Dr. Altug misdiagnosed a family member. Had we not sought a second opinion her treatment would have been devastating. It appeared, that she did not review pertinent information before or during our appointments. In addition, her practice was heartless, having a nurse call to give information about a diagnosis that was very serious, instead of calling herself.
