Very friendly and comforting. I often avoid doctors because I feel like a number at a meat market. Dr. Altchek was very compassionate and told me we together will work on treating my acne break outs. Made me feel confident he waShow mores the correct doctor because often other doctors write a script and if the medication doesn't work out they blame the patient for not applying it correctly. Dr. Altchek spent longer with me than any other doctor and before I went into the exam room, we met in his office where we discussed hobbies and kindly why I am visiting his office. I am now looking forward to visits to Dr. Altchek. Thank you Dr. Altchek!
I have been a patient of Dr. Altchek's for over 20 years. I entrust my skin care to him. He has repaired my injured face, monitored me for skin cancer and other diseases, repaired scars and addressed other issues. He has a conservShow moreative approach and is cautious, aiming to produce the best results. I trust my life with Dr. Altchek and give him my highest recommendation for expert care and great bedside manner. He is dedicated to his work, has a fun sense of humor and takes the worry out of doctor visits. His staff is excellent and a pleasure to work with.

Very helpful
Dr Altchek is great. The appointment I made was seamless and the staff here is very friendly. The doctor was direct and to the point. Gave me a list and cream sold directly by his office and also prescribed some meds to be taken collectively so that whatever problem I had can be effectively taken care of. Overall I'm very satisfied with this office would definitely recommend anyone looking for a dermatologist to pay this office a visit. They also accept most insurance.
