Dr. Wayne Jay Altman, MD

Great doctor. One of the best in his field, along with an office staff to match. Everyone goes above, beyond and out of their way to make your visit a memorable one. Been seing the doctor for 25+ years.

Great

When one go to one for the best Doctors in the area, you get fast accurate information. Most people don't even know what's wrong with themselves. This man dose. In quick, out quick. Even did my surgery on the 1st day of his vacation. The whole experience of a broken ankle was made a lot easier thanks to Dr. Altman.

Very small office and unorganized. Area where I saw the dr. was so small and u could not even sit 2 people. Horrible office. Dr. was urgent in speech and in a hurry to leave. Trying to get us out the door. No cash to give us change from $100. He knows what he speaks of but horrible dr. in regards to caring and explaining to the patient. Very agitated and wants to get things done with.

I drove about 12 miles to see this doctor because they had a same week appointment. Good impression when you walk in, staff not friendly at all, The wait was not bad, but when the assistant got me into the room the chair was disgusting and the rugs were super dirty. I wish i could post the picture here. When the doctor came, he didn't introduce himself, he jumped into reading my complain, spent literally 3 min with me with poor assessment. He only addressed one problem that i mentioned. I am going to do an MRI that he ordered and go to another Orthopedic doctor.

Top notch surgeon without the greatest bedside manner..but I would give that up for the full use of my hand back which Dr altman gave me.

A tendon in my left hand had been severed in a work related accident and I was told by the good doctor that he couldn't reattach it because it was now too short but fortunately I was one of those people that had a "spare" tendon that he could use to replace the damaged tendon and if he didn't do this it would be too short and I wouldn't be able to bend my finger fully. Well I had the operation and was going to therapy (his therapists in the same building) and the therapist was being very aggressive and I told her that she was actually hurting my hand but she responded that it was necessary to stretch the tendon. Long story short the tendon snapped and I had to be operated on again. After the second operation I developed Carpal tunnel and when I called to discuss this he refused to get on the phone and told his nurse that they were totally unrelated. I told the nurse that no further correspondence between us was necessary and any further correspondence would be through my attorney, she… put me on hold and miraculously the dr. agreed the carpal tunnel was probably related to the surgery and he repaired that. Oh and by the way my finger does not and never has been able to bend fully even with the "spare" tendon since the operation. This was my experience but decide for yourself, but as you can probably guess I would not go to him again.

Was to have surgery by him, changes his mind, to be done by someone else. You put your trust with this Dr. & he does the opposite! You would have to form your own opinion of him, by going to see him! He's a good Dr.

What did the the doctor write his own good reviews? He sent my son for an X-ray and CT scan and MRI. To proceed to tell him that he would have to wear his leg in a immobilizer for 12 weeks and possibly need surgery. The second opinion said the xray and CT were completely unnecessary based on symptoms the MRI should have only been done. Long story short, no immobilizer needed, surgery was COMPLETELY out of the question... just rest was all it needed.

He has his faults, as to his bedside manners; but overall he's an excellent surgeon. He will help you to the best of his knowledge of understanding your medical condition. You do not select a Dr. on his bedside manners, you select a Dr. On his quality and performance in the operating room and efficiency of diagnosing your medical issue and following up visits, afterwards!
