It feels rare to find a provider who listens to you *and* doesn’t make you feel shame about your weight/eating/exercise habits, but Dr. Altepeter delivers! There’s so much sketchy weight loss stuff out there—this is a practice that clearly cares about the patient’s overall health and wellness and takes the time to see you as an individual and treat you like whole person, not just a number on a scale.
Dr. Altepeter is thorough, knowledgeable and caring. She is up-to-date on all the latest research and she really enjoys diving into the science behind the medicine (which is especially helpful for my inquisitive teen.) Most importantly, she is approachable and kind. She takes your concerns seriously and with empathy.
