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.

One of the best
Dr A. helped me get thru a pretty brutal experience after being hit by a car and was very responsive to my mental health care needs when I was going thru a challenging time post-accident. He’s easily my favorite general practitioner I’ve seen in 40 years. He’s friendly, funny, and is willing to discuss various treatment options rather than just sending you out of the office with his pre-determined recommendation.

Dr Altschuler is hands down, the BEST Dr I’ve ever had. He takes the time to listen and has a great sense of calming factors as well! He and his nurse Grisel should be cloned.

Since I have been seeing Dr. Altschuler, my health has improved considerably. He has a vast understanding of Medicine, he is kind and very easy to talk to. He inspired me to lose weight rather than just telling me to. He is very responsive to my needs. I feel very fortunate to have him for my doctor.

I've never met a doctor who was so incompetent. Didn't care about my symptoms that I had for low testosterone. I had a leg injury and I asked to get an x Ray to see the extent of the damage and he said you don't need to get an x Ray I'll write you a perscription to take away the pain. Stay away from this doctor he doesn't care about his patients!
