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.

Annual Exam
I moved from Morris County and needed to find a new cardiologist. Dr. Alturk was recommended by my primary care doctor, Monette Tresvalles. I was very impressed with the time Dr. Alturk spent with me. He listed when I spoke and explained his view of my health in very clear, understandable terms. It was my impression that Dr. Alturk cared when I spoke of the stress I experienced caring for my late father. It was my first visit but I came home feeling positive about my health. Thank you Dr. Alturk

I went to Dr. Alturk with a heart condition. He prescribed medication, checks me out every six months and I am enjoying my retirement some 15 years later. The staff makes an appointment, reminds you about it, processes me in a timely manner and with a smile. The doctor sees me within minutes of the appointment time, answers any questions I have and answers phone calls, usually within hours. While he does spend time on the computer, as all doctors do nowadays, he faces you and is aware of your presence and answers questions.
