Dr. Patel is an exceptional doctor who makes my daughters feel safe, cared for and heard. She remembers all aspects of their medical history and needs and provides clear, detailed, and thoughtful responses not only to us the parents but to my daughters.

Dr. Patel is an excellent provider. She actually listens and has patience. I never feel like I'm being rushed or placated even though I know she's incredibly busy. She even called me to check in on my child. I wish I could find a provider for myself exactly like her, because she's a rare breed. Anymore I feel like most doctors are no different than someone working any 9-5, they just want to survive the day and get home. Dr. Patel truly cares for her patients and remembers them which is pretty remarkable! Whatever she's doing, it needs to be CHOP's blue print for success!

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.
