listen that are concerned that understand and that are willing to help you

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.
