Altura Centers for Health has been providing medical and dental care to the community since 1995. Historically the clinic was formerly owned and operated by Tulare Local Health Care District. It was purchased from Tulare District Hospital (TDH) on July 1998. 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.

Services
We offer a wide range of services, from pediatrics to dentistry. Our mission is to help you maintain a high quality of life through best
health practices, and our entire staff is dedicated to this goal.
Family Medicine
Our family practice providers include a team of medical doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners who provide comprehensive and continuing health treatment and case management for the entire family. Internal medicine physicians are specialists who apply knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex diseases. We provide immunizations and a multitude of health screenings, including but not limited to: Hemoglobin A1C, blood glucose, anemia, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, basic lab and diagnostics.
Pediatrics
Our pediatricians provide care from birth through adolescence and are prideful in delivering quality medical care with a family centered approach. Services include: Well child exam, physical activity and nutrition assessment, pediatric cardiology, circumcision, immunizations, sport physicals, sick visits, and developmental and behavioral problems.
Our Pediatricians can help adolescents transition to adult health care through our collaborative care process, seamlessly and efficiently.
Obstetrics
Whether you’re a first time mother-to-be or experienced in pregnancy, we will be with you every step of the way, beginning with your prenatal care all the way through the delivery of your baby(s). Please keep in mind that no two pregnancies are alike! Our number one concern is to see that you are provided with the very best care possible. Our expertise includes the management of low risk to high risk pregnancies in a personalized manner. We recognize that patients and families should be encouraged to express preferences in their birth experience, and we strive to make your pregnancy and birth experience safe and rewarding.
We care for women of all ages, from adolescence through geriatrics. While many women come to us for primary gynecologic care including annual exams and pap smears, we also have expertise in contraceptive choices, family planning, and traditional and minimally invasive gynecological surgery. We care for women throughout their lives and have expertise in menopausal management with and without medication use, and also health issues which women encounter as they age. Our services cover the entire spectrum of gynecologic care including pre-conceptual, infertility, contraception and menopausal counseling as well as treatment. We strongly recommend that you have a preventative examination on a yearly basis. This examination includes a breast, abdominal and pelvic exam and a pap smear for most. Ensuring good gynecological health throughout your life – from the teen years to the post-menopausal years – is our specialty.
Dental
Our Dental Team provides preventative services, examinations, x-ray services, periodontal evaluation and treatment, fluoride treatments, and teeth cleaning. Selective root canal treatment and endodontic surgery.
Our Dentists are committed to extending services to our school based sites by providing dental assessments and oral hygiene instructions. Our team also does speaking presentations for career day programs and at our health fairs. Several of our providers are fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. We accept most insurance plans, as well as a sliding fee scale program.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors can help relieve neck and back pain through manual manipulation of the spine. As one of the alternatives to pain-relieving drugs, chiropractic treatment may also help with other musculoskeletal related pain. The ultimate goal of chiropractic care is to help relieve and manage pain. We offer weekday and weekend appointments. No referral is needed, so patients can easily make an appointment by directly calling or texting our Call Center at (559)686-9097.
Behavioral Health
Specialty Services
Altura Centers for Health provides a variety of specialty care services to patients through referrals. Specialty care includes experienced providers in: ophthalmology, podiatry, neurology, general surgery, otorhinolaryngology (ENT), orthopedics, nephrology, geriatrics, hematology/oncology, and endocrinology.

Bad experience with Dr. Luthra, she made me feel unheard when I was explaining the pain I’m experiencing in my knee and she was so unhelpful and rude she literally left the room while I was still talking to her. So unprofessional.

This clinic Altura has a lot to work out first of all it take over 30 minutes to schedule a appointment there referral department is terrible in figuring out doctors orders and Everytime I see Dr Puente his always running behind I’m not talking about minutes he’s always running hours behind I suggest either they pull it together and figure things out or for many of there patients find a different clinic where they will put there needs first for your own health Altura as of right now there worse the Family Health Care and the provide a terrible service too.

I love this clinic and the doctors are excellent. Unfortunately, the receptionist Nereyda is consistently rude and unfriendly, which negatively affects the overall experience
