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.

Everyone from “checking in to checking out “ was very helpful, professional and most importantly friendly!!! I would recommend Dr. Altman to everyone I know who might need his services. Thanks for everything... Kevin McM. -Norristown, PA

Dr. Altman is the best. Friendly, understanding, no question to insignificant to answer. A very personable "bedside" manner. Helped me through multiple kidney stone surgeries and prostrate surgery. The staff is friendly and very willing to process any problems.

Dr. Altman has been by urologist for many years. He guided me through serious kidney stone issues. He is attentive to my concerns, explains treatment options clearly allowing plenty of time for my questions. He is very knowledge and able to explain treatment options at a level I can understand. I highly recommend his urological care to any age patient. One of my family members has taken him on as their urologist to their satisfaction.

Excellent. Seems like a friend interested in your problems rather than a MD just treating you like another name on their computer. Would highly recommend. Staff was pleasant also.
