Autologous / Flap Reconstruction
Dr. Frank Albino was professional, kind, caring, sincere, the list is endless. With the amount of "problems" I had come up, Dr. Albino was always there for me, no matter what time of day, or even on weekends! His personalized attention to me and at times my emotional breakdowns I had with my cancer diagnosis, he understood and his compassion was above and beyond. Dr. Albino always: made me feel welcomed, explained every procedure to my full understanding, (and some days I admit were a challenge for him because I was so scared). Lindsay, Dr. Albino's nurse was professional and kind and always made me feel welcomed and cared for, just like Dr. Frank Albino. No question or concern was too great a challenge for Lindsay. She was always calm, cool, and collected. Mary, who was Dr. Albino's patient coordinator at the time, was warm, caring, and made scheduling my procedures so less fearful than they could have been otherwise. The front receptionist were professional, warm, and caring no matter how many times I bothered them with questions, or rescheduling. Dr. Albino's new patient coordinator (who's name escapes me at this time) has been "right on the money" and a wonderful replacement for his previous patient coordinator Mary. Despite the reason why I had to see Dr. Albino and "his crew" it was a wonderful and "never to be repeated" experience for me. As soon as I walked into Dr. Albino's office and met Dr. Frank Albino, I felt safe, secure, and well cared for. I have been to many doctors, and Dr. Frank Albino has been one of the top doctors I have had the pleasure to be under his care.
The outcome was what I wanted. The staff are great. The fact that I have had some post operative issues and they are being addressed professionally and with treatment is terrific. The litmus test of a good provider is one that supports follow up and treats complications or outcomes as they arise. I will continue to work with Dr. Albino and his team for all my plastic surgery and skin care needs.
Dr. Albino is a caring doctor. During my visits I feel like I am his only patient. He listens to my concerns, answers all questions and puts me at ease. The team that works in the office is outstanding as well.
The entire staff at the Annandale office are, in my opinion, some of my favorite people I've had the pleasure of meeting. The genuine care, concerns and treatment of the person as a whole, a true patient-centered approach to practicing medicine. I would recommend Dr. Albino and his staff to any person.
Dr. Albino and his stuff were so friendly and also the surgery was a success with the grace of God.
Dr. Albino and his team are so supportive and responsive to my every concern...no matter how small. I felt cared for by the team.

Dr Albino has great bedside manner and a reassuring demeanor. His staff are quick to address issues as they arise. Everyone I have encountered has been professional and caring.
I think everyone in the office is nice and attentive. They are respectful of privacy. Shiloh is very warm and easy to talk to. Lindsay answered all of my questions before and after surgery. Dr. Albino is caring and has great bedside manner in addition to his obvious excellent skill as a surgeon.
Dr. Albino and his staff are very patient and detailed in their explanation of my treatment and procedures.

The outcome was not what I expected or had been discussed.
I'm a 72 year old woman. I think he did a magnificent job with what he had to work with. I am very pleased - even with one implant that keeps flipping.
My surgery turned out excellent! Dr. Albino knows his craft extremely well and anticipated any issues. He was able to fix the symmetry of my mastectomy breast and natural tissue. It makes me feel while again. Dr. Albino had a great bedside manner and is always upbeat when I see him. He also takes great pride in his work and making sure I am comfortable with the plan and results. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family! [Single best thing is...] Symmetry of my breasts again!
Dr. Albino is a very talented surgeon. And he has the most caring bedside manner. He is understanding of my needs and ensures all my questions are answered. The reconstruction surgery after my mastectomy has made me feel whole again.
Dr. Albino is an excellent doctor. He is highly skilled, listens attentively, and has a wonderful, warm, calming, and caring demeanor. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have him as my plastic surgeon. In addition, every member of his staff is outstanding. Everyone from his office that I came in contact with, in person or on the phone, is very professional, and clearly dedicated to putting patients at ease. It is an absolute pleasure to go to this office. I feel very well cared for. Also, having a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery is a difficult and frightening experience under the best of circumstances and going through those procedures during a pandemic heightened that fear greatly. Dr. Albino and his staff worked tirelessly -- through several cancellations and postponements by the hospital -- to ease my concerns and get my reconstruction on track.

Dr Albino is just as nice as can be. He didn't make me fell anxious about the surgery in any way. He did a fantastic job and the follow-ups were great. He never talked down to me as some Doctors can do. He was very sympathetic to my situation. Overall a very pleasant experience for my condition. A+ The best part of my experience was how easy it was to talk to Dr. Albino about my concerns both pre-surgery & post surgery. We came up with a plan and stuck to it. He did his part and all worked out as planned.
