"There are not enough superlatives to accurately describe Dr. Altug and her staff. I have been seeing her for over 16 years. I switched over to her from another Gastro because he didn't seem to take a real interest in my condition or care. From day one, Dr. Altug had always made me feel as if she was treating a family member. She is VERY thorough when reviewing the state of my condition. I am convinced that had she not been my Doctor in 2009, I would have wound up with emergency surgery and very likely a colostomy bag at age 47. I made a phone call that day, and since she was aware of my history you got me in immediately and had a CT done that day. By that afternoon she called me personally and, after making a phone call to a colleague surgeon she sent me straight over to see him THAT DAY! I have no doubt she saved me from a much more complicated surgery and recovery but possibly even saved my life. She is really difficult to get into see but the wait is worth it, and once you're an established patient she makes every effort to get you into the office immediately for any urgent issues. I cannot say enough good things about her. She is my Gastroenterologist but she always makes me feel like a friend. This is a rare and disappearing quality in Healthcare today. I'm blessed to have met her!"
"Dr Altug and staff are fantastic! She is thorough, caring, and professional. She took the time to listen and validate my concerns. During my procedure, she identified an area of concern that many doctors would have missed. I received a follow-up call the next day, and results were back promptly. All in all, Dr. Altug and her team, made a procedure that most people shy away from (colonoscopy) into a rather comfortable one. I highly recommend and appreciate her!"
