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
