My teen children have seen Dr. Alter multiple times. For the first, very basic injury, the visits were brief and straightforward, and gave us no pause to return with the more complex injury a year later. This injury was rare, and had been correctly diagnosed in an ER, but Dr. Alter wanted to confirm it for himself, which is completely understandable. However, he was dismissive of what the patient described as having happened in the ER and insisted it wasn’t possible, even though we’d witnessed it on 3D X-ray, and he couldn’t... read more

Dr. Alter was excellent in every way. He even brought humor to a humorless humourous. It was good to laugh for the first time in weeks. It helpsled ease the pain for a bit.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident, causing severe damage to my hand and wrist. I am so thankful I was referred to Dr. Alter. Without Dr. Alter, I don’t if I would have functioning hand today. The surgery was long and complex but very successful. A year later, Dr. Alter is still supporting me and my rehab. He is not just an amazing surgeon, he also always puts his patients first.

Dr. Alter has performed 3 surgeries for me. Every surgery resulted in complete relief. He is attentive during appointments and is aware of the need for the patient to be listened to and assured. He’s the best. I trust him completely to care for me as I get older and need more attention. A

Dr. Alter is an excellent doctor! We couldn’t have had a better doctor taking care of my mother. He took care of getting OT & PT through Tufts care at home and answered all of our questions. When we would arrive at the office everyone was caring and friendly. We would wait no longer than 5 minutes at the most to be called in. We highly recommend Dr. Alter.

This journey started at one of the more prominent orthopedic facilities in New Hampshire that really dropped the ball. Got a word of mouth recommendation and made an appt. Busy spot, so it's in the best interest to get there early. A quick xray (along with my MRI disc)set the table for Dr. Alter, as well as his fantastic RN-Assistant who jumped in when things were getting busy. She was great in explaining everything, while not the greatest of news, she took the time to ease me and show her extensive knowledge. Dr. Alter came... read more

Dr Alter was amazing. Very knowledgable . Some might like a more personable Dr, I want a good technical Dr that has great knowledge and expects hard work from the patient to get them back to normal.

I went in with an xray of a broken ankle and a referral from my PCP. I was in pain and he spent 3 min with me and said we will just say you have tendonitis! I asked about wearing the boot (which didnt fit!) and when and he said “whenever you feel like it”. no specifics and super vague! Awful manner with me. Yet he went into the patient across the hall and spent plenty of time with him since he rushed out of my visit. I got a second opinion and myankle fracture was treated appropriately. Bad doctor!! stay away!
