Got to the facts.

He doesn't beat around the bush. He tells you exactly what he sees and the options available. He listens to your concerns and evaluates what you say to come to the best possible solution.

Good experience.

September 21, 2020

I felt completely at ease and happy with the recommendations made by the physician.

July 28, 2020

I have found Dr Altschuler to be very compassionate and thorough surgeon. He is not like some surgeons I've had in the past in that he looks at the whole picture, or in this case patient, and is not quick to "cut". When I have needed a follow-up visit for various concerns he treats me with respect and has never been dismissive of me in any way.
