Patients consistently praise Dr. Brie Altenau for her compassionate and attentive care, highlighting her thorough explanations, empathetic nature, and ability to make patients feel heard and at ease. She is frequently described as highly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to addressing patients' concerns, often going above and beyond by providing clear information and following up even during her personal time.

Doctor went over thoroughly what my procedure will entail. I've had this procedure done before and this was the first time a doctor has taken me through step by step.

Dr A is amazing. My favorite OB. I trust her completely. She always answers all of my questions honestly and efficiently, and with sensitivity. If I could just see her for every appointment, I would.

During my appointment to assess a mass in my uterus, Dr. Altenau quickly charted a course forward for me by providing two possible paths based on the results of a CA125 blood test which she ordered that day. She described in great detail and with clarity one procedure, a hysteroscopy, and spoke candidly but not in an alarming way of the possibility of cancer. She allayed many fears I had. I left her office feeling very reassured and confident my health issue will be taken care of quickly. I would highly recommend Dr. Altenau.

This provider was amazing. I was really scared for my appointment and she talked me through everything by that was going to happen with my procedure. She answered my myriad of questions with thought out answers. She was kind and patient and didn't make me feel like I was just another patient to mark off of her schedule. Genuinely it was one of the best experiences I've had with an OBGYN

This appointment with Dr. Altenau was the first time I really felt truly heard regarding the pain and problems I had been experiencing. She came in with options and tons of info and really put me at ease regarding this whole process. It was a 10/10 experience after some less than stellar experiences with previous providers I've seen during this pregnancy.
