Patient Reviews
Jun 29, 2020
Dr. Altomare will take the time to really dive-in to what is going on with you... he truly understands that GI diseases are experiences that are unique to each patient. I've not once felt rushed or unheard during visits - not during critical care or follow-ups. He asks great questions to really figure out the best path forward.
