Gary Alter, MD

I, too, did a telephone interview with Dr Alter. He requested photos, and collected a $ 100 fee in advance, which, I think is very fair to speak with a surgeon of his caliber. He called me at the scheduled time, and gave me his full attention; despite being under the weather. Dr. Alter is focused on his practice and his patients. I would recommend him to anyone. Perhaps, the other reviewer misunderstood the amount of the consultation fee, as being $ 450? I was quoted $ 100 by his office, and that’s what I was charged, with the option of applying the $ 100 to the cost of my procedure. Dr. Alter is one of the best in his business, and offers hope to those needing difficult surgeries.

I sent this Doctor an email to ask about a consultation since i am considering forhead feminization and the reply was quick: he wanted pictures of the front of my face and the side. I teplied if i could set up an actual consultation to speak with him in person and got a reply from what i assume is his assitant that i could call the number, and make an appointment. Ok, sounded cool. But then she continued asking for a $ 450 payment for the consultation wich would be applied to my surgery (because for some reason they assumed i was going to go ahead and choose them) and i replied with a no thanks. I dont know why there should be such a high price to talk to the doctor. I understand his time is precious, but so is my money. He must be out of his mind to think i will be paying that amount for what i assume is a 30 talk with him.
0 stars if that were a possibility.

I’m truly impressed with him!
He personally responds to his e-​mails AND ON A SUNDAY, and his fees seem to me to be MORE than reasonable for the particular plastic surgery that I need.
He is Board Certified as BOTH a Plastic Surgeon AND a Urologist, so that means that he has shown his peers that he is terrific at what he does and completely trustworthy.
Once I have the needed surgery, I’ll update this review.
In the meantime, if you need what he offers, I’d unhesitatingly give him a call.
