HEALING PHILOSOPHY:
Dr. Altman's believes that the best way to help people heal is through empowerment. The term “doctor” comes from the latin word docēre, meaning "to teach”. This is also one of the principles of naturopathic medicine. Dr. Altman utilizes the “docēre” principle by educating, supporting and guiding others on their own path to optimal health.
Transforming Digestive Wellness
Dr. Altman is a firm believer that digestive health is the basis of the overall health of the human body. The more we learn about the microbiome and the more non-gastrointestinal conditions are linked to gut microbiome imbalances, the stronger this connections grows. Dr. Altman’s goal is to help as many people as possible achieve their highest potential through optimizing gut health. She utilizes many different avenues to achieve this goal including patient care and continuing education and mentorship in gastrointestinal conditions for medical students, residents, and physicians.
A modern approach
Dr. Altman utilizes telemedicine and video-conferencing in addition to in-person medical visits to provide flexible and accessible care and education.
