Dr. Habib Elias Rathle, MD

We are no longer patients due to no longer being in the area but I wanted to take a moment to leave a review because I think of Dr. Rathle often. I had my first child in 2017, and was referred to Rathle because my daughter required a NB appointment 2 days after birth. Dr. Rathle and his staff were so kind and gentle with my newborn. We left feeling in very good hands. A week later we took our newborn to the ER and as we were waiting received a call from his office asking if we were at the ER. We said yes, and why, and they asked us to bring our baby to the office instead so they could help. This took hours off of our wait time and as new parents we were reassured at Rathle's office that our baby was fine and not ill enough to need an ER visit. What I loved about Dr. Rathle was the way he educated the parents of his patients. I also loved his availability for his patients. There was never a moment where we couldn't call and ask questions and receive immediate support from him or his… staff. I was so sad when we had to leave Yuma due to my husband leaving the Military. I wish we could have continued to be patients, because it has not been an easy task finding another pediatrician like Dr. Rathle.

He’s been my doctor since I was a baby, and my parents say he explains everything so well.

He has a habit of not only telling patients to stop meds from other Drs on weekend but judgemental to a point he doesn't take concerns seriously. The old receptionist was amazingly friendly and sweet. The new replacement has been extremely rude various times! I am now Pedi shopping! Wait times can be as long as 2 hours! Yes he will call and check up on a sick kid, but so do other great Pedis from what I hear!

Dr. Rathle has been my children's doctor for almost 30 years. He's kind, courteous, knowledgeable and very up to date on childrens health issues. His many diagnosis of my children has been very accurate. My children and I are very blessed to have Dr. Rathle as our pediatrician.

Even though it takes a while to be seen, it is well worth it. Dr Rathleis the most compassionate Pediatrician I have ever met and provides true presence to his patients. He also calls and flows up in person, making sure that all of his little patients are on the road to recovery when ill.

Friendly and welcoming environment! Dr. Rathle is very informative and caring!

From the moment both my children were born they have had Dr Rathle as their doctor. I wouldn't have it any other way. When my son got the stomach virus for days Dr Rathle would personally call my home at all hours of the day to check on him. I recall one night he even called at 9pm to check on him. When he felt it was time for my son to be admitted he met me at the hospital. He had arranged a room for him so all I had to do was check him in. He would make visits the next few days till my son was able to go home. Not only do I recall that day, but the day my daughter got pneumonia. Dr Rathle again would personally call home to check on her. It was the holidays and he could have easily said he was on vacation, but he made sure to give me his number where I could reach him anytime I needed to do so. Dr Rathle then opened his office that holiday weekend to check her and give her medication. These both times Dr Rathle went above what a Dr will normally do and that is why I… respect him and trust him with my children. Did I mention that he remembers our names? He never rushes us out of his office. He cares about his patients and will put you first before himself. I love that. For that I will continue to go to Dr Rathle and recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Rathle is one of a kind. He spends as much time necessary with his patients and follows up when they have been ill. He educates each patient and parent, and I appreciate that. He's a great man with a kind staff.

Dr. Rathle is very good at what he does. He takes his time with his patients and he helps you with the situation that your child may have.His staff is also welcoming and helpful. I would recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Rathle is the finest physician I have ever worked with. He is brilliant and reads constantly to inform his practice of pediatrics. You and your child are in loving hands with this fine man and doctor.
