Dr. Altman Saved My Life After 20 years of battling heart disease and being told I couldn't be helped, Dr. Altman stepped in and changed everything. He took over after a previous cardiologist missed a 90% blockage in my main artery. Thanks to Dr. Altman and his incredible team, I received a successful double bypass--and a second chance at life. The care, compassion, and attention I received were beyond 5 stars. I truly believe Dr. Altman and Dr. Martin are miracle workers. I'm healthier today because of them, and forever graceful Highly recommend! --Teresha Q.

My experience with Dr Altman is I had bypass surgery he is my Dr and he has no concern for my health. Told him I still having pain in my chest and my breastbone is still moving and it feels like my chest is heavy everytime i get up and his thing is worring about my medicine. Then I had surgery july 28th and I go back to work October 17th but I told him I still need time to heal and he stated he doesn't write for no more time to be out from work. I explain to him my work is strenuous and we do alot of lifting, standing, and walking and moving beds and furniture. He still says he cant write no more time until I bring something from my job that they don't do light duty. I dont know why I have to go through this humiliation with my own dr. I pay the insurance company to pay him and he acts as if I am asking him to put me out a whole year. Will not reccomend him if you have bypass surgery not as your cardiologist .
