Dr Altstadt ascended our expectations for a neurosurgeon. When I presented with a rapidly evolving problem, he took the time to explain what was happening and fit me in. One month out, I am recovering and expect to be back to myself soon.

I saw Dr. Altstadt after a referral from the VA in Louisville. He has done two surgical procedures on me in the past, and I am confident in his abilities for my current need.
