“This was my first time using Zocdoc, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. It was also my first visit with Dr. Albano, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease.
Dr. Albano was not only well-informed but also had an excellent bedside manner—a true breath of fresh air! He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable. My mom was so happy with the care she received, and seeing her reassured and smiling made me happy, too. I'm grateful for such a positive experience and will definitely continue using Zocdoc for future appointments.”

My experience at Dr. Alabano's practice was great. Even before getting there his office assistant was very caring, human and highly efficient. She was able to accommodate my needs as a patient. I really liked Dr. Albano. He showed real interest in my case, and he was very thorough and highly professional. He not only had X-Rays done on my leg, but went beyond and ordered a CT scan as part of my pre-ops. I highly recommend him.

Great, easy and professional. Dr. Albano made my feel comfortable and took time to listen and help my concerns. The ladies at reception were super kind and helpful. Great experience!
March 27, 2024Emma S.Verified patient
Apparently overbooking place… just two doctors but more than 15 patients waiting in the room… run 1.5 hours late… many rooms for two doctors so the time spending on a single patient is very very limited
