  • The provider, Krysten, was very clear, very patient, listening to us as this was our first visit with CHOP, and she was very efficient. She went through both my kids' information requirements, previous medical history, and went through all of the requirements and referrals that our kids would need. and completed them timely, followed up, and provided sufficient information that was clear and consistent.

  • All three of my kids have been seeing Krysten Varano for years and she really is the best. She listens to everything and takes my concerns and their concerns into consideration. She's also great about following up with everything and I feel very comfortable with her.

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.
