Dr. Alteri is so kind and listens to every word I say without interrupting. Very through too- never had such a detailed history and physical exam.

I saw Dr Altieri for the first time today and was most impressed. He was the perfect mix between being very knowlegable and compassionate. He has a very rare gift of being an active listener and genuinely listening to his patients. He doesn't make you feel rushed, so if you have to wait , just know you will also get your time. He is a blessing to the community!

Dr. Jim is kind, upbeat, patient and caring. He has good listening skills and you never feel rushed. We have been going to him for several years and there is no better doctor out there.

New to area and randomly picked Dr. A. I couln't believe my luck in choosing Dr. A. He was very personable , thorough and listened to what I had to say. He made a very homesick patient feel welcome and feel at home.

I have been going to Dr. Alteri for about 6 years now and he is by far the best doctor i have been to. He is always courteous and spends all the time necessary to hear about my health concerns. He is so good i have recently started to take my mother to him and she likes him a lot. I wish all my doctor's were like him.
