Dr. Alterman was called in to explain the situation, and then to actually perform the procedure that broke up the clot. He also installed a stent to help with blood flow. I now have nearly 100% blood flow, and I owe this to Dr. Alterman. I am extremely appreciative for what he has done for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charles, age 59<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My experience with MSA was a pleasant one. The staff, nurses, and doctor were the best and took really good care of me. My doctors have all been super. A special thank you to Dr. Alterman who saved my leg. I would recommend MSA to anyone and everyone who has to have surgery. Thanks to everyone at MSA for taking care of me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>William, age 47<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My experience with Muskegon Surgical Associates was pleasant.
