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.

Great experience with Dr Altman
As usual, great experience. I did not feel rushed and Dr Altman listened to my complaints and performed the appropriate exam. She is always kind and sincere. I have been seeing her for at least fifteen years and I feel very confident in her ability. She has helped me with emergency referrals in the past, especially when I had a fracture while away from home. The office staff is very professional and competent and I was taken as soon as I arrived. The blood work results were ready the next day and Dr. Altman messaged me about the results. My only complaint is that it is very difficult to schedule a wellness check and I have to plan at least 6 - 8 months ahead. However, I know that if I need her in between, I will have good access to Dr Altman either through a telehealth or an office visit.

Very helpful and trusted PCP
Dr. Altman has been my Primary Care Physician for several years. She has proven to be a good listener, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. She is a clear and proactive communicator, both in person and in virtual visits. In my experience she has been a comforting and calm presence, especially when she is aware that I am worried or nervous about symptoms I have, or procedures that might be needed.

I had a list of things to discuss. Other physicians have expressed impatience at times. But Dr Altman listened, considered and made recommendations about each one. She has always been kind, thoughtful and respectful

Wonderful physician
I’ve been seeing Dr Altman for many years and she is a very knowledgeable and kind physician. After a thorough examination she takes her time to listen and answer any questions I might have. I couldn’t imagine seeing anyone else.

Excellent care and decisive action
Dr Altman was the on-call doctor from my GP’s office. She arranged a tele-visit straight away, reviewed all the info in my chart, talked to me, then created a clearcut treatment plan. I really appreciate her “on the ballness,” if that’s a thing!

She’s an outstanding doctor!
This was my first appointment with Dr. Altman and I found her to be very knowledgeable with an excellent bedside manner. She spent a considerable amount of time with me and explained my current condition in detail. She went over what to expect from the treatment as well as what possible side effects I might encounter from the medication. All in all my experience was a very positive one and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly qualified internist.
