  • The doctor was very thorough and came up with a plan. What stood out most was her mannerisms with my daughter when she examined her. My daughter is 3 and she explained to my daughter what she was going to do and asked if it was ok. I also really appreciate the follow up plan and check ins to ensure the plan is working.

  • Dr. Nema was thoughtful, kind, and intelligent. She understood how to interact with my 16 year old son in a way that made him feel comfortable and open to talking (not an easy feat with a teenage boy!). She was impressive from start to finish. We have a great plan in place with clear instructions and follow up in place. Dr. Nema gave practical pearls that made sense to my son and I. We are grateful for her insight, expertise, and care.

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.
