About Me
Dr. Sam Altstein is a board certified primary care physician and works at Mount Sinai Doctors-Chelsea
I treat a wide range of medical conditions with a special interest in disease prevention for: heart disease, mental health problems, smoking/alcohol reduction, sexually transmitted infections (STDs) and cancer. I am an active athlete in a wide range of activities and genuinely adhere to the guidance that I offer to my patients of adhering to healthy nutrition, daily exercise and attention to my own emotional well-being. My medical practice is a balance of working in the office and via telehealth. I find this model to be an excellent way to provide best care for my patients.
I am very interested in working with you to help you maximize your health and quality of life.
The state of Florida requires out-of-state professionals who are registered to provide telehealth services to display a hyperlink to the Florida Department of Health telehealth web page. This allows Florida patients who are receiving medical care by telehealth to confirm the provider’s licensure and Florida registration.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
