Patient Reviews
Oct 05, 2022
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 week and wouldn't trust anyone else to do it.
