Richard Hertle's Online Review Report Card

Hi Sir, I am from Hyderabad, INDIA. Any plan to visit India to treat children suffering from Nystagmus ? I knew, you visited INDIA in 2005 for the same.

I brought my four-year-old daughter to see him, I was very nervous because she’s going cross eyed in both eyes. However he made everything so much better, he is the nicest Doctor I’ve ever met in my life. He was so very kind, so great with my daughter. He really lifted our moods and made everything better.

Dr Hertle and his staff are wonderful with my daughter before and after her surgery ♥️♥️♥️

Dr. Hertle was exceptionally skilled in operating on my Daughter. He was informative, considerate of our lack of knowledge and thorough in his explanations about the upcoming surgery.Before the operation he took the time and again allocated a few moments for our questions and concerns. He listened. We felt at ease.I couldn’t have asked for a better staff to assist in our appointments and our assessments.This office and Physician are top notch.

I started seeing the Dr. 2 years ago ... at age 56. I have multiple sclerosis which has triggered nystagmus ... such a hard thing to deal with but I was blessed when Dr. Hertle took me on as a patient. The entire staff is fantastic!

My son, John Meehan went to see Dr. Hertle when he was only one and he is now 27 years old. He had a severe nystagmus and a terrible head tilt. I worried he would never be able to drive or play sports. I had been to Wills Eye, John had two operations and nothing was helping. Someone then said to me “you need to go see this young doctor at children’s hospital in Philadelphia, he’s doing amazing things with children, Dr. Richard Hertle.” I made the appointment and when we met him he said, at the end of the day, if your son’s condition is what I think it is, I will be able to help him. Dr. Hertle took us under his care and treated John for many years to come. John was his patient from Philadelphia to Bethesda then to Ohio, he was a miracle in my son’s life. John went on to play hockey in college and with the help of Dr. Hertle got his driver’s license and is thriving. If you are lucky enough to have Dr. Hertle as you doctor, just know that you could not be in better hands. Dr. Hertle if you read this, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!! I will never forget what you did for my son 26 years ago!

Parents of a child with Nystagmus have no idea how blessed they are to have, Dr. Hertle. Due to his appx 30 years of researching Nystagmus, he has the expertise to properly, as well as safely, treat us. He is honest, up front, warm, humble & intelligent. His staff is typically quite pleasing & competent as well. He is a busy doctor, which means planning your trip to see him requires a couple or few months in advance. Patients travel from all over, including over seas to receive his care. The trip is worth it. He performed an eye muscle surgery on me, which ultimately changed my life for the better. I cannot say what another’s outcome will be, as I am not a doctor, he is the one that will guide you & he does so with his extensive education leading him.

Dr. Hertle did surgery on me this past Friday, he was very good with remarks and what I should do, and not do, to early to know if it worked or not, had surgery on both eyes, at the moment they are very sore and painful, I will follow up with results later

My son was diagnosed with congenital nystagmus at birth. He started seeing Dr Hertle around 1 1/2.He is almost 5 now. Dr Hertle is very knowledgeable and has great bed side manner.He has done 2 corrective surgeries on my son's eyes, I trust him!!

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Hertle. We have been visting with him for the last ten years to treat my daughter's eye issues. He is the most accommodating physician I have ever meet. His personality with children is like a Funcle, the kids seem to just open up to him. I'm thankful everyday he has cared for our daughter. Worth the trip from Atlanta.
