Physician Recognition

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.

Julie Aldrich, MD, Pediatrics
“The physician, Dr. Julie Aldrich, listened to all the history and was extremely thorough. She explained all the test results and plan of care to us thoroughly and answered all our questions. While it's always stressful to go through these tests, we had a very good experience and are thankful for Nationwide Children’s services.”

Rohan Henry, MD, MS, Pediatrics
“Dr. Henry is very approachable, listened to our input and took his time during our visit. He was thorough and we appreciated his follow up regarding lab work after the appointment.”

Mahmoud Kallash, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Kallash and the staff there are awesome! He shows compassion and shares his expertise and knowledge in our appointments. It's like he already has a game plan before seeing my son. He and the office staff always have a smile on their face even before I start making jokes. And I just recently switched my daughter to him. I recommend Dr. Kallash to anyone with a child that needs help.”

Marc Leder, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Marc was awesome. We have seen him a of couple times and he is always great. We were in right at closing, and I didn't feel like he rushed through his exam or anything. On the contrary, he was showing my daughter a picture of a fish that had washed ashore. It was very cool.”

Christopher Miller, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Miller is fantastic! He is so patient, shows how much he cares, and is wonderful with my son! I highly recommend him!”

Nathan Rosenberg, MD, Pediatrics
“Dr. Rosenberg is absolutely wonderful - he makes your visit feel like you are his only patient of the day and gives you 100% of his attention.”

Ammar Shaikhouni, MD, PhD, Pediatric Neurosurgery
“Dr. Shaikhouni took the time to answer any questions we had and did so with an exceptionally personal touch. We didn't feel rushed in any way whatsoever, and he showed genuine care for my daughter. Would highly recommend Dr. Shaikhouni and Nationwide Children’s Neurology to everyone!”

Patrick Walz, MD, FAAP, Otolaryngology

“Dr. Walz is incredible. He had a wonderful bedside manner and was so kind to our daughter. He eased her fears about having ear tubes removed, explained the process, and thanked her for trusting him. I was so impressed and appreciative that he treated her, a kid, with such compassion and humanity. All doctors should strive to be like that.”
