Patient Reviews
Sep 28, 2023
I've beentaking my son to see Dr. Alter for several years and feel lucky to have a doctor with such expertise, yet is able to explain things very clearly. I'm very impressed that he speaks directly with my son to make sure he understands everything. He uses analogies that make a complex subject easy to understand. Dr. Alter patiently listens to our concerns and answers any questions we may have. I would highly recommend him!
