Dr. Alterman has always treated me with respect. He always answered my questions fully. I never felt that I was being rushed out of the room because someone else was waiting to be seen. Besides being incredibly talented as a surgeon, he is a true gentleman and has an excellent bedside manner. I come from a long line of family blindness due to Macular Degeneration. As a widow, I was concerned about signs of MD being present in my eyes and how I would manage my own care in the future if I was blind. I switched to Dr. Alterman as he was recommended to me as a physician who was excellent in treating senior eye issues. I am so happy I switched. It has made a significant positive difference in my eye care.
Thank you for your wonderful care.
Also thanks to Gobi as she was quite kind as well as thorough.

I went to see Dr. Alterman for a cataract surgery consultation. I was treated royally from the first telephone call making the appoiontment with Shannon. My appointment was for 9:00 AM. I arrived 25 minutes early and was taken almost immediately thereafter. Every staff member I encountered was courteous, professional and explained what they were doing in the process. Dr. Alterman was a rock star. His examination was very thorough; he explained what he saw and how he proposed to treat my condition. He further explained all of the options available and answered every one of my questions without hesitation and complete confidence. I will look no further and have scheduled the surgery to be done by Dr. Alterman in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Dr. Alterman and his staff for any ophthalmological procedure one would require.
