"I've always had a positive experience, whether seeing Dr. Altug or one of her assistants. They always treat me with respect and are friendly while remaining professional. They are always happy to answer any questions and explain things so they are understandable. The only drawbacks are the time you sometimes have to wait for an appointment, and their phone system. You can never speak to anyone, but always have to leave a message and someone will call you back. I am not a fan of that system."
"Dr Altug always listens to everything you have to say and does not just blow you off which is part of the battle. And she has helped me more than any doctor has she is fantastic"

The front desk, her sweet nurse, her PA, the ultrasound tech, Jackie (the IV nurse)…all of them were so kind and sensitive to my fears and concerns and went the extra mile to make me feel calm and comfortable. I will never seek another GI doctor, she is amazing!!!"
"I have been seeing Dr Alto for many years. She was the only doctor that has ever been able to diagnose and find a treatment for my digestive tract issue. The only negative statement that I would make is it because she is a very good doctor and has so many very happy patients you must plan ahead quite a bit ahead to schedule your appointments with her."
"It is a very professional office but they also make you feel very comfortable. Dr. Altug is great and very thorough I have been very pleased with the care I have recieved.."
"Everyone in the office was professional and friendly. Dr. Altug was thorough ~ she answered all of my questions patiently and completely! I am thrilled that I found her!"
"Dr Altug is a wonderful doctor. I would have given 5 stars but my appt was at 8:45 and I didn't see her until almost 10... Revised 2023 Dr Altug is still a wonderful doctor and I saw her on time!"
"Dr.Altug is lovely. She has a great “bed side” manner and I felt like she listened to me. However, I almost missed out on the chance to use her as my doctor because whomever she uses as their appointment scheduler is rude and awful to deal with. I wish I would have written her name down so the one bad apple doesn’t spoil it for everyone. Sadly, I’ve read other peoples reviews on various sites and this has been mentioned previously."
"I've always had a positive experience, whether seeing Dr. Altug or one of her assistants. They always treat me with respect and are friendly while remaining professional. They are always happy to answer any questions and explain things so they are understandable. The only drawbacks are the time you sometimes have to wait for an appointment, and their phone system. You can never speak to anyone, but always have to leave a message and someone will call you back. I am not a fan of that system."
"Dr. Altug is always a great person to talk with and she takes her time to listen. I have had the pleasure of referring her to others as well. The office staff was courteous, but didn’t seem to want to smile at all…sometimes when others feel like they know what will be happening after talking with a doctor, a smile would be nice, with the courteous attitude."
"Dr. Altug has been my gastroenterologist for @ 20 years. I know her to be a caring person who takes the time to talk to her patients about test results, procedures, and treatment protocols.

"Dr Altug was highly recommended to me by another medical professional. She did not have an opening for some time but after reviewing my medical history, she agreed to see me the next day. During our first meeting she was very patient, and did not rush through my appointment. She really listened to my long list of problems and immediately took action. We now have a plan to diagnose my problems and start a treatment plan. She took time today to visit with me post EGD procedure and answered my questions before I was discharged. My wife and I both will be using Dr Altug as our GI Dr and highly recommend her to others."
"I was very impressed with Dr. Altug. I had a bad experience several years ago with another doctor. Dr. Altug made me feel comfortable in her abilities to do her job. Thank you Dr. Altug for your compassion and expertise."
"My office visit to Dr. Altug for some GI system problems went very well. There was no appreciable wait time before I got in to see her. I have had several EGDs and Colonoscopies. All were very positive experiences. I'd highly recommend Dr. Altug to anyone suffering from GI problems."
"Dr Altug has been my doctor for a few years now , and I highly recommend her to anyone. I find her very professional, but also caring , and makes you feel like you are her only patient. Every question I have asked was answered honestly without any “ attitude” and she puts you at your ease , and goes above and beyond to explain medical situations without a patronizing voice . A very nice person in my opinion. Highly recommend."
"I am 79 yrs old and would not think of using any other gastroenterologist. I have had her as my doctor for close to 25 years. Hope she does not mind me telling how long I have been going to her. However, she was very young when I first needed her help. She is smart along with being caring and patient with me."
"I’ve seen Dr. Altug for several years and I would recommend her to anyone who has GI problems.

"I've been a patient of Dr Altug for years and she is one of the most caring doctor in today world. She spends time listening before she jumps to solutions. I pray I have her more many years to come."
"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. S. Altug did a great job with my first office visit for my health exam. She explained everything to me in a very clear manner. She was also kind and friendly. All of the staff was great – they were helpful, patient I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a Gastroenterologist."
