Patient Reviews
Mar 04, 2024
Dr Altman is an amazing surgeon! He listens to you, and knew exactly what was wrong with my knees after a quick physical exam. He really takes amazing care of you in the hospital and afterwards. After my second knee surgery, I was going down my stairs and lost my balance, and ended up snapping my kneecap! He had me back in surgery in 3 days once we realized what had happened. Everything went great with all three surgeries. Lovelace is an extremely wonderful hospital also! I went to skilled nursing after the hospital, then home. He made sure everything went smoothly for me the whole way through. Best knee surgeon ever!!! Oh, by the way, his entire staff at the office was wonderful also! I would definitely see him again.
