I was saddened and shocked when I moved back to this area in 2014 to hear that Dr. Altman had died.
I worked in Delray Hospital on the PCU floor 1988-1995. Dr Altman loved his patients and was very dedicated to patients in his care.
I knew exactly when and where his charts should be and admired his dedication to his profession.
He truly loved his family and would bring the little ones to the hospital on his weekend rounds. He will be missed.

I can not believe it's been a year! We all miss you very much. I will never find another doctor who cared so much about his patients. I miss that fatherly advice you always gave me!

It's been 8 months since your untimely death. It is still impossible to believe. There is no replacement for you, Fred; not as a doctor or a friend...I am sure many others continue to feel the same shock and sorrow that I feel. Rest in peace Fred. You will never be forgotten!!

Too sad to believe...how can someone so beloved and special leave so soon? Fred was the most special person I have ever met. He was a brilliant and caring physician, a most generous man and loving father. What a tragic time! My love to his family, may they find peace in his rememberance. Rest in Peace and may you find your way to eternal bliss.

Dr. Fred Altman was one of the most interesting doctors I have ever met. I met him the third week of May of 2011 while I was hospitalized at Boca Regional. We became great friends. He was a very different type of doctor... He really cared about his patients. I never had a doctor with a concierge service. Where he was available 24/7 at any time I recommended this particular service to another doctor of mine, but he never came through with the idea. It's going to be impossible to find a replacement for Fred. He was one of a kind. I will always remember him. I am deeply sorry that he suddenly passed away he had so many things to do, and that he left undone. You could see his joy when he spoke to me about his family he was a fortunate man in having his wife and kids. He was so proud of all of them. He was unique. I will miss you always... I think about you all the time... I really hope that you may rest in peace, and that some day again our paths will come together, and we all can cherish those beautiful short moments together. Hoping others can learn to be like you by following your example may you be granted the Kingdom of Heaven, and may God have you at his side. You where a wonderful person, and you still are that same person in my thoughts every day God took you away too soon. There are lots of things that happen for a reason although many times we really do not understand those reasons, but God has his own plan for each one of us. God Bless you where ever you may be, and keep an eye on all of us especially your family which must be going through a very rough time. My Love goes out to all of them including all your office staff which are very dear to me. Thank You for everything!!!

He is and will always be remembered by me as a great person, doctor, and boss.

August 9, 2012

There are no words to express the depth of despair I feel over the loss of such a wonderful human being. I can not remember ever bumping into Dr. Altman when he did not have a smile on his face. So full of energy, so full of joy and always, so full of kindness. He was truly a mensch. I have never met a person who was always willing and able to help others, while asking nothing in return. He did
G-d's work and for that, may he rest in peace in Heaven. G=d Bless his wonderful family, especially his 3 beautiful, talented and intelligent children of whom he spoke always.
You should know that you all mae him very proud and he loved each one of you. We will all miss you Dr. Altman, RIP...

The Altman Family:

I am writing this note to let you know how special a doctor and friend "Dr. Fred" was to me, a 77-year-old cardiac patient. He made me feel good when I was in his presence. Why was that?

He gave me confidence. I felt I was in the hands of a capable and well-respected physician, someone who cared about me, who gave me his time and attention, and who focused on my health and well being.

He was my "teacher." He encouraged me to enjoy life to the fullest, to continue to stay engaged and active, to travel to wherever I wished to go (even to China which we discussed just a matter of weeks ago), and not to be concerned -- "just do it."

He was my political sparring partner. He was passionate about the correctness of his political views but always willing to listen patiently (no pun intended) to my views even when they collided with his.

He was a dedicated medical professional.

He was proud of his children and their accomplishments. His face beamed with delight when he recounted his daughter's recent graduation from George Washington University. I kvelled along with him.

I will miss him greatly as will all of the members of his "other family," his patients, friends, and office staff. All of us have you in our thoughts and prayers and share in your loss.

Beth and Family,

We just heard that Dr. Altman, the most well regarded, well respected and loved Doctor is gone. Dr. Altman saved the life of my husband and kept us healthy and alive. He was the "Doctor of the Century" and we loved him as a friend. He cared about our family and we know that he would be happy to know that our daughter is expecting. He was always concerned, and we know that he would be happy and smiling. We were calling him to share the happy news. Words just can't say how much we loved him and will miss him. Our sincere sympathy goes to the Altman family, Beth, Kim, Erica and Scott and his parents, sibling and office family.

Ron and Roslyn Davis, Boynton Beach

The untimely death of Fred Altman is a shock to the world. He was my doctor, friend, and confidant for fifteen years. We had a rare personal relationship both sharing our deepest innermost thoughts, actions and pending actions. Fred and I spoke two (2) or three (3) times a week, for years. The bond and rapport we had can never be replaced.
I give my condolences to his extended family from my heart and soul.

Robert Morrow

July 24, 2012

There is no language in the universe that can do justice to what we feel or what we want to say to each other concerning the untimely loss of a multi-talented physician and human being. We have a great feeling of inadequacy in even attempting to applaud the life of a wonderful man and caring doctor. No one should ever forget Fred Altman. He wanted to make everyone smile, be well and happy. We have fond memories of how Fred touched our lives. How he made us laugh and how good he was as a caring cardiologist. While it's quite difficult not to shed tears, we are thankful that we were given the chance to have known him.
Fred will forever be missed, but at the right time and place, we will all meet Fred again and while walking or talking a mile-a-minute, he'll ask how we're feeling and make us laugh to tears again.
When all is said and done, it was not only the years in Fred's life that count…it was the life he lived, and how it affected all those he loved, befriended and of course tended to their medical needs during those years.
Ina & Bob Morrow

Dr. Altman was not only my boss but was also my friend and a father figure to me. He was always there for me and my daughter who he loved to watch play and would eat gummybears with. I will miss walking in the office and seeing him or hearing him call my name or hearing his laugh. I could go on and on about what and how much I will miss him. My heart goes out to his wife and kids. Love you doc!!!!

Dear Beth, Kim, Erica and Scott - Seth and I were so very sorry to hear of Fred's sudden death. We just ran into him in the parking lot of Delray Hospital a few weeks ago while Seth's father was dying peacefully at Hospice. Always funny and always a kind word. And Seth and I were so hoping to catch up with old friends when we move back to Delray permanentl;y after a 10-year hiatus in Miami Beach! Seth had many good laughs with Fred over the years. We will surely never forget the times we got together (especially Checca Lodge and that wildest of Bas Mitzvah's). With much sorrow, love Seth and Susan Dmitrovsky

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Fred's death. Although many years removed from our Haverford Class of 1970, with my own brother (Class of 69)also a doctor who, too, made Florida his home, my sister who remained fiends with Karen, and cousins who raved of Fred's skills and comfort as their cardiologist, I always felt the connection was never totally severed. To leave both children and parents is more thn tragic. My warmest wishes and deep condolences to the entire Altman family. Respectfully,
