How likely are you to recommend Dr. Gitschlag?
Back in May 2003 when I was 15 years old I was referred to him by the doctor I had at the time because my left eye was very blood shot, bruised, painful; and I was dealing with vomiting and severe headache. He diagnosed me and said that the glands behind my eye was badly swollen. I was out of school for about 2 weeks, seeing him 3 days a week and going for CT scans because he was concerned for me and wanted to keep track of it. I couldn't have asked for a better specialist. He literally saved my eye. When I turned 18 years old I had to be referred to a specialist who works with adults. Believe me, I seriously cried because I didn't want a new specialist. If he was treating adults too you could definitely count on me to go right back to him. He's the best eye specialist and I totally recommend him to each and every person needing a knowledgeable, trustworthy, caring eye specialist who takes time to explain, who really cares about you! As an adult now, I wish I could go to him again.
