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.

Great Doctor with super personality and care.
I have the most confidence in Dr. Al to take care of me and keep me healthy.

Excellent care on all points
I am consistently quite pleased with the care I have received from Dr Albergamo over the past 3 years. He’s very attentive for any health issues that need to be addressed, reviews my medications and dosages, is prompt in refilling my many medications and always follows up my visits in MyChart. 5 stars! I’d give 6 if it were an option

Great reception, friendly young lady. Asked about my military service and thanked me for my service I barely sat down and was called back for my appointment. I was in for an annual check up and the nurse assisting me was thorough and professional. As usual Dr Albergamo was on time and was thorough in his exam. Fine doctor and overall good man.

Dr Albergamo
Came in the room with a friendly greeting.. we went over my chart and medication‘s. Recommended some vaccinations. He was very concerned about my condition and if I could continue living by myself. He did the exam. I assured him at this point I can live by myself. I assured him that I was thinking about the future as well.
