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.

Very positive experience!
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Altman! I was taken on time and the staff was friendly and competant. During my exam, Dr. Altman was very thorough and answered all of my questions. I did not feel rushed at all. While I'm not a doctor, he really seems to know his stuff. I would highly recommend Dr. Altman for anyone who needs a dermatologist.

Would not stain the biopsy- told me they didn’t
I went to Dr. Altman for skin concerns and other concerns. He argued with me that I was perfectly healthy. I am a female and I guess my concerns were not enough for him.He would not send my skin biopsy for the staining needing to diagnose a rare disease that is diagnosed by dermatologist that I told him I suspected.Again. He said I was perfectly healthy and they didn’t do that.I was very sick. I found a good dermatologist who did do the special staining and confirmed diagnosis. I have been finally able to get some treatment to control this. This disease was completely in this doctor’s wheelhouse. He would not even consider the fact that I was sick. He thought I was making it up.It delayed essential care that I am now getting. I went to him bc of his reviews, so I thought it was important to leave one. Delayed my care, dismissed me, and took my money. If your a sick woman, I would go somewhere else.

Competent, I guess
I'm a doctor myself, as well as a practice coach/consultant. I don't want to just be "treated," I want to be treated like a person, and in a friendly environment. Here, everyone is robotic, start to finish. Also, when I pointed out something I wanted removed on my face, the answer I got from the doctor was, "If I do it, it will leave a scar." Huh? I've had this done before, and it was easy and simple. And isn't the name of the practice "Aesthetic Dermatology"? My former dermatologist retired, and I was hoping to establish a relationship with this office. Unfortunately, this is not their strength. I'll continue looking.

I went for a second opinion to see Dr. Altman and was quite disappointed. He didn't even spend 5 minutes with me and was no help whatsoever. Save your time and money and go to another dermatologist.

What a pleasant experience! Office staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. Dr. Altman is outstanding. I waited only 15 minutes for my appointment, and he was apologetic about keeping me waiting. He spent a good amount of time with me, and clearly explained my conditions, and what treatment plan he recommended. I found him to be very calm, friendly, and knowledgeable. I am so happy to have found a doctor that I can trust, with a pleasant and helpful staff. Overall, excellent!

Would NOT recommend Dr. Altman unless you have deep pockets and are willing to accept a questionable diagnosis. He asked me to sign a statement agreeing that my surgery was cosmetic not medical as insurance would not pay for cosmetic surgery. How would I know which one it is?? Although willing to bill insurance, he collected his fee up front. Also he did not take a sample of my abnormal growth for lab analysis as he felt it was non malignant due to his observation and experience. 2nd opinion?
