May 25, 2024
Dr Alterman is a very personable and capable ophthalmologist. He has successfully performed cataract surgery on both me and my husband and Blepharoplasty on me. He answers all questions completely and listens carefully. He has a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to see each time we visit for routine follow up.
