Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been seeing Dr Altay since 2008 after being referred to her by my general MD. and I would not go to any other doctor! She is always pleasant, takes the time needed to discuss your health and answer questions. She does not rush to surgery although that is what I ended up needing to have and it was successful. Her staff is pleasant and have been with her for a long time which is a testament to her. While I only have an annual visit they always remember me and make me feel welcomed.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Altay?
She only spent 5 minutes with me as a new patient. She gets upset if you ask any questions and is abrasive and talks to you in a condescending manner. She said I needed a total hysterectomy for my fibroid. I asked her why, and if there were other options. She said in a nasty tone to listen to her, and I got no explanation, as she told me she had to go to the next patient. I had 2nd opinions with 2 other doctors,. They both explained I definitely didn't need a hysterectomy & they were right.
