Dr. Alter was no nonsense and very efficient in my interaction with him. He told me the pros and cons of the operation and allowed me to decide. What I liked the best was that he was on time and did not keep me waiting. He appeared when the appointment was scheduled and he got me out of the office with a minimum of delay. My operation was a success with a very good recovery and for that I am appreciative.

He is all business; excellent care. I needed to see a specialist now for a hand (non-dominant side) problem so was thankful I had known him from a previous injury (fractured humerus and ulna on my dominant side): a complex injury that I sometimes wonder if I'd have recovered so well from if I had received treatment from another orthopedic surgeon. I've regained complete function of the affected arm and hand, following his surgical and post-op treatment.

Dr. Alter was rude, lacked a bedside manner, personality and was not sensitive to any of my concerns. I felt as if I was interrupting his day by having him examine me. I don't feel like he fully looked into my concerns and brushed it off my symptoms. I will proceed a more professional doctor.

Dr Alter performed bilateral (both hands at once) carpal tunnel surgery in Nov 2105. During the consultation, Dr Alter was very clear on the pros and cons of bilateral surgery and I decided that I wanted to have both hands corrected at the same time and not drag it out over 2+ weeks.Overall I am very pleased with the procedure, Dr Alter, the results and the decision to have bilateral done, eliminating another visit to the operating room and speeding up recovery.
