I have been going to Dr Turtel for 21 years now, he has done surgery on me twice, once when I was 9 months old and another when I was around 6 (my eyes were really curved, I have infantile esotropia) I feel so comfortable with him. For cosmetic reasons I have been going back and forth between getting surgery again or not to fix my eye. Not once has he made me feel like I NEED the surgery. He never pushed me towards it and offered me extra visits to discuss y surgery when I was considering it. I am getting the surgery this we... read more
Been to the Little Silver office several times with my toddler. The staff is not friendly, the staff is not good with children. They always look miserable, they talk about other patients where we can hear from waiting room, if you have questions…forget it. The staff has terrible attitudes, like you should already know what their response will be. If you hate being there, find a new job. I’ve never seen anybody give them a hard time, but waiting 2-3 hours, I’ve watched them be rude to patient after patient. The staff and Turt... read more
Dr Turtel is the best of the best! My son ended up at wills eye hospital in Philly after dr Turtel spotted COATS disease at a very early stage. He was not having any issues and was just seeing DR. Turtel for a routine eye exam. The world renowned specialist at wills eye hospital said Turtel saved his vision and she has never seen an Opthamologist catch it so early.
I needed to have eye surgery for my daughter for Infant Strabismus and was initially very nervous. However, Dr. Turtel explained everything really thoroughly and relieved a lot of my worries. It has now been a month and half after the surgery and it went great! She recovered very easily and her eyes look perfect. He is a very good surgeon.
My daughter was born cross fixated in both eyes. My pediatrician recommended Dr. Turtel and we could not have been happier. He was extremely caring with our family. He explained everything in simple terms and let us know if we were looking for a "quicker" fix he could recommend someone else but based on his experience best to wait till she was a year old to undergo surgery as sometimes things could change on their own over time. We saw him frequently in the year leading up to her surgery. He made us feel calm and assured us ... read more
Dr. Turtel performed double eye surgery on my twelve-year-old daughter and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was so good with her and made her so comfortable. He also gave me his cellphone number after the surgery and checked in with me for days afterwards to make sure she was doing OK and answering all questions I had which was extremely helpful. My mind was at such ease knowing he was just a call away over the weekend after surgery. He is very caring and I would highly recommend him.
Dr. Turtle is phenomenal! My daughter has been seeing him since was 3, she is now 9. He always makes her laugh and is very patient and kind. He goes out of his way to explain everything as he completes the exam. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for pediatric ophthalmologist.
My daughter has been coming here every 6 months since she was 3. It has always been a great experience, she loves her appointments ("he does magic tricks!!"). She is 6 now and when I told her she had an appointment she was out of her mind excited for 2 days to get to go. Everyone is very nice and extremely helpful.
Excellent Dr and staff. Treated my son with caring and patience. He had to have surgery for strabismus. Nerve racking for both my 10 year old and myself. However, Dr. Turtel was there to answer every question we were so pleased with the results.
