Altura first became a Federal Qualified Look A-Like Clinic in 1997 and in 2000 became a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), and is a deemed federal public health service employee. In addition, the clinic is a 501 (C) 3 Non-profit Organization. Altura is governed by a committed Volunteer Community Board of Directors which meet once a month and serve on several committees. The majority of the Board of Directors are patients of Altura. Hence, it is a clinic governed by its patients as well as community.

    Horrible phone service. I’ve been on hold for half an hour. They should really hire more staff because there’s obviously not enough workers to do that simple task. I will definitely be switching clinics.

    5 star employees, 5 star doctors, 2 star text service, 1 star phone service. I really needed to contact a nurse because my pharmacy contacted me with an issue but sat on hold for over 45 minutes. No one answered. I've sent texts before that went an entire day with no answer. I finally called the following day and waited another hour and finally got to make an appointment. The people there are great (except one kooky doctor who prescribed chicken soup and sent me home to be seriously sick for 10 days). I do love altura, but I have some reservations about the management (and one loco doctor).

    Dr. Wu is my primary. He’s so kool; he is attentive and listens to his patients. He acknowledges your pain. He is genuinely concerned and searches for ways to resolve any issues. I appreciate having him in my corner. Staff is cordial. The only complaint is the coldness at the reception desk. There are no smiles. Their voices hint at boredom. Definitely do not feel welcome here until I’m in the room and Dr. Wu comes in with a smile and friendly acknowledgment. Medical records, once they realize there might be an issue immediately takes care of it. Van transportation is available door to door and I’m very grateful for that. My favorite driver is Tony because he has a great personality and I enjoy shocking him with stories of my travels. He is a safe driver. Maria is also a good driver but she’s so overfully careful she’s gonna burn them brakes out.😂
