DME Coordinator, BayCare Homecare

We have used Altra Service for a number of years and cannot say enough good things about the quality of service we receive. The entire staff is professional, courteous and always helpful. Our company deals with a heavy volume of concentrators so Altra is called upon on a weekly basis for repairs which they handle efficiently and effectively. We will continue to work with Altra as long as we need that service and I recommend them to everyone in need of respiratory equipment repairs. 5 Stars!!

Altra Service is top notch. Previously, we had to box up and ship all of our broken equipment out for patient repair. Altra is a full service provider that picks up our equipment when we need it done. Altra is always on top of the situation and ensures that our equipment comes back in a timely manner, clean and repaired. They are a great time-saver and can take the burden out of the situation. Altra Service has made my life easier in this busy world of DME.

After being awarded a very large government contract taking care of our veterans; we were in need of a biomed company for our medical equipment repairs and maintenance. In December 2012 we were fortunate enough to find ALTRA SERVICE PROEFESSIONALS. Owner Bob DeChello and his team have delivered excellent service for our company. We are very confident in their ability and expertise to maintain all of our medical equipment. Their professionalism, knowledge and customer service are beyond reproach. I would highly recommend ALTRA SERVICE PROFESSIONALS, INC. for all your equipment needs and repairs.
