Patient Reviews
Jun 06, 2024
This was my physical for 2024. Dr Altherr did a physical exam, a breast exam, reviewed what vaccines are available and which I may benefit from. We went over all my medicines to insure the info was correct/complete and make any adjustments, as needed. Dr gave me lab/test orders for my annual tests like a mammogram and blood test to insure my blood levels are back to normal after my recent hospitalization. I would certainly recommend Dr. Altherr to my family and friends. I like her.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
