Old school doctor. Patient, did not rush me. Positive encouraging. Gave me 2 prescriptions and indicated another treatment available if these don't help within a week. All of this and more very unusual for psoriasis patients. Not the typical 30 second appointment, scribble a prescription and out the door. Dr. Altchek is not a typical dermatologist. He is really treating me and I greatly apprecia

I have been going to Dr. Altchek for well over a decade now. He is the kindest man who has great bedside manner and I always have a wonderful experience. His nurses and staff are lovely as well and would recommend him.

Doctor was very professional and efficient. He has probably seen numerous cases similar to mine, but I feel he could’ve given some time for questions.

The registration process was very straightforward, I had to wait very little time to be seen by the doctor. He was a good listener and promptly addressed the reason of my visit. Very good experience.

I was impressed by the professionalism of the office staff and especially, Dr. Altchek. His bedside manner is great! He put me at ease, explained his diagnosis and listened to what I had to say, without having me feel rushed. I will definitely return!
July 10, 2023James M.Verified patient
Doctor was great and knowledgeable, but front desk was absolutely AWFUL which led me to cancel my follow-up appointment
They were like here’s your prescription I’m like can you call it in. They told me no so i text my pharmacy the prescription after i leave and they said they can’t fill it the doctor needs to call it in so i go back to the office and tell them that and they say ok but we’ll do it in an hour or 2 and i said why - they said we’re busy i said it takes 2 seconds they said no it doesn’t then they go what pharmacy so i verbally told them and they go ok we know that one np
Then i leave and they call me 5 mins later and say you didn’t fill out the pharmacy info on the patient form i said i literally just told you it and you know it and they go well that doesn’t help us bc then we have to spend time looking it up and finding the phone number
I feel bad bc the doctor was great but he should really consider getting a new front desk staff that actually cares about his patients
July 5, 2023Shelby R.Verified patient
Great experience, I felt comfortable talking and listening to the doctor. Coming back to see him again next week to make sure medicine is working ok- otherwise,

Wonderful doctor, very professional and takes time to explain everything. Had minor procedures done that went very smoothly. Great with kids too.
October 26, 2022Ela M.Verified patient
All the patients were angry, the office had issues and the staff was unfriendly. My appointment got rescheduled twice and then I still had to wait for an hour. The entire place is straight out of the 1930s. I was unhappy with the quality of care and results. Would not recommend even if you have no other option
Initials hidden
The doctor was looking in a hurry and rush situation. Not a good listener. I don't know how knowledgeable he is but he doesn't show any sympathy or care about patients. Just want to sell you his brand of pricey medicine and get rid of you as soon as possible.
