Valerie Altmann

Dr. Altman is a great doctor. I am a 64 years old woman with myoma’s. She has taken her time to listen, review and explain. Welcoming staff and premise is clean.

Dr was Professional and made me feel at ease

She's so easy to talk to, blunt, and to the point. She's also very thorough. As someone who has a bunch of medical conditions, it's reassuring that she goes through my other doctor notes as we're talking during my appointment. I always come with questions that I have and she takes her time answering all questions. If there's anything that she's not sure about or that I forgot to ask her, I'll email her through the patient portal and she gets back to me within 1-2 days depending on if she's doing hospital rounds or not. Best OBGYN I've ever had. She's also extremely compassionate. I had a difficult recovery after my episiotomy and she cried with me after I shared my hospital experience with her (I had a scare but everything was OK). She's just a wonderful person.

Worse place ever really unprofessional. You can never reach anyone is just leave a message. Don’t waste your time just because this place is affiliated with LIJ. Dr. Altmann is really rude and doesn’t explain or shows that even cares for you as a patient. It’s like you there they just do the basic and that’s it. This is my first pregnancy and I didn’t feel comfortable at all. She’s not even friendly there is so much concern and as a doctor she don’t have time to care it’s just always quick so they can move on to the next person. Even when you ask questions about your concern it’s not given much importance. Worse place ever really unprofessional. You can never reach anyone is just leave a message.

she is really amazing doc !! she delivered my baby girl and during delivery she was amazing

Dr Altman is an amazing doctor. She was my doctor for both my babies and she delivered my first. During delivery, she was there from start to finish and she was such a pleasure to have around. My baby became breech and she guided me to have a procedure to turn the baby for labor to avoid c section. She was also present during that procedure. I’m so happy that she was my doctor.

My entire experience with Dr.Altmann was HORRIBLE. From the beginning I felt off about her but thought ok it’s the first visit and maybe it’ll get better with time and once she gets to know me. Nope! If anything, it became worse. She was never informative about anything, she always made me feel stupid about asking questions and this was my first pregnancy and I’m not the one who’s a board certified gynecologist but for someone who is, I’d say she’s pretty rude and doesn’t seem to know much herself since she shrugs off questions. She always rushed me out of her office yet I’ve witnessed her take her time with others or just greet them better.

Great, professional and extremely caring doctors. Dr. Altman took great care of me during and after 2 pregnancies, and I couldn’t ask for a better service.

Extremely professional but yet very friendly and approachable. I would say Dr. Altman is one of the best!!

I am going to admit I take some responsibility in this. I was late and she couldn’t see me for yesterday’s appointment which I understood but the clinic should have made it clear that they were going to close due to the snow. People came even after 4:00 PM. What got me upset was that she didn’t explain one of my test results thoroughly and I was very concerned about my wellbeing. She had her nurse come out and explain to me what the result meant. I understand if you are in a rush, but I would not want this professional to deliver my child. No explanation, seemed rushed, and uninterested in someone’s wellbeing.

Dr Altman is truly a great doctor. However - the rating being so low is primarily due to unprofessional front desk, assistant and nurses. Sadly - after being patient for over 10 years and putting up with 3-4 months later appointments, I must rethink my own healthcare. I am posting this in hopes of letting the management of the office know that they need to train their staff so they don’t pick up phone and not even say hello for 15 seconds. Then not even listen to what I am saying and ask “you wanted a Spanish person right.” Perhaps should have listened to me before asking such question. After repeating my name for 4 times say so I have appointment 4 months later - “so you are not having any problem right?” After I requested to speak to the nurse and explain my concern. She transferred me back to a male receptionist to repeat my problem. Seriously where is the patient care there. If Dr Altman moves her practice I will totally follow but the mgmt of this clinic is nothing more than running a factory at this point. Saldly I have to post a bad review for such an amazing doctor.

I received an update on my patient portal on a friday night at 8 p.m. in regards to a positive HPV test. I wasnt exactly sure how to read the results they were very unclear so i called the aftercare line because I was panicking. I already have severe anxiety and needed any doctor or nurse to confirm the findings for me. Upon her callback, Dr. Altmann was so annoyed by my call. She even said to me "I was in surgery and was notified for this?!" She literally screamed at me. I was so devastated.

I've been coming to this practice for 20 years. In the last 5 years the office has gone so downhill. The staff is horrible, rude and incompetent. Dr Altmann's secretary treats people like garbage. As far as Dr Altmann, she is a great Dr, however I will be searching for a new office. It's just not worth it anymore.
