Everything went seamlessly. Dr. Albino is simply wonderful and the entire staff was great to work with. Clean modern office was an added bonus.
The whole surgical process from start to finish was very smooth. I was nervous because I have never had surgery but all of the staff put my mind at ease.
Autologous / Flap Reconstruction
I had the first stage of my reconstruction - placement of the expander. Before surgery, Dr. Albino took his time when explaining the procedure to me and answered my questions. At my follow-up visits, he listened to my concerns and took care of the fluid that had accumulated around my mastectomy site. He and his staff are excellent!
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
The procedure / risks were explained fully. Pre-surgery instructions were well organized, easy to follow, and described exactly what to expect post-surgery. When I emailed questions / concerns to the nurse, I received very timely responses. Finally, Dr. Albino and the staff were terrific!
Everyone was super professional and kind the whole entire time. Helpful and very knowledgeable. Results are amazing as well.
I needed two reconstruction surgeries, one at the time of my mastectomy and one three months later. Dr. Albino was the plastic surgeon for both and he was always professional, concerned for my comfort level, and thoroughly explained the process and what to expect every step of the way. His surgical skills resulted in a perfect reconstruction with no complications. His confident, optimistic attitude helped me stay positive. His office staff, Lindsay and Shiloh, also were positive and also made sure I stayed informed. The attending nurse, Kara, couldn't have done a better job of prepping me for surgery. I'm so grateful to all of them for making a scary process successful and with an excellent outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Albino as a first choice for any plastic surgery.
Dr. Albino is an excellent doctor. When you meet with him he want to make sure you understanding you have a clear understanding what will take place. When my surgery was done he stayed after the surgery and constantly came back to the cover area to check on me. His Pre Operation Nurse; : Lindsay is WONDERFUL. I can't praise her enough for her calm, caring and assistance during my process. Also, his Admin Assistant ; Lila is WONDERFUL as well. She will get your FMLA papers and whatever you may need in amazing turn around time. Dr. Albino's entire staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend him highly!!
I had two problems going on and needed repairs to both. I was able to get both issues resolved by the best surgeons in the DMV metro area. Thank you, I feel 1000 times better...
My case has been complicated and Frank Albino has been absolutely amazing. He has taken excellent care of me!
Dr. Albino really helped me when I needed it the most. I had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer - at age 38 with no family history - and was absolutely terrified of a mastectomy. I remember crying in Dr. Albino's office about the prospect of surgery - he told me that I would be fine, that he would get me through this, and that this was the right decision. That was what I really needed to hear to get through the surgery. And the surgery itself was excellent - I had minimal pain and no noticeable long-term effects. Throughout the process, my pain perhaps reached a "3" - which was an extremely pleasant surprise given some of the horror stories about mastectomies. Dr. Albino is an outstanding doctor with a great bedside manner, and I'm so thankful that my breast surgeon referred me to him. I would not have gotten through this process without him.
Autologous / Flap Reconstruction
I was fortunate enough to visit both the Chevy Chase and Annandale offices. At each visit I was pleasantly greeted by the front desk staff and nurses.
Dr. Albino is an outstanding plastic surgeon. He's a caring and sensitive surgeon. All my appointments, Dr. Albino asked me how I'm feeling, he talked to me. I love his genuine caring for me, he even called me on the phone twice to see how I'm feeling after surgery.
My reconstructed breasts look like a nicely enhanced version of my real ones.
I was referred to Dr. Albino by my breast physician. 12 years ago, I underwent a mastectomy/reconstruction and was in need of a replacement implant. I had put having this procedure off for a long time, but after meeting with Dr. Albino and his staff, my fears dissolved. Dr. Albino was professional and trust worthy in every sense of the word. He gave honest advice, and made certain all of my questions were answered. During my consultation, I felt like I was talking to a friend who truly had my best interest at heart. His staff was equally impressive. They exceeded my expectations in every way possible. As a result of this phenomenal team, I had a lift and a replacement implant. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. Dr. Albino did an amazing job!
Everything went well and Dr. Albino and team did a great job. I was informed and supported throughout the process.
Dr. Albino is a great surgeon who takes the time to explain what's going on with your body and answers any questions you may have.
