  • Dr. Fried is very good at explaining things in a way a non medical professional can understand. He listens attentively to our questions and concerns. He listens to understand us not just respond.

  • Dr. Fried was really good with us during the visit, the appointment was not rushed, took time to listen and understand the issues, found time to explain the results and medication with us. Our 5-year-old really liked Dr. Fried. Even after the visit, when we needed to follow up with the Pharmacy Benefits Provider, the Dr. Fried spent 40 minutes with them over phone for getting us the medication, which was above and beyond our expectations. Overall, we are glad that we got Dr. Fried as our child's Doctor!

  • Dr. Fried was outstanding. Not only did he listen and answer our concerns, he was great at listening and processing what we were saying and then typing at the same time which I found pretty amazing. He was very thorough in the explanations and patient with our questions. We traveled a bit for this appointment but was so glad we got to meet with Dr. Fried. It was well worth it!!

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.
