Patient Reviews
Nov 29, 2016
Dr. Altwerger was amazing. I was in for a very painful issue and he saw immediately how nervous I was to have him even touch my foot and was patient and calm and talked me through everything he was going to do and put me at ease. The only downside to this office is there seems to be a bit of a wait, but I don't mind that when the doctor takes his time to make sure you understand your treatment and his thoughts behind it.
