  • Dr. Kung is amazing! She was able to engage with my daughter without causing her to cry in fear. Did not know that was even possible. She truly is incredible with kids and her expertise and experience shows in the decision making process we experienced with her. Very grateful for her care and that she is able to work with us to make living with an allergy a bit less intense/traumatic. Thank you so much Dr. Kung!!!

  • Dr Kung and her fellow were very thorough and patient when gathering my daughter's allergy history. They asked multiple questions to get a clear picture to address my daughters potential egg allergy. I was very pleased with their recommendations, ease of testing performed during our visit, and PFEs given after our visit.

  • Both of my sons see Dr. Kung and we recommend her (and CHOP) to everyone. We have had an incredible experience with such a scary set of circumstances. The boys have made great gains under the guidance of Dr. Kung. I feel like Dr. Kung listens to my ideas, concerns, and plans to push them with exposures.

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.
