Couldn't ask for a better doc! If you have the chance to see Dr. Altorki, you'll understand. He's honest and upfront, tackling even my silliest questions (I had a few). No nonsense and super straightforward, he keeps your expectations in check. Plus, he goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable, even when you're feeling your worst.
