  • What we liked most, besides her professionalism, is that the doctor is very humane; she puts herself in our parents' shoes and we feel she has a lot of empathy. We are very grateful to her and to all the staff.

  • She was welcoming and warm. One of the only providers who made my son smile! She was very thorough and reassuring and even kept lines of communication open for us if we need her in the future.

  • This doctor was absolutely wonderful! She reviewed the test results, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment in such detail. Allowed time for me to digest the information, understand it, and ask questions. Even reviewed anything I needed her to. The doctor never rushed and was worried if I had the time for her to discuss everything when usually the doctor's time is the concern. This doctor considered treatment so carefully as if it were for her own child. She even offered to rediscuss the treatment plan with my husband who could not be at this appointment at his availability. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!

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.
