Roger Altman's Online Review Report Card

There is a new doctor in the office now. Dr. Mirza is really great. He did a thorough skin exam and found carcinoma on my skin. I recommend this new doctor.

WORST DECISION I EVER MADE! Dr. Altman Roger was very rude to me when I explained my concerns during my appointment. There where 3 different girls that came in the room with him (which I found weird). I felt uncomfortable taking my clothes off in front of everyone and out of nowhere he lifted the back of my shirt and bra very very rough without my consent nor did he ask. May not be a big deal for some but this was not professional at all. He didn't even ask and I felt so violated. He made unprofessional comments about me finding another boyfriend because my boyfriend also suffers from dermatology issues. Worst experience of my life! Oh and my condition nor concerns where rectified during my appointment. So I paid to get violated and embarrassed pretty much. I would never take my child or an adult for that matter to this doctor EVER!! Find someone else!

Horrible experience with this doctor. The most insensitive physician I’ve ever met. Once he came to his diagnostic guess of my condition, he announced it loudly to the entire staff and nearby patients in the waiting room…..clearly a HIPAA violation. He didn’t care. Arrogant and uncaring. I went to another dermatologist for a 2nd opinion. Totally different opinion and result + positive experience.

My dermatologist did a couple biopsies, one turned out to be basal cell. I was referred to Dr. Altmans office for Mohs surgery. Being I had never been through this I was pretty nervous. Lyndsay could not of been more kind and went through the procedure and answered all my questions. Dr Altman did a great job, which was on my face just below my eye. He was very gentle and we talked about music during the procedure. If you are ever facedwith having to go through Mohs surgery, I highly recommend this office. .

The best, most professional service and staff you can get

The final disappointment with Dr. Altman’s office is that I am unable to give it a zero star rating. It is difficult to recommend his acumen as a surgeon, as I only saw him for a brief ten minutes, during which time he was unable to diagnose a simple contact dermatitis leg rash. He did, however, prescribe a prescription strength cortisone cream which, after almost a week has yet to be called into my pharmacy in spite of many calls to the office and two messages left on the prescription refill line. If one has the patience to wade through myriad options just to get a human voice and then be cut off while an attempt is made to locate one’s file, then this is the ideal office to visit.

First facial MOHS done at this office. No sutures. No instructions. Ugly nasty scar. Second MOHS done by a different dermatologist. Sutures. Specific instructions. Get recommended to minimize scar. Oh so glad I decided to have procedure done elsewhere.

Second Mohs done by a different dermatologist. So far looks like there will be minimal scaring, if at all, as compared to the procedure done at this office. This time I knew the questions to ask and was given very specific written instructions. A gel was recommended to apply after dissolving sutures are gone. Change can be good, as is the case here.

Had a MOHS procedure recently. No one in the office called as a follow up to find out how I'm doing. Not so with other doctor offices. Would be good common courtesy.

Basal cell by eye brow. Mohs performed. Rather large area cut. Only instruction was to leave bandage on for two days. Have been applying neosporin and keeping the (super ugly) area covered when away from the house. Tried to leave area uncovered four days later. Severe burning sensation. Supposedly have another basal cell on my forehead just above the nose. Will get a second opinion before I let Dr. Altman take yet another chunk out of me.
