Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- October 24, 2022 He is such an amazing doctor. Both my children like and trust him. My son has autism and is very wary about doctors but with Kidder he will do pretty much anything that he asks. It is so great to have such a nice and caring pediatrician for my children that I completely trust his opinion.
- October 11, 2022 Dr Kidder Always listens to us he respects our decisions and tries to help however possible.
- September 18, 2022 GREAT Dr
- September 14, 2022 Dr. Kidder clearly knows a lot; he comes off very educated (as to be expected). However, he talks to you like a peer! It’s very clear he has calmed many first time moms with newborns (guilty here!) I never felt like any of my questions were stupid, and he made it clear that they have a 24/hr phone service and he would prefer I call if I’m unsure about something than to worry. He definitely has amazing bedside manners!
- August 16, 2022 He was awesome and very respectfull.
- July 23, 2022 I am so happy to have Dr. Kidder as my children's Dr. He is very caring, specific. Knowledgeable and always careful about the issues presented
- July 6, 2022 Always a pleasure to see Dr Kidder. Always prompt. Listens to our concerns follows up about previously discussed issues from past visits.
- June 29, 2022 Dr. Kidder has been a wonderful provider for my children. He always can squeeze us in. He does not rush the appointment. He listens and makes great suggestions. My kids all love him.
- May 25, 2022 Dr. Kidder is the best doctor. I highly recommend him and this clinic for both my children have been coming here for long time.
- May 19, 2022 Phenomenal provider! He understands what the patient and the parents are going through, especially with ADHD/ODD. My son has seen him for many years! We prefer him over any other provider! He actually takes the time to listen, contemplate on what he has heard and then answer the questions or give his opinion!
- May 17, 2022 Very informative and professional. Addresses any concerns you may have as well as informs you of things parents frequently worry about or question. You can definitely tell he cares about children and loves what he does! Some people are meant to work with children, he is one of those people!

- April 21, 2022 Best dr I have ever seen

- February 24, 2022 Dr. Kidder is amazing. He listens and explains what he's doing. My children love seeing him. His demeanor is perfect for the pediatric setting!
- February 23, 2022 We love him so much! My son doesn’t open up to just anybody and he actually speaks to Dr. Kidder and his nurses not too much to the other staff lol but to me that’s amazing!!
- February 23, 2022 Great doctor!
- January 30, 2022 Dr Kidder sees 4 of my children and I can say that he adapts to each one different personalities. My daughter is 14 and is becoming a woman. I was going to switch doctors to make her more comfortable with a woman doctor and she refused because she absolutely loves his personality. The perfect pediatrician.
- January 14, 2022 He has a good bedside manner with teens
