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.

Stay Away
This man is extremely arrogant and rude. Shouldn’t be called a “doctor”. He is dismissive of his patients and has a terrible attitude. He will cut the dose of your meds in half if he doesn’t like you. Stay away!

Dr. Altobelli has been a trusted doctor for several years so it could be the office, the lack of a reliable phone system, or the fact that our doctor does not get his messages.

Very Pleased
My first visit to Dr. Altobelli. The practice seems well-run and he is a very pleasant and efficient physician. He spent a reasonable amount of time with me, answered all of my questions and included me in decisions. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Altobelli took great care of my mother and is now taking great care of my husband. He is thorough and takes time to explain things. We are grateful that he has my husband out of AFib and going strong

I have never met a doctor that cares about all aspects of your life besides your illness. He is caring, compassionate and extremely wonderful at what he does. He's taken care of my parents and now myself and my spouse. We all love doctor Altobelli and recommend him to everyone.

I found Dr. Altobelli to be totally OBNOXIOUS and RUDE!!!! I went to him as my Cholesterol and blood pressure was high. He came in the room with an attitude saying I wasn't there in 3 years but was suppose to come back before now. I told him that was not the case I went to him three years ago for clearance for surgery and he told me only come back if I have a problem. Then he insulted me after insulted me saying Do you know your overweight? Do you eat dessert all day long?
