Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful!
Dr. Altimore was fantastic, and listened to my concerns. Just a super-nice doctor, and genuinely concerned with my health and well-being. Highly recommended.

I met Dr Altimore as a person who was having symtoms. I didn't think i needed a by pass, but Dr Altlimore spent hours convincing me and my wife it was needed. After the bypass @ Deborah i felt like a new person. His attention to detail and caring is amazing. After a long road to recovery i feel better than ever and no symptoms at all, I owe it all to him. Today i had an appointment with Dr Altlimore as i was waiting i saw he walked a patient out to the waiting area who was lost. He made sure the patient was ok and oriented. What Dr do you know would do that? It is a small example how much he cares for each of his patients.

Dr. Altimore is so caring and very knowledgeable. He’s a great Person and Doctor, it’s rare to find both. He makes sure that my heart is in good health & that my overall health is stable. He even understands about the different heath issues I have outside of cardiology. I see a lot of Doctors and Dr. Altimore is my absolute favorite! My Mother is his Patient as well, she feels the same. As a bonus he’s at Deborah the #1 heart Hospital in NJ! You Can’t go wrong, he’s a blessing!

I entered Deborah Heart and Lung with pain, fear and a significant personal and family cardiac history. Dr. Altimore assessed me medically, covered the meds I already took, answered my questions made certain that I understood those answers and his plan of care. I have both respect and faith in his abilities.
