Dr Albea is amazing doctor. He did my sons back surgery for stenosis he was 19 and also follows up for his Chiari Maliformation surgery he from 2004 by the Neurosurgeon doctor that trained him in Nashville! He also done 2 carpal tunnel surgery on me and I’ve done great! Great personality, bedside manner everything about him is great! His office is great also!

My M.D. sent me to Dr. Albea for lower back pain and sciatica. Dr. Albea is extremely engaging and knowlegable. His bedside manor is pleasant and comforting. He gives you the individual attention you need and deserve. You feel as if you are the only patient he has. I trust this gentleman with no reserves. If you have need of a neurologist do yourself a kindness and choose Dr. Albea.
