He answered all my questions! Everyone was very nice. It was super simple and straight to the point.
Autologous / Flap Reconstruction
The office is run efficiently. Dr. Albino is thought of highly with surgeons at Inova. He is always thorough, friendly, patient with my questions, and shows empathy. Because of the outstanding skills and professionalism of Doctor Albino, I didn't worry about my outcome. I am still healing today, but the results of his work are excellent. I feel relieved and grateful.
Dr. Albino is highly skilled, knowledgeable of breast cancer issues and compassionate. I had a lumpectomy that took a significant portion of one breast. The margins from the oncology surgeon were "close." But because Dr. Albino had taken additional tissue and had it tested for cancer cells (negative) I did not have to go into surgery a second time. My breasts look better than they did when I was 19 (I'm 62). Dr. Albino called the night of surgery to check on me and responded quickly to any of my calls with questions after. The single best thing about my procedure was Dr. Albino's amazing skill as a surgeon.
I was very nervous and felt uncomfortable going into appt., but Dr. Albino listened to me and addressed my needs professionally, making me feel much more at ease with the procedure. Chantal Bserani was equally attentive in scheduling and working out payment. The overall experience was much better than expected, and I am looking forward to the result!
Dr. Albino was patient with me, knowledgeable, and provided amazing care after my procedure. He and his staff are wonderful and I will be recommending him to friends & plan to come back for additional work. The size, shape, and feel of my breasts are amazing!
Dr. and staff made the experience easier and less stressful. Dr. Albino was wonderful and very attentive.

Dr. Albino was very thoughtful about his consultation. He answered all my questions and I never felt any pressure about making such a big decision. I appreciated his insight and professional approach. Great experience and will definitely be back!!
The overall finished product is amazing! The issues I had post opt were OK and he made them all better and his staff were so supportive! The end results were amazing
He's amazing! [Single best thing is...] His perseverance given how challenging 4 surgeries and complications were.
Dr. Albino is terrific. His surgical skill, bedside manner, and personality are the keys to making the great doctor that he is. I trust him inherently. CPS has been so great to me, hands down a wonderful experience overall. [Single best thing is...] I received exactly what I wanted.
Staff. Especially the anesthesiologist took a great deal of time with me. No one seemed to be in a hurry but I was ready ahead of schedule.
I got the silver lining of breast cancer - new boobs! And smaller too! [Single best thing is...] Dr. Frank Albino's bedside manner. He listened to me, and calmed me during the turmoil of breast cancer.
I waited in the waiting room for over 20 minutes. I then got taken back and spoke with the Dr. who was very rushed. I then went to wait for the pricing and I sat out there for over 15 minutes before I stood up to leave. She grabbed me heading out.
I'm very pleased with the results of my surgery. Dr. Albino set realistic expectations and then met them. But what is more remarkable to me than his surgical skill is his behavior toward me as a patient. I always feel like he listens to my concerns and addresses them in a very down-to-earth manner. He went above and beyond what I could have hoped for in my post-operative care. I expected him to be an excellent surgeon. I didn't expect him to also be so nice. I was also pleasantly surprised by the office staff. Every single person I have dealt with at the Annandale office has been so friendly and efficient. I only have positive things to say about my entire experience. The results of the surgery have had a huge positive impact on my self-confidence. I no longer have to try to camouflage the features that have been bothering me for years. What a difference!
Staff was very attentive and thorough with making sure my choices would result in the best outcome for me. I received amazing after care following the procedure and made to feel extremely at ease. Very happy with the results.
Dr. Albino and his staff are wonderful. Everyone is friendly and professional and I know I'm receiving excellent care. I'm a breast cancer patient and Dr. Albino has been able to make me look as close to normal as possible.
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Albino. From the very beginning he showed great kindness and thoroughly explained the ins and outs of my procedure. There was very little to be worried or anxious about, both pre and post surgery. He even made himself available outside the office and really took the time to follow up to make sure my recovery was going smoothly. I can't think of a more friendly, compassionate, and skilled surgeon to trust, if I ever need another procedure down the road I won't hesitate to see Dr. Albino again. I truly felt like I was in very good hands with Dr. Albino. The overall quality of care combined with amazing results has lifted a huge weight off my chest, both literally and figuratively! I feel like a new person.
