5.0 star star star star starTreated me like an individual. Sat down and looked me in the eyes and had a real conversation about my health. Made me feel important and he addressed all my questions without making me feel like "I was taking up his time". He took the time with professionalism.

5.0 star star star star starHe took the time to explain to me what was going on from our very first meeting, the day of surgery and my after follow up appointment. I never felt rushed, and I felt that he truly was listening to my concerns. He was friendly and professional when explaining everything.

He listens and provides answers to your questions.... and remembers in follow up visits. Very positive which helps to develop confidence prior to surgery and during recovery. Thank You.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Altimari took the time and explained all my options in great detail. One of the best doctors I have ever had a chance to meet. He is honest and I respect his vision on how to proceed with surgery and pros and cons on the outcome.
Disclosures
Anthony F. Altimari, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
