Mark W. Albers is a neurologist specializing in memory and olfactory disorders. He earned a PhD in organic chemistry from Harvard University, working in the laboratory of Stuart Schreiber, and an MD degree from the H.S.T. program of Harvard Medical School and M.I.T. He was an internal medicine resident for two years at Massachusetts General Hospital and then trained in neurology at Mass General, and Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he was one of the first chief residents for the Mass General Brigham neurology residency program. Following clinical training, he resumed basic research studies in the laboratory of Richard Axel and practiced behavioral neurology in the Memory Disorders Center at the Neurological Institute, affiliated with Columbia University. Following this training, he returned to Mass General where he sees outpatients in the Memory Disorders Unit and attends on the inpatient neurologic wards.

Both my wife and I saw Dr. Albers. His office was very prompt and courteous to us. Couldn't have been better. And he was right on time and very, very thorough to both answer our questions and get information that he needed and wanted. He spent an ample amount of time with us. We couldn't be more pleased. Thank you very much. I don't know how to stop it.

Yes, I am blessed with having Dr. Albers as a physician. I think he's absolutely fantastic. He explains things in an easy to understand manner. And he is very educational. He is absolutely great. So I couldn't recommend him higher. The only problem is that I can only rate him on a scale one again. I think he's like a 10. Anyway, thank you for the opportunity to raise him. Thank you. Bye now.
