  • Dr. Ewig has such great bedside manner. He cares about helping our son and answers any questions we have. He really does a great job of creating a safe and educated discussion where we can plan for my son's health based off of his past experiences. He by far has the best approach to including my toddler during the visit and making him feel at ease. My toddler really felt comfortable and opened up at his appointment. I can always count on dr Ewig to be able to interact with my toddler that makes going to the doctors a positive experience.

  • Excellent care provided by doctor. He is warm, speaks in a calm manner, explains everything and creates the treatment plan in a collaborative manner. I travel from NJ just to see him because I trust him. He is not only very knowledgeable but also listens and explains things in a way that helps ease my worries.

  • Very clear that Dr. Ewig & the nurse both read up on my son's chart to see the other health issues he has been dealing with so far this year that are completely unrelated to pulmonolgy. It's comforting to know they take the extra time and care so much!

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.
