I've been Dr. Altherr's patient for many years, and I've never had an issue with her. She's thorough in her exams, asks appropriate questions, and offers advice when I need it. I am comfortable confiding in her. She has a great sense of humor as well. Her staff are superb, and the wait time is normal 10-20 minutes.
