Dr. Dorothea Altschul

… and prevented any negative impact on the quality of my life.
I had a blood clot in my brain - I was having a stroke! In less than 2 hours after arriving at Valley ER , Dr. Altschul & her team had me in surgery.
I am so grateful Dr Altschul was at Valley that day. A week later I was in her office where she explained in detail (with images) the procedure and reiterated procedures & tests I need to find the cause of the massive incident.
Thanks to Dr Altschul I have quality time with my family. My life, so far, isn’t too short.

Willing to explain all options was not rushed

Really very postive experience

This doctor is outstanding!!!

My wife and I were very nervous about this appointment but she came highly recommended. Dr Altschul certainly did not disappoint.

She was so professional yet so compassionate. Dr Altschul explained everything with such simplicity that we finally really understood my problem and where it is in my brain.

We are very confident our plan of care is the best for the time being. She laid out a course of conservative action for now but explained the next step if necessary.

Her staff is also so kind and very professional.

I could not recommend her more highly!

very thoughtful and knowledgeable and nice

Dr Altschul handled my complicated case with care and took adequate time to explain my situation, the process and effectively managed my surgery.

After a most proficient process of getting patient to doctor in good time. The patient was more than fortunate to have had Dr. Altschul available, to complete the success of this patient's (a stroke victim) event.
Dr. Altschul met with me after her surgery of removing a clot from the brain of the patient. She was very personable & professional..took the time to show me the condition before & after surgery, with clear explanation. She was reassuring, but of course mentioned there are never guarantees..Well. I have to say the patient made marked improvement in days..Remarkable..The only problem, if you call it a problem, in the scope of things of what could have been is..his speech pattern..which varies from ok to quivering. I'm sure that will be restored like all else has. Rave reviews for this wonderful person. Oddly, enough another person we know, who was treated the SAME DAY, by her also had more rave reviews for her..God and she are a great team....ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. JOHN LAW

Dr Altschul explains clearly my condition, proposed treatment and expectations

Dr Altschul is very calming and knowledgeable. She has a great bedside manner

She is great.

Very good

My experience was absolutely excellent!
I finally found the right doctor who knows about my condition. She is very intelligent and explains things in a very precise manner. I would highly recommend her.

She was very clear and on rushed. Made me feel good about having hear work on me.

Dr. Altschul took the time to explain and answer questions regarding two different diagnostic imaging tests. She recognizes that no two patients have identical medical and personal circumstances, so taking the time to know a patient well is very important to me. She was also open about the relative risks and benefits of potential treatments.

It was a great experience with Dr. Altschul. She gave us our results in a manner that we could understand fully, answered all our questions, provided us with our options and let us decide the next approach. She also went above and beyond the call of duty to follow up with my primary to schedule a needed appointment. Her staff was very delightful and provide great customer service

Throriugh follow up telemedicine visit. Dr. Was kind, responsive, respectful & comprehensive in her thoughts, ideas, expectations, suggestions & opinions.

Clear thorough explanation and really concerned for me and my health

I first must express my appreciation to Lilian Oyola, Dr. Altschul’s assistant. She helped me every step of the way, always in a prompt and professional manner. This was my first virtual appointment and getting everything to her that she needed was a definite challenge for me!
Dr. Altschul was as wonderful as she always is. She calmed me down, discussed the results of my MRA, gave me my options. I did not feel rushed...it was almost as good as being in the office with her. I highly recommend her, she’s the best!

Dr. Altschul’s surgery was so successful my husband has recovered 100% from his stroke.
