    Dr. Altman knows how to relate to the children in order to get them to cooperate. He is great with my daughter. She has been with him since she was 2 and she is almost 7. So figure almost 5 years next month.

    It was refreshing to have my provider explain in detail how I could be helped or how to investigate further what else I could have done for better vision. Dr. Altman was patient, engaged, and listened. His demeanor was pleasant and I didn't feel rushed.

    Dr. Altman is remarkable. My grandchildren all go to him, and they also rave about him. He is definetly the best doctor I have ever had, and I am 71 years old.

    I've been treated for MS since Nov 2003. The problems started because of my eyesight. This is the best Neuro optometrist I've been treated by. And he runs a tight ship.
