Patient Reviews
Sep 20, 2024
I have been seeing Dr. Alter for 23 years. He is patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. And the most important thing is he cares for his patients. Once he agreed to see me when I arrived for my appointment at the wrong time and it was my fault. I am very thankful to Dr. Alter for that as it was Friday afternoon and I had been in pain for a few days already. I highly recommend this wonderful doctor to everyone.
