  • Dr. Weber took time to explain in detail all treatment options and ensure that both my son and I were comfortable with the information we received and all questions were thoroughly answered. He is highly knowledgeable in treating boys with DMD, professional, caring and patient. He is a good communicator and made my son feel comfortable. My son finds certain portions of the examination to be highly uncomfortable/embarrassing regardless of what doctor completes it but was more comfortable having Dr. Weber complete it.

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.
