Dermatologists who are Physicians - Davie, FL

"The doctor is a nice person, but his staff is absolutely horrible, and that reflects on him. From the moment you get there it is just rudeness and disregard. They charge for procedures that they didn't do. Staff doesn't listen to patience they just see the system disregarding what an actual human being is telling them, and the PA doctors are unfamiliar with common medical procedures like the difference between a puncture and a mole removal. The most appalling thing of all is that the billing department does not respect the the medical information privacy, and this is against the law. They sent me a bill with details of medical procedures done to my husband. This is just unacceptable and unlawful. I will never come back and I recommend you don't go to this doctor. His practice should be reported."

"It is important for us to document the experience with Dr. Altman for your records and awareness. Dr. Altma’s office is not prepared nor have the professionalism and etiquette to deal with patients under 12 years of age. Hygiene is certaily not a priority – Due to our experience it seems as if his personnel dislikes the resposibility to sanitize exam rooms after each patient. Dr. Altman lacks patience when dealing with children. On our first visit he left the room as he explained – “He Can’t deal with a uncooperating child – too much time”. ( My five year old was told he had to get a shot and naturally he became scared yet he did not cry). So he left the room, we had to ask his assistant to please ask him to return. On our last appointment, Lisa (Front desk/patient greeter) placed a paper on bathroom that read ‘OUT OF SERVICE’, this with the purpose so that my two children (3 and 5 years of age) do not have to use the restoom for potty (and as she said, it would not smell nor have the responsibility for her to throw the garbage out). The inside admin (Ashley) collaborated by informing us that we could use the Walgreens restroom – 5 miles away. Needeless to say, I was hurt and and in disbelief – especially when they heard my 5 year old saying he had to pee prior to photo therapy treatment. [The client after me happened to be my collegue and ofcourse she was granted access to the bathroom – confirming their intention]. This has been our first experience dealing with this office and doctor, I make you aware so that other families do not have to live through a moment as uncomfotable and emotionally painful. "

"The service was disappointing. They seem focused on creating unnecessary in-person visits. The doctor failed to include refills in my initial prescription, even though he acknowledged I would need them. When my prescription ran out, I called in and was instructed to have the pharmacy submit a refill request, only for it to be denied because it had been over a year since my first visit. This entire situation could have been avoided if the refill had been included as initially discussed. It would have allowed me to order the refill before the 1 year mark as I was running out of the topical ointment my skin needs. I’ll be seeking care elsewhere where my time and money are valued."
