  • 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.

  • Dr. Kung is the most prepared provider we have ever seen. She arrives to the appointment having thoroughly reviewed my child's history, and she is prepared to discuss and strategize. Dr. Kung is exceptionally skilled in her ability to hear a family's concerns and empathize, while utilizing professional judgment and strategic insight.

  • Loved our experience in Glen Mills! Will definitely be back to this office for our appts in the future. Dr. Kung was attentive and listened to my concerns about my daughters asthma & flare plan & worked to create a simpler / more effective plan. Highly recommend! I left the visit feeling well informed & that my daughter was receiving the highest level of care.

  • Earnestly one of the best medical experiences we've ever had. Dr. Shiang-ju Kung was kind, patient, informative, funny, playful, warm, and very generous with her time and expertise -- taking the time to answer all of questions and concerns. We were so nervous about allergy testing, but we left feeling informed, confident, and hopeful. We're so grateful!

  • The best doctor my daughter has seen in her 3 years of life- and we have seen many specialists for various reasons. Doctor was thorough, took her time, had reviewed my daughters entire medical history prior to the appointment and made notes on her print out. She genuinely cared and wanted to help, as well as offered tips for the treatment in my daughters newly diagnosed asthma that no other provider has done. I.e. Explained to clean out her inhaler spacer and have my daughter take a sip of water after inhaler to prevent thrush. Even the hospital did not do so. We need more docs like her!!!

  • Dr. Kung went above and beyond! She proactively called me to get son scheduled (my other son was already scheduled with her), and helped prepare us for our future OIT appointment so that we would have all the information we needed prior. She is patient, thorough, and thoughtful. Truly a fantastic physician!

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.
