About Andrew Altman

Biography

Dr. Andrew Altman is a dedicated urologist with a primary focus on the management of prostate diseases, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the minimally invasive interventions that treat it - such as UroLift and Greenlight laser therapy. Additionally, he plays an active role in our prostate brachytherapy program, which aims to effectively manage prostate cancer. Dr. Altman provides valuable support to radiation oncologists by performing transperineal SpaceOAR and gold fiducial placements for accurate treatment planning.

In addition to his expertise in BPH and prostate cancer, Dr. Altman exhibits a keen interest in the management of urinary stone disease. Furthermore, Dr. Altman has developed a high volume vasectomy practice and has performed thousands of these over the course of his career.

Dr. Altman is actively engaged in resident education, participating in surgical simulation instruction, ensuring that residents receive comprehensive training in the field.

Outside of his professional pursuits, Dr. Altman enjoys weight training and swinging kettlebells to maintain his physical fitness. He finds relaxation and enjoyment in attending live music shows, rooting on his Buffalo Bills, and spending time with his family.

Dr. Altman's expertise in managing prostate diseases, commitment to resident education, and diverse clinical interests make him a respected and valuable member of the urology community.

    It was my first appointment with Dr. Altman as my former doctor retired. I can say this was a very pleasant and thorough visit to Doctor Altman's office. The entire staff was thorough and professional as well. And very pleasant too. Everything moved along smoothly and orderly from one procedure to the next. I was in and out with a big smile on my face in no time. I'd like to say thank you to Dr, Altman and all the staff that helped me so kindly that day. I appreciate you.
