Altman, Andrew R, MD - Altman Andrew R MD

I don't know what the people that wrote reviews back in '07 and '06 are talking about but that must be from the old office he was at. There were other doctors there. But Dr. Altman I have been seeing for a few years now and has his own private practice. He has never pushed products on me, don't know what slime the other people are talking about. The staff has always been a pleasure to talk to and helpful. One time something he prescribed wasn't covered by insurance and he switched it up for me. Oh, a bonus is that a lot of the time I am able to get an appointment right away. He is nice and professional. I would give him a try. more

Pros: never have to wait more then ten minutes in the office more

I went to Dr. Altman for over a year for treatment. Everytime, he had some guy that had the demeanor of a ""snake oil salesman"" come in first and try and sell me their in house products. (shampoos, snake oil products, etc.) Then, his intern would come in and treat me, not even the Dr. himself. Unbelievable. He seldom writes out a straight prescription, instead he's always trying to sell you something that he has, which doesn't happen to work. This guy should be avoided at all costs. Such a shame that people like him give Dr.'s a bad name. I would beware since it seems even his treatments may be his own ""homemade"" remedies instead of what they might be at another Dr.s. I know because when I went to another Dr. , the treatment he gave me was different but had the same prescription name. Beware!!! Pros: staff was nice- Cons: only out to sell his own products/prescriptions.-don't think he really cares about the patient more

This is one of the worst doctors I have been to. He misdiagnosed a ""rash"" on my leg and only prescribed me hydrocortisone. It got much worse as I continued to see him and found out later on by my new doctor that I could have gotten very sick had I continued Dr. Altman's ""treatment"". Plus, on my very first visit with him, I had to get undressed and was never provided with a gown. To make the matter worse, Dr. Altman left the room while I was still undressed where everyone in the office could see me! Extremely unprofessional and prescribes his own line of expensive yet ineffective products to make him more money. I am writing this so that maybe some people will stear clear of this guy if you value your health and don't want to waste your time and money. There are MUCH better doctors in the area. Choose wisely! Pros: in and out appointments, nice staff Cons: the two pros do not outweigh the countless cons! more
