Overview

Dr. Dorothy Hendricks has been a pediatric ophthalmologist at Nemours for 16 years. She enjoys treating children as they grow and helping to change their lives. I treat children because of the impact that can be made on a child’s life. Even small beneficial changes to a child’s vision can help emotionally, psychologically, and socially. It’s important for me to help children not feel held back. I’m passionate about being part of a multidisciplinary group that can holistically care for a child. By treating a child from birth to adulthood, I can help improve the vision and overall health of a child; allowing the child to thrive and succeed in whatever they choose to do.

Dr. Hendricks is highly rated in 38 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Amblyopia, Strabismus, Retinochoroidal Coloboma, and Esotropia.

Dr. Hendricks is board certified in American Board Of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, and American Board Of Ophthalmology. She is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 9 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Hendricks is currently accepting new patients.
