I met Dr. Sidika Altop a few weeks ago when I went to Emsey Hospital for acute chest pain. I only have positive things to say about her because she has done an outstanding job treating my problem. Dr. Altop recommended surgery and conducted it flawlessly. She has also offered exceptional post-operative care. She is, undoubtedly, a fantastic surgeon.
