Dr. Altenburg is married and has a 9 year old son. After growing up in Southern Oregon and spending most of his training in the Midwest, Dr. Altenburg loves being back to the northwest to practice medicine. Though his training could have mandated of him to work in a big academic training center, he chose to bring his skills and his passion for orthopedic care to a smaller city with a sense of community. He enjoys hunting, fishing and skiing and spending time with his family. *** |
