Dr. Altman is an avid gardener. She spends much of her free time attending to her floral gardens at her home in Livingston, NJ. “I regard my vocation and avocation as a direct result of being a highly visual person,” says Dr. Altman. She draws similarities between her two passions, dermatology and gardening. Both require nurturing, proper diet and suitable environmental factors in order to thrive. This love and talent for both dermatology and aesthetics naturally led to the addition of laser and cosmetic dermatology at Dr. Altman’s practice.
