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.

Albano Clinic
The only complaint that I would have was being taken to a room and left waiting for way too long. That being said, the staff, M.A. Aubrey, M.A. Tom, and Dr. Albano were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely anxious to help. A shame medicare/insurance does not cover the procedures. I am still trying to decide if I can afford the treatment...

The process leading up & getting the stem cell injections was great. Staff are so friendly & accommodating. I did feel pressured into getting stem cells + prp as being one of the only ways I could provide some relief for my chronic injury, but I bought in. I have seen 0 results. In fact, my condition is worse. My two star is because after i paid the hefty non insurance covered price & got the procedure, it was very obviously they did not care about my results. They said they would call for a check in appointment in 4-6 weeks but never did. After 7 weeks I figured I should probably follow up as I had not received much post care instruction. Basically said keep doing what I was doing and come back in a few months. Went back a few months later, now with more pain and arthritis than I started with. albano started pointing me to doing another injection which I was not keen on & maybe try PT. told me to come back again in a few months but as I was not wanting to pay for another injection...

Looking forward to NOT having surgery thanks to the other options presented to me by Dr. Albano. Very knowledgable and I felt very comfortable with his opinions on my course of treatment.

I have seen every physician and physical therapist from here to Denver: Dr. Albano and Cheryl Farnsworth are the best providers for sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The personal investment I have made in my self seeing Dr. Albano and Cheryl Farnsworth was well worth it. Both of them got me back riding with my husband on our tandem mountain bike- I recommend both of them 100%.

I am a retired veteran and was pleased to find Dr Albano to also be a vet. As a pilot myself that was one more link in common. Dr Albano always took the extra time to make sure I understood what was going to happen. His staff is easy to work with and helpful. The recovery was quick and easy except for the no weight on my leg for a week. Hard hopping around on crutches. The Physical Therapy at Salt Lake Regional at Jordan Commons he recommended was the best I've ever had. I previously had a total knee replacement. I tried this for my other knee and hip. I would do this 10 times before I would let anyone cut on me again. Having said that, I had to have the TKR revised and he recommended Dr Trevor McGee. Good choice if you have to do the replacement route. Knowledgeable and just as easy to work with. Thanks Dr Albano!

Coming to Dr. Albano and investing the time and money into the treatment he recommended was a wonderful decision. The process of recovery was challenging at times, and I am still not able doing to do 100% of the physical activities that I would like to be doing, but I am seeing improvements every week. I have gained so much in functionality in my knee and I am doing things with less pain and more confidence. I am so happy to found Dr. Albano and his team!

After 2 years of SI problems I had PRP and stem cell injections from Dr. Albano. 4 months later I feel great and am back to hiking and doing things I love without pain.

PRP and Stem cell is so much better for the overall health and life of your body. Dr. Albano listens and cares. His staff sent me a card after my "surgery". They are all fun, caring and compassionate about their patients.

I have been in some pretty intense pain with sciatica and a herniated disc. I came to Albano clinic and they got right on it for setting me up for full recovery. I have appreciated the personal touch and the feeling that my health and experience is very important to them. Dr. Joe, explains things clearly and really looks into getting you on the correct path for you, and not just a generic "fix all" experience. His concern is that you are set on the right path to recovery....
