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.

20 years under his care
Dr. Alt takes his time with his patients and is genuinely concerned about them. I've never felt rushed; he has always responded to my calls promptly and is very pleasant. He is knowledgeable about new medications and thoroughly understands my needs.

This was the worst experience, I have ever had. He treated us like, he were paying us, not us him. He asked us to walk up front, and we were not done, with appointment. I had an episode, in his office. He came in, and asked my husband, “if we needed to reschedule, because I couldn’t talk”. He never asked, is she ok, is this what I need to be looking for, is this what’s going on, ZERO. Well, thank God above, I had another appointment lined up, went, and they found a tumor, in my brain. Don’t go to this Dr., if you need help. That’s right, he shewed me out, the next week, I went to another Dr., and he found a tumor!!

Dr Alt was thorough in his assessments, knowledgeable and communicated effectively, researched my history to understand my complications and ordered appropriate labs. He spent time with me on my initial visit and I felt he was vested in the cause of my medical issues.

Always enjoy my appointments with Dr. Alt. He has a good sense of humor and I can tell he enjoys talking to people. He has the ability to have a pleasant conversation and at the same time listen for any problems one may have. He’s a good listener.

After sitting in waiting room c. 20-25 mins, I was seated in an exam room and there c. 35 mins. I would rather have stayed in the waiting room, as it had a TV. When the doctor finally greeted me, I was asked to move again, to his office. A traditional exam room is not necessary for treatment by a neurologist. The post-lunch consultation wasn’t rushed, but the doctor yawned constantly during it, which was c. 30-40 mins. I didn’t doubt his ability was diminished but it was disconcerting.

Had a EMG this morning and was completely freaked out by the idea of it all. While not completely pain free, it was absolutely not worth the worry I put myself through. Dr Alt's demeanor was pleasant and put me at ease. He did not rush me through the test and allowed me to take a break. Not even sure the break was necessary, but I can easily get myself worked up when needles are involved. Overall I would recommend his services.
