  • Dr. Re was so helpful. He spoke, he was like an encyclopedia in all the best ways. He spoke so beautifully to my child and to me and he gave us such comfort and we're feeling so much better after seeing him and would recommend him 10 out of 10 to anyone who needs his care. Thank you so much.

  • My daughter came in with a previous concussion, was very extremely nervous about going to see this doctor, or any doctor actually, and she loved him. He was great, explained everything, great bedside manner, made her feel incredibly comfortable as well as my wife, her mother. And we are very happy, would highly recommend this gentleman. Thank you.

  • The provider was very thorough, very educated, and was like really just double-checking everything that the ladies that came in before him did. And he just was very communicative and very professional and very friendly as well.

  • Yes, hi. My son had an ortho appointment and the doctor was very, very informative, very patient, took out the time to actually explain to my 14-year-old things that he needed to do to keep his body healthy and free of injury. So we were very satisfied with our visit with this physician. Thank you.

  • He was absolutely great and detailed and descriptive. It was the type of care I was looking for. He did not treat us like numbers. He listened and then broke everything down to us in a level both my son and I could understand. I was so impressed with him. He made my son feel comfortable.

  • Dr. Re is wonderful. He connected easily with our daughter and communicated information in a way that she could understand. He answered my questions and hers. It's a special gift to be able to speak in a way that draws in both a parent and a child, but every one of our CHOP experiences has been this way. We're so grateful - of course for the unparalleled medical care you provide, but also for the humanity of each practitioner. Thank you, truly. You are a blessing to our family and to so many.

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.
