Working closely with leading physicians throughout the tri-state area, Altman and doctor identify patients’ specific hormone restoration needs.

What sets Altman apart from other compounding pharmacists is his integrative approach to women’s health and his philosophy of treating the whole person. “Balance is the key and since every woman is different I am able to tailor the regimen to fit the individual patient.” Altman and his staff of pharmacists are members of IACP and PCCA and are graduates of The National Association of Compounding Pharmacists.
