Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful
I had a great experience with Dr. Albert. He took my description of my problem seriously, had dealt with similar cases, and discussed my options carefully and clearly. He fully explained the range of possible results. This was not a typical procedure and was a bit of a gamble on efficacy but it did the job it needed to do. The surgery went well and I had a quick and almost painless recovery. I found Dr. Albert and his team an absolute pleasure to work with.

I have waited several years before leaving this review to be sure I was objective. Dr. A. operated on me for spinal stenosis about 4 years ago. I came in with a relatively minor problem of some loss of coordination in my legs, and troublesome pins and needles in both feet. I was walking normally. After surgery both legs were numb from the knee down and I could not stand or walk. It has taken me several years to partially recover, but I am left with a permanent disability, walking with a cane. Dr. A. did not tell me this might be a possible outcome. I debated at length about a malpractice suit but did not want that kind of emotional aggravation in my life. I am a physician myself.

He is an excellent surgeon and a kind, compassionate man. I had a previous fusion (by another surgeon) and needed another level fused after 7 years. He determined the best way to deal with this and did a great job. His staff are also great to deal with.

i came for appointment with Dr Albert in July 2019 with severe Left leg pain, was unable to walk without crutches due to nerve impingement. Dr Albert recognized my problem right away, performed surgery on me. Next day after surgery i was able to walk outside without assistance devices. he is high level professional in his area of expertise, as well as very nice person. Also i have to mention his staff, who provided high level of care. everything was well organized and supportive. I would highly recommend Dr Albert to my friends and family

Dr. Albert preformed neck surgery on me, April 2013, had severe damage and compression of my spinal cord it coused falls, headaches, severe pains in my upper extremities and lower. Was referred by a Pain Dr of Scranton Pa. to Dr. Albert of the Rothman Institute. A friendly Dr. He took his time explaining the pros and cons and the risks of the surgery and of not having it. The surgery was successful, recuperation fast. Eternally grateful to Dr Albert and his staff. God Bless his gifted hands.

I was in a car accident over 2 years ago. I had 3 opions . I had an appointment with Dr Todd Albert from HSS hospital he took his time explaining everything to me but wanted me to take some more tests he was very thorough. I was in excruciating pain. My left hand was totally numb my neck was in pain and both my arms were in a lot of pain.. I was so afraid to have cervical spine surgery. Fusion 4-7 Im so happy. I went through with the surgery. Thank you Dr Albert for giving me my life back!

Dr. Albert and his staff provide an extremely high level of care. He is the consummate professional in his area of expertise. Not only is he an excellent doctor, he is a very well grounded human being. As a patient, I feel both confident in his surgical abilities and his personal caring approach to my surgical needs.I have recommended him to a number of my friends and coworkers.

Great experience with Dr Albert. Able to quickly identify the issue, explain the options, and benefits & risks of surgery. Surgery was as expected. Great surgeon surrounded by an equally excellent supporting cast.
