Dr.Altschuler performed ADR surgery on my neck at the end of November. Leading up to, day of, and after surgery, Dr. Altschuler was extremely straightforward, honest, and professional. I would reccomend him and his staff to anyone (and have).

I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about Dr. Altschuler and his PA's and staff. Having your spine operated on is terrifying. He was very kind, honest, and knowledgeable in my meetings leading up to surgery. I had a disc replacement (5-6) and fusion (6-7) in my neck in Sept 2020 with him. The recovery was shockingly seamless and the results are better than I expected. He is just as kind and attentive in his follow-up visits as he was initially and prior to surgery. I plan to have him do my replacements in my lower back as well when the time comes. I give him the highest recommendation possible.

I refer complete strangers to Dr Altschuler, he has certainly impressed me , I am now 6 weeks post op from C5-6 disc replacement, and C6-7 fusion.
I did Dr shop before seeing him, but he immediately made me feel comfortable. He has advanced skills (disc replacement) and a competent manner. I was refered to him by a nurse friend who had worked with him in the OR and with his post op Patients. I cannot imagine that I am now relieved of the pain that i had , 10 months after the cervical injury. Super guy, great surgeon! His office is run efficiently and the secretaries and nurses are top notch

I was under the Drs care for a badly herniated disc causing severe sciatica pain. He performed a partial diskectomy to correct the problem, and I am doing very well. The doctor has excellent bedside manner and his staff is wonderful.

I recently selected Dr Altschuler after meeting with 3 other spine surgeons for a herniated c6/c7 disc causing pain and numbness in my right arm. He is extremely thoughtful and approachable and has significant experience with the Mobi-C artificial disc. I am extremely fortunate to have found this practice. If you are interested to learn more about my injury and decision to pursue ACDR, I posted a series of videos on YouTube under the title: My Mobi-C cervical disc replacement journey
