Dr. Altmanwas graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, received his MD degree from the New York University School of Medicine, and then on to Harvard for internship and residency. He maintained a practice for 34 years in Boston where he was appointed Assistant Clinical Professor of Obstetrics Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School. In 2007 Dr. Altman moved to Aspen, Colorado, where his practice specializes in peri and post menopausal care, hormonal therapy and women’s sexual function and dysfunction. A number of years ago, Dr Altman stopped accepting any medical insurance because he felt that his time with patients was being limited and controlled by the managed care restrictions of insurance companies. This has allowed him to spend at least an hour with each patient during the initial consultation so that patients are comfortable and have plenty of time to talk, listen and learn. Follow-up visits are as long as needed, either in person or by phone.

Dr. Altman is a Past President of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH), the foremost academic and clinical research society dedicated solely to women’s sexual function and dysfunction. He is an ISSWSH Fellow, a member of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). In 2000, Dr. Altman’s first book was published, “Making Love the Way We Used to…or Better; The secrets to satisfying mid life sexuality.” Dr Altman has been well known throughout his career as an educator both of patients, medical students, residents and physicians including gynecologists, gynecologic nurse practitioners and primary care providers. He is an internationally known lecturer, still very actively lecturing and teaching throughout the country. Dr Altman is also well known for providing “telemedicine” phone consultations for women around the country who do not have access to a specialist like himself.
