Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2025
My family history includes Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration causing blindness. I switched from my former Ophthalmologist due to recommendations from others praising his expertise in senior eye diseases. I was so impressed by Dr Alterman’s bedside manner, his taking the time to explain everything about my needs and care and his knowledge is vast. I needed surgery and he fully walked me through the mechanics of the procedure and the recovery. Dr. Alderman always takes the time to answer all my questions and makes sure I understand what he says. I’m never rushed out of the office and never have my concerns minimized. Choosing Dr Alderman was an excellent decision. Thank You!
