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.

Dr. Altbaum is the most incredible doctor that my family and I have ever had, and that includes my parents, as well as my own family. He is impeccable, smart, thorough, and very hard working. He returns every phone call immediately, he calls with the results of all of your lab tests as soon as he gets them. He is a real partner in managing my health. He is seriously the best doctor around.

Dr Altbaum is really excellent. I've had some complicated issues and he is right on with diagnoses and solutions. He knows and recognizes and solves extremely rare conditions and not so rare. He never disappoints.
