Dr. Denis Ian Altman

He consistently told my daughter she needed ‘lifestyle change’ for her migraines. After she was admitted to the hospital for her migraines, even though she was doing all his suggested changes, he came to see her and told her she didn’t ‘look as bad as they made her sound on the phone’. She was 17, she had not looked at her phone for days, no lights on, no TV on and her pain level was still a 4 with IV meds and her said since she wasn’t a 5 she didn’t need to be in the hospital. When we were released, he prescribed a med that had been discontinued for years. When the pharmacist called he told them that was a last resort and provided my daughter no other options for relief other than over the counter meds.

LOVE Dr. Altman. He came highly recommended by my pediatric nurse friends and I have found their advice to be sound. My daughter has seen him for almost 7 years now. The worst part of the experience is making an appointment, but it is worth the effort. Getting in right away is easy, but scheduling in advance (for a day off school, for instance) is nearly impossible.

Friendly doctor! Nursing staff could be better and more helpful though.

Whoever says Dr. Altman is not great... simply wrong. He spends more time with you than any dictor have ever had appointment with. Listens, is patient, great with my son, explains things very well to me. Bedside manner is top notch! Really could not ask for a better doctor.

I have never met someone with worse bedside manner than Dr. Altman. You can tell he has an enormous ego and even though he asks you questions, he immediately cuts you off. I think all my responses got out 2-3 words then he didn't want to hear anything more I had to say. When your child is your life you expect better communication. I also comments he isn't an expert on the stuff you go to him for (after). And you get zero prior warning when talking to staff on WHY you need to come in. Stay away.

This doctor is amazing , you have his undivided attention when he's with you. He's looking at the whole picture not just a diagnosis.
