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.

I had been looking for a doctor who practiced near my home and was affiliated with Methodist Hospital Southlake. Dr. Albert fit the bill perfectly. He had great communication skill and I came away from my appointment very impressed.

I saw Dr. Albert for a chronic back condition which eventually rendered me unable to walk. He examined me, recorded my symptoms and referred me to get an MRI which resulted in diagnosis of a condition of degeneration of my lumbar area. He thoroughly explained remedies which started with physical therapy and rest from strenuous activity. He really gave me a perspective of treatment options which I can base future treatments. i personally liked his patient approach.
