CHOP Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care - Raymond G. Perelman Campus

We’ve been going to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia allergy department for a few years now with my daughter, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received. The doctors and specialists are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. We’ve completed several food challenges and follow-up appointments, and each step was handled with such professionalism and reassurance. I’m especially grateful that my daughter successfully passed multiple full challenges — it gives me real peace of mind being able to safely introduce those foods into her diet. Having such high-quality doctors caring for my child has made all the difference for our family. I would highly recommend this department to any parent looking for expert allergy care.

Hope lives here! This is an amazing outpatient center, and the care that they offer is unlike anywhere else. I go here for checkups occasionally, and the doctors and nurses are amazing! They absolutely saved my life.

Visit the Exercise Stress Test part. Pleasant staff. Literally was there for no more than 45 to 60 minutes. My only issue was that I am from New Jersey and the roads in Philadelphia are different from what I am used to. Very confusing how to enter the building. But I was able to ask 2 parking attendants where I was going.🙏🏾 Now once we enter the parking garage is where it really gets hectic!. We drove for 30 minutes in the garage trying to find a place to park. The best parking was for the disabled and they have plenty of parking!❤️ Once we parked then it was much easier. The appointment was for 10am, check in was for 9:30 but due to limited parking we didn't get to the floor til 9:40. But we made it. A good point is to make sure you grab your ticket when entering to park and get it stamped by the machine they have at check-in so you aren't charged a lot. Ours was $4.00 for 60 minutes inside.

Having the most ridiculous experience trying to get my just diagnosed Type 1 diabetes child into CHOP's diabetes and endocrine practice (as existing CHOP patients). At the time of diagnosis, our Chop PCP sent us to Nemours ER b/c it was the closest to our location at the time (he was only seen as inpatient and not as an established patient). Now CHOP refuses to see us, saying that we selected Nemours. We went to the ER, we are Chop patients. I called, emailed, the head of our Chop practice submitted an urgent referral, she also called Chop endocrine docs to get us in. No one has responded or called back, we get some vague email stating we are transfers? He was just diagnosed a few days ago. This is a nightmare and they do not care about my son's well being. A woman just called (the coordinator) and argued with me for 10 minutes trying to say my son is a transfer and refusing to give him an appointemnt. She then hung up on me b/c she didn't want to hear anything I had to say that didn't conform to their "process". CHOP should be ashamed of themselves.

We have been here far too many times than we'd care for, so we definitely appreciate the ease of parking and access to get to appointments quickly. Everyone from the lobby, security to the medical teams are nothing but courteous and professional. They do everything so your focus remains on your child. There are wait times to be expected depending on the number of appointments and the time scheduled. We suggest always taking early spots, but be wary of traffic getting in.

I visited Burger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care for an EKG test. The appointment was scheduled over the phone and when we visited, we were attended on time. The test was quick and the doctor was very professional. Parking: Please look for the sign board that says "PARKING B BUERGER". Also don't forget to take the parking ticket with you to the lobby where they will scan your parking ticket to pay less for the parking.

We first visited Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) about 6 years ago when my son's severe Crohn's disease had exhausted all treatment options at UPMC in Pittsburgh. Dr. Judith Kelsen at CHOP put him on a new treatment that dramatically improved his quality of life. Thanks to CHOP, he now leads a normal, functioning life. The experience at CHOP was exceptional, from the highly skilled doctors to the effortless process of parking, registration, and treatment. I highly recommend CHOP for consultations or second opinions on medical issues.

The Chop (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) is renowned for its exceptional care for children in the region. The hospital boasts a team of dedicated doctors and nurses who provide not only top-notch medical treatment but also exhibit a high level of compassion and attentiveness toward every patient they serve. Their commitment to providing the best possible care for children sets a standard in pediatric healthcare.

Dr. Devlin We are beyond grateful for the outstanding care our daughter received from Dr. Devlin. From the very beginning, he showed not only incredible skill but also genuine compassion. He checked in on our daughter every chance he got, always making sure we felt informed and reassured. His calm, caring nature put us at ease during such a stressful time, and his dedication to her recovery was evident every step of the way. The surgery went perfectly, and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Devlin is truly an exceptional doctor, and we feel so fortunate to have had him caring for our daughter. Dr. Devlin, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave our daughter. Your kindness, attentiveness, and excellent work with her surgery mean the world to us. You're the BEST! Mila's Parents, Devyn & James

My daughter went to see the allergist yesterday. I love that the hospital is colorful. After check in at the main building I was walked to the Buerger building. It was my first time ever being in CHOP. She's been coughing at night and sneezing at wake up almost everyday. Her primary doc couldn't find any allergies from a blood test (needed to know what exactly you wanted to test). The allergist did a more broad skin test. To my surprise nothing positive. She even did a asthma test and again nothing. What is a problem are her tonsils and adenoids. I knew they were large but she showed me where the back of my daughters nose canal was narrow because of her adenoids. We'll do a trial period for steroids but I think surgery will be the answer, since she hasn't grown into them by now and this is persistent.

CHOP's recent really big expansion. Construction not yet completed on all floors, but what does exist is state of the art and impressive. Constructed by Turner construction. Apparently a $450 million construction job. They have received so far ~$100 million in donations, including $50 million from the Buerger Family (hence the name). A fantastic building and given CHOP a great medical center. Definitely worth stopping by just to see the walkway in the lobby - a one of a kind spiraling lobby ramp - known as the Leonard B. Kahn Walkway ($2 million). Also of interest - they dug 70 ft down to make way for a 1,500-car parking garage (one of the largest excavations of its kind in the city). Also found this additional information from another website - "During the nine-month excavation, crews hauled out roughly 300,000 cubic yards of rock. Most of the rock went to the Philadelphia International Airport and was crushed for use on a runway project." and finally, here's some additional information from the website: The facility consists of a 700,000-square-foot building and five stories of parking below, with the ability to add an additional 175,000 square feet in the future. The building was designed with input from hundreds of families and clinicians.
