The best doctor of my life. I've been seeing her for several years and whenever I need her, she's always ready to help me. I even recommended her to my mother, who recently arrived here. She's now also my mother's doctor, and she's excellent-an excellent professional and an excellent person.

Dr. Albanese was great. She listened to my concerns and explained things despite my medical background as a nurse. I often feel doctors hear that and just assume you will know what you want or won't need explaining. She gave great info that was easy to understand and was very sweet and approachable

This was my second annual Medicare "wellness visit" with Dr. Albanese. First, I am very happy and consider myself very fortunate to have a Brigham primary care physician! Dr. Albanese was punctual, pleasant, professional, aware of my medical history, performed the required exam, and asked if I had any questions (I did not). Dr. Albanese promptly reviewed lab results and sent a summary letter via Gateway. I am confident in Dr. Albanese's medical knowledge and practical experience. I hope Dr. Albanese will continue as my primary care provider for many years to come.
