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.

Awful Experience
I wish I had read the reviews before I went to see Dr. Albertson. My procedure was a horrible experience and extremely painful. It seems like he has been doing this too long and maybe should either retire or just stick to academia. I’m kicking myself for going to him and only hoping that this review helps others find another option.

Searched for the Best I could find-HE is the one. I found co-workers and even another doctor swear by him. He does Research/Teaching and Surgery. He is detail oriented, professional,but understanding and takes the time to answer any question, even though he is in demand. I will refer my family, friends and others to see him-IN A HEARTBEAT. Simply the sharpest and best for my money.

Had a great experience with Dr. Albertsen. He spent a great deal of time in the appts making sure I had all my questions answered and that I was comfortable with the diagnosis, operation, and followup. The operation was very successful and I am the only person I've met that does not have any complications or negative health outcomes after prostate removal. I highly recommend him.
