    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

    • August 20, 2023 Have been very pleased with Lex Pediatrics. The doctors and nurses here love what they r doing. A pleasure to always visit. Very kind and clear diagnosis from doctor and he takes time to listen and u never feel rushed in and out. Love Dr Kidder!
    • July 24, 2023 Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist (and all of their doctors) need to join the Clear Pricing Project with the State Blue Cross Blue Shield to allowed the patients to save money on co-pays for our families. Dr. Kidder and the staff at the facility are fantastic.
    • July 4, 2023 Dr. Kidder always provides excellent care for my child. He is knowledgeable, professional and caring.
    • June 27, 2023 Dr. Kidder is amazing and I am beyond greatful he is my sons provider. He has always listens and answers all my concerns
    • June 1, 2023 Excellent doctor. I have been completely satisfied with him!
    • April 16, 2023 Dr Kidder is great he listens and talks to my son on his level ..now a teenager and u never feel rushed he treats u with respect and that he has time for u before moving to next patient. Always has time for us.
    • March 30, 2023 Drkodder is amazing. He has listened to my concerns about my son. He has given me the necessary referrals I have needed and approved him to start much need therapy. He listens really well and even asks me as a mother how I am doing and if there is anything I need support or help wise. I don't believe another Dr would have listened to my concerns regarding my son's health conditions. I am very glad he has helped me get all the early intervention I need at this point and assured me so.e of the delays he has does not automatically .Ean he has a second condition I am worried about. I would recommend anyone in Lexington with a baby or child to come see Dr kidder.
    • March 29, 2023 Dr. Kidder is always caring and truly listens to our concerns. It is nice to have a provider you can trust and who seems to really care about the patients and parents. Thank you.
    • February 26, 2023 Dr Kidder is thorough, friendly and companionate every time we come in for our medical needs. He listens, asks questions and is very knowledgeable in his practice. He is a doctor we feel confident has our health and wellbeing as his first priority.
    • January 5, 2023 Lord I mentioned in a separate question. He remembers us every time follows up with previous issues and that means the world to us.
    • December 29, 2022 He is a great doctor very patient and cares about his patients
    • December 21, 2022 Very friendly and accommodating. Listens to both the patient and the parent and shows concern.
    • November 30, 2022 Always so friendly and speaks in a way that shows he truly cares about the children
    • November 27, 2022 Our kids love Dr Kidder.
    • 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!
