Comments From Patients and Families

Medical staff leadership would like to acknowledge physicians for recently receiving positive comments from patients and families. These comments are only a brief sample of the many compliments our physicians receive regularly.

Dallas Cole, ACPNP, Pediatrics

“Dallas was wonderful and made our child feel so comfortable. No parent ever wants to anticipate another visit to the hospital; however, this was the best experience we have ever had in a health care setting. It was quick and comforting without feeling as if you were being rushed. Our child was scared to go to the hospital but was eased by how the hospital had so many beautiful butterflies to count. What a wonderful place.”

Rohan Kumthekar, MD, Pediatrics

“The doctor was very informative. Your place sees children all the time, but I only have one and he is my priority. The doctor calmed our fears and assured us my son is important to him also. The doctor explained in layman's terms so we could understand my son’s treatment.”

Jennifer Lee, MD, Pediatrics

“We had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Lee. She was so attentive and spent a long time getting to know my son to understand his symptoms and recommend a line of treatment. She was so personable and did an excellent job explaining what was going on in a way a teenager could understand. I have been singing her praises since we left and have told multiple people about her impressive level of care.”

Amy Manning, MD, Otolaryngology

“Everyone went above and beyond! We were able to get questions answered that we weren't even anticipating on our visit. Our visit aligned with a feeding clinic day, so we were able to accomplish so much more than just questions about my son’s ENT needs. We absolutely love our experiences at Nationwide Children’s! We couldn't be happier with the care that our son has received and the way everyone works together to make it happen. We highly recommend Nationwide Children’s to any family who needs high-quality care for their child.”

Kara Morris, DDS, Dentistry

“Dr. Morris has been outstanding. She somehow made scary situations fun for my son. She was quick with responses and ready to help after hours. Even when she wasn't on call, she made a great medical decision for our son by having his surgery sooner, which turned out great. She is one of a kind.”

Craig Smith, MD, Orthopedics

“Huge thank you to Dr. Craig Smith, who, after nearly 12 years of constant pain, gave my daughter her mobility and life back. We are so thankful for the staff at Nationwide Children's!”

Raymond Troy, MD, Psychiatry and Behavioral Health

“Dr. Troy is absolutely amazing! He has been such a godsend to our family! From our very first encounter many years ago, he has always had my child's best interest in mind. He's always explained everything to both of us and listened with a caring, compassionate heart! I speak very highly of him to anyone who will listen and will forever be grateful for the care he has provided to us both!”

Krysta Walker, MD, Pediatrics

“I truly can't say enough good things about our experience. When your child feels awful, timing and compassion mean everything, and this team absolutely delivered on both. I was incredibly impressed by how quickly we were seen, evaluated and treated. There was no long wait while my daughter was miserable, which, as a parent, you appreciate more than anything. The entire process felt efficient but never rushed. From the front desk to the clinical staff to the pediatrician, everyone was kind, attentive and thorough. They really listened, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure we understood what was going on and what to expect next. The level of care felt personal, not transactional. We walked out feeling confident in the plan and genuinely cared for. They truly went above and beyond; and I'm so grateful to have this level of care for my child.”
