    Dr. Albert is an excellent pediatrician. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. My child is walking today because of Dr. Albert and now he is checking him for scoliosis. I cannot ask for a better doctor. Thank you very much.

    My daughter had an injury Saturday night, and we were able to get in on Monday to be evaluated. Dr. Albert took personal time out of his day to assess and treat my daughter. I greatly appreciate him being willing to give of his time and diagnosis her injury, so she is more rapidly on her way to healing. Thank you!

    Dr. Albert was very thorough. He had a nice sense of humor. He made both myself and my son feel comfortable. And the irony of the whole visit is he treated my daughter over 20 years ago when we transferred her care from New York. And he was still just as professional and as pleasant as he was when I met him many years ago. I would definitely recommend him to my family and my friends.

    Dr. Albert is the absolutely best. He performed my scoliosis surgery 16 years ago. Recently as an adult I’ve been experiencing chronic back pain resulting in sciatica. Even though I’m an adult, he squeezed me in same day appointment. Took the time to hear my issues, treated my concerns accordingly and provided amazing health care. The entire staff was friendly and listened to my concerns. Although I was in a lot of pain the entire time, they understood.
