Patient Reviews

November 07, 2024
All staff and doctor were very polite and helpful.
November 06, 2024
I wish the doctor would let me know when he left the room for good or asked if I had any questions before he left. Great guy but I thought he was coming back but he must if went to next patient
November 04, 2024
I was expecting more details for the recommendations he wanted me to do.
October 30, 2024
It was a very pleasant visit. Thank you.
October 16, 2024
I was completely satisfied with the response and satisfied with the care, thank you.
October 16, 2024
I was given the information that I needed a second opinion, an opinion by his partner, another doctor I assume, was talking about information about a possible surgery or not. I don't feel I was referred to that. I feel that they set up an appointment for me to have my nails trimmed. I'm not sure what's happening there.
October 16, 2024
I was treated with respect
October 15, 2024
Fantastic physician!
October 14, 2024
So my diagnosis was pretty generic. The so was the treatment. Go buy certain shoes, go buy super feet. There's a lot of other running shoes on the market outside of what was given to me that would have been like still a stability shoe or like movement restrictive shoes. No discussion of alternatives was made. Didn't even get x-rays. The x-rays that he quote unquote gave me diagnosis from were over a year old. Even though I explained that I had extreme pain and it was way worse than I have had in a very long time, he was not motivated to give me x-rays. And when I questioned him, he acted like, well, I guess I'll give you x-rays if you want them. So, you know.
October 10, 2024
I felt a bit rushed in the examination time that I was given. Unable to ask enough questions in the time of Appointment.
October 10, 2024
Dr did not wear gloves to remove a callus from bottom of my foot. Holding my foot with bare hands. Concerned if he washed his hands after leaving the room.
October 09, 2024
I have been with Dr. Alberty for a number of years. I recommend him to all of my coworkers at work and my family members also see Dr. Alberty. I trust him completely, such a gracious manner, and he's always taking care of me all the time with great care and patience and bedside manner. I really appreciate him. And I did tell him this last time, please do not retire on me. I need you for a long time still, period. Thank you so much, Dr. Alberty, and I appreciate PIH.
October 09, 2024
Very difficult to schedule appointments in a timely manner.
October 08, 2024
The doctor's care was excellent.
October 08, 2024
All staff were very helpful.
October 07, 2024
Dr. Alberty is a knowledgeable, professional podiatrist. He always listens to my concerns and offers his professional advice.
October 07, 2024
I felt very comfortable and would definitely see this doctor again
September 30, 2024
Very professional
September 26, 2024
Oh, everything was excellent. It was very good. I really appreciate my help that I got from you. Thank you so much for being who you are there at PIH. I am (PHI removed) and I love the way that you run the hospital. Thank you so much.
September 25, 2024
Great doctor.
September 25, 2024
I want u to let the staff know that it was beautiful staff and friendly and very helpful this is a very friendly and welcoming place keep up the good work
September 17, 2024
The doctor was really good with me. He listened to me and I was very happy.
September 16, 2024
Front desk could be friendlier. Back office staff, very friendly.
September 10, 2024
The question number one is number four answer. His doctor is very nice and he explains everything to you very clear. Thank you.
September 10, 2024
Thank you Dr. Alberty!
September 05, 2024
I felt rushed at this appointment. We were waiting to get our visit summary but only received a photocopy of what I needed to buy. I didn't know what medication to buy over the counter bcuz I don't have access to my 12 yr olds portal. So I left with no doctors instructions, no doctors note for school and no way of knowing what I needed to buy except for the photocopy of a product. Plus they didn't schedule the follow up appointment , nor did they instruct me on how to schdule. I wished they were more attentive to these matters bcuz I was in a hurry and was on my way to work. I didn't realize what was missing till I was on my way home and noticed I didn't have access to my daughter's portal. Very inconvenient. I wish they would just give it. So I ended up having to call the office to get the medications list and schedule an appt. It's better practice to give the patient the information and not assume they are accessing the portal. When you are discharged from the hospital you get instructions printed. Same should be for an appointment.
August 22, 2024
Very professional and mannerly
August 22, 2024
I've seen dr. ALBERTY twice. Each time he explained things to me clearly. He took the time I needed.
August 21, 2024
Very pleasant doctor was seen on time overall good experience
August 20, 2024
Everyone was professional and nice. I didn't feel like things were explained thoroughly and it felt rushed.
August 19, 2024
Dr. Alberty is a very competent yet compassionate doctor.
August 15, 2024
He did well.
August 14, 2024
Personally, I didn't like anything about that visit with the podiatrist because I imagined they would remove my ingrown nails, but they didn't do anything, just cut my nails. In reality, I didn't like the service. I thought it would be a different kind of appointment, but it wasn't, and I didn't like it. Thank you.
August 13, 2024
Having worked for orthopedists in the past, I was surprised that nothing was mentioned about exercises for the foot. I was just told I had very flat feet, my left foot worse than my right. I was then given a Rx for what is felt to be the better type of shoe for me.
August 12, 2024
Dr. Alberty was very courteous to me during our visit. The only thing is that I felt he didn't cover anything other than saying surgery wasn't an option and to get a toe corrector or toe straightener. No mention about exercises on my toes. He didn't come back after. I thought he was going to come back into the room at the end, but he didn't. He sent his nursing assistant. Overall, very polite, but I don't think I would want to see him again. Thank you.
August 12, 2024
I will definitely change doctors. I have had several appointments with this doctor, and he always does the same thing-he only looks at his computer, spends a couple of minutes, and leaves saying he will come back, but he doesn't. I always leave frustrated due to his poor attention.
August 12, 2024
Disappointed with conversation with Dr. after r rays He came in to review exrays and explain what he saw. Very clinical no compassion. Didn't give me time to ask questions. Another gal came in to give me paper work on where to buy shoes. Also inform me I didn't need to come back to this office.
August 06, 2024
The visit was brief and a waste of time. No one seemed to care.
July 31, 2024
The office staff gave us the wrong impression of the assistance the doctor could give us.
July 31, 2024
The whole experience was thorough and efficient.
July 31, 2024
Dr. Alberty is very kind knowledgeable patient and professional. (initial removed)
July 30, 2024
I went in for foot pain that was bothering me and due to Dr. Alberty's professionalism he was able to detect something more and addressed another issue I've had for years.
July 30, 2024
Everyone was so kind. I was nervous and they were reassuring.
July 29, 2024
Dr Alberty and (name removed) were very professional and answered my questions. It was my first visit.
July 29, 2024
WASTE OF TIME FOR BEING REFERRED TO A DR. THAT LEFT ME IN LIMGO , NO SECONF OPINION, NO ANSWERS .! I AM REPORTING THIS TO MY INSURANCE !
July 29, 2024
Dr. Alberty is always nice, courteous, friendly, and takes the time to explain things so that we could understand them.
July 25, 2024
It took too long to get an appointment. I had to wait about three weeks. It was a very painful foot. And he said I should go to physical therapy, but he didn't give me an authorization. He said it'd take about a week to get it. If I need physical therapy, I don't need it next week, I need it now.
July 24, 2024
I only needed a prescription refill but the doctor's office had refused the request from my pharmacy. I had to go all the way to the office and my insurance being charged to get a refill for my toe nail. I think this is waste of resources for the Medicare. I was seen 7 months ago and he prescribed exactly the same medication again. That could have been done without a new doctor's visit.
July 23, 2024
Dr. Alberty was very kind and patient with my son during his foot procedure. My son is 13 years old and was anxious and nervous. However, Dr. Alberty answered all of his questions along with mine. And during the procedure, my son being nervous was asking a lot of questions and Dr. Alberty was very kind while performing the minor surgery to his foot and answered all of my son's questions and made him feel very safe. Thank you, Dr. Alberty. We really appreciate you.
July 23, 2024
Dr Alberty always makes me feel that I am his most important patient
July 23, 2024
Dr.Alberty was nice and explained everything to me suggested orthodoxy first to see how my feet react first.
July 22, 2024
Hi, everything was absolutely great. I got the information I needed and he was personable, well-groomed and pleasant. And I hope I hit the right buttons at the beginning because usually yes is number one, but he gets 100% on everything. And I think that's about it.
July 16, 2024
Thank you
July 15, 2024
It was great felt very comfortable in office good tiny manner I didn't got out got to help I need it it was very pleasant.
July 11, 2024
And there have been several occasions that Dr. (name removed) has treated me and he has treated me very professionally, very friendly and I'm very comfortable with everything. Thank you.
July 11, 2024
The experience was excellent overall.
July 02, 2024
Everyone was curious and answered all my questions...I got to my appointment early and got in to see the doctor early
July 02, 2024
Dr. Alberty is thorough and takes care of patients in a positive, helpful manner. I've had foot issues over the past several years and he is always there to resolve my foot problems. Thank you.
June 27, 2024
The doctor was a really good guy.
June 26, 2024
Dr. Alberty was very courteous, very professional, and very understanding. I was very pleased with his manners, and the appointment went very, very well. Thank you.
June 17, 2024
Doctor was nice and courteous. The staff I guess was having an off day. Need to have customer service class.
June 17, 2024
For months I experienced pain in the left foot. After he treated the foot, the pain was gone. Thank you Dr. Alberty.
June 06, 2024
Very professional, polite and easy to talk to
June 05, 2024
Nothing to say very good experience
June 03, 2024
Dr. Alberti is a very comforting doctor that explains to you and listens to you, makes you feel comfortable at the patient's room. He explains and the only sad part about it is that he doesn't have the late appointments on Tuesdays because I work from 8 to 5.30. So that's the only thing I miss, but I really enjoy having Dr. Alberti be my foot doctor. That's all I got to say. I do refer him to him from other friends and families that I have. Thank you.
May 29, 2024
Excellent service.
May 28, 2024
The nurses at the front desk were very helpful and they helped me out soon after I got there. There was not much of a wait at all. Again, they were very courteous and when the doctor came in, he made me feel very comfortable and I would definitely recommend the doctor, as well as the staff, to my friends and relatives. Thank you.
May 28, 2024
All very professional and efficient.
May 22, 2024
The doctor was very tentatively to my concerns on my my feet and
May 21, 2024
I think everybody was very pleasant. I would recommend it to my family and friends. And I think Dr. Alberty is the best. He's an excellent doctor. Have a wonderful blessed day.
May 21, 2024
Provider looked at xrays said "bone on bone arthritis we all get it at some point" and walks out. In comes the assistant, gives me referral for to shoe store, get new shoe foot insole. Doctor never came back to ask me if I had any questions!!
May 20, 2024
Yes, I liked how the doctor and the staff treated me, they are very professional and I am very happy.
May 16, 2024
Hi, this provider, he provided more service in one visit than I had with three other visits with another podiatrist in the same PIH. So I would definitely recommend him to anybody. And actually, my daughter was seeing him for an ingrown toe. She's been to him a few times, and she's the one that referred me. And she loves this doctor as well. So I hope he stays on for a long time.
May 13, 2024
Dr. Alberty told me how I could receive continuing care for my problem, which will be covered by insurance, and I greatly appreciated his guidance.
May 09, 2024
I was greeted nicely by his nurse who laid me in a room. I attempted to explain why I was at the office, she didn't seem interested and left for her desk.
May 08, 2024
This was my first time with this podiatrist. I am very sensitive when it comes to my feet however, I was very pleased with the service I received. He also also informed me that I was eligible For free, corrective shoes. I was told I would be receiving a letter regarding this service.
May 07, 2024
Yes, everybody at PIH are lovely, they're professional, they're caring, they go into detail which I understand. Thank you.
May 07, 2024
Didn't feel heard, Dr insisted on a permanent surgical procedure without offering alternatives or testing another option. I communicated that that was not an option until we see a persistent issue... this was a one time incident and has not been repetitive. When I completely denied the service he proceeded with my initial request which was to cut the nail... so there was another solution since the beginning he simply opposed and wanted to forcefully implement his recommendations. Also didn't wear gloves nor washed his hands before or after. I wouldn't schedule a second appointment with him
May 07, 2024
I felt that from checking in to the nurses, to the doctors, everyone was extremely kind and very respectful. I enjoyed it, and I would recommend the office to everybody. Bye.
May 02, 2024
Best foot doctor!
May 02, 2024
The doctor and staff exhibited professionalism and were very cordial, friendly, and polite.
April 25, 2024
I would just like to say that Dr. Alberty has always been kind and courteous with me and has always answered my questions. Im never afraid to go in and see him like I have been with other doctors I've had to deal with.
April 25, 2024
It was great
April 24, 2024
Wonderful experience,the girls at the front desk were very nice and answered all my questions! Got me in the next day for my procedure!
April 23, 2024
A very good service. Thank you.
April 23, 2024
Very attentive and courteous staff keep up the great job...
April 22, 2024
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Alberty for 12 years now. We're very, very satisfied with his work, his office visits, the surgery he's done on my feet, my son's feet. He's just a very good, great provider.
April 22, 2024
Nurse (name removed) is the Best. Good to see Dr Alberty back. He's so good , attentive to my Dad .
April 15, 2024
Very efficient staff and physician
April 10, 2024
Dr Alberty is so pleasant, I look forward to seeing him in my follow up appointment. The staff very nice as well so helpful... I really like the fact that r rays are done during appointment and not being sent to another area or building. Way to go PIH.
April 09, 2024
Thank you for your service. It was excellent. Very confident and appreciate the PIH there. Thank you very much and God bless.
April 09, 2024
My time with him was too fast in my opinion.
April 09, 2024
This doctor is such a joy to see and visit with. He is such a caring person and it shows in his demeanor. Great asset to PIH!!!
April 04, 2024
Dr. Alberty is a great Podiatrist. The office staff is friendly and efficient. I recommend PIH to my family and friends.
April 01, 2024
Dr Alberty did not take the time to even examine my feet or address my foot pain issues. His staff member named (name removed) was extremely rude and yelled at me over the phone for not scheduling a 3 week follow up appt, but the fact was that their staff had mistakenly only scheduled me for a follow up in 3 months. Dr Alberty did not even have me take my shoes off on my 2nd visit, and spent 3 minutes with me before telling me to hold on a minute and walked out of the office. A few minutes later a nurse walked in and said "ok, you're all set to go". I had no conclusion to my complaints of pain, no help at all.
March 28, 2024
Dr. Alberty was an excellent provider. He listened carefully and he solved a lot of my, or explained a lot of my issues that I was concerned about. I would highly recommend him.
March 27, 2024
Very excellent provider
March 26, 2024
I always feel welcomed and informed every time I go to any one of the PIH doctors
March 26, 2024
Everything was good except I was referred to a lab downstairs I went and that receptionist is the absolute worst, she talked down to me she said they weren't quest and dismissed me like I was bothering her completely unacceptable. The whole quest thing is a pain the (word removed) too, I'm trying to find a quest that I can get an appointment in time for my next appointment. First time I have been so irritated with PIH. I drive at least an hour to my appointments I will not put up with this again. Thank you for your time I absolutely understand you have absolutely nothing to do with my experience and I fully expect this to be read by AI if it's even read at all. Have a great day.
March 26, 2024
Very nice very professional
March 18, 2024
This doctor was one of the best doctors we've ever come across at PIH and we would trust him with our father and the rest of our family.
March 14, 2024
The receptionist were very friendly and helpful. However, the nurse who was in charge of the doctor's notes and referrals was very rude, very short, and very cold. I would not recommend anybody to see her because of her bedside. (INAUDIBLE).
March 11, 2024
Yes, I like it, I like the way the doctor treated me excellently. I have been to the hospital for many years now and all the care is very good, thank you.
March 11, 2024
Dr. Alberty seems to be a good doctor and knowledgeable, but he lacks patient attention. He never really made any eye contact. I was trying to explain to him where my pain was. He didn't even check the area. He just kind of glanced at it or from side eyes. He was on his computer all the time. He just sent me right away for some x-rays and determined with the x-ray what I had without even touching my foot or looking at the area that I was in pain.
March 05, 2024
He sent me to buy especial shoes and insole he did not due not things to help my pain
March 04, 2024
Dr Alberty is such a pleasant man. He is prompt, courteous and anticipated my needs. I didn't even have to ask about diabetic shoes bc he ordered them right away. I'm glad he is my doctor.
March 04, 2024
Thanks ??
February 28, 2024
I found the doctor to be really easy to talk to. He actually had a sense of humor, which is really nice, and allowed me to kind of open up and share my health concerns with him. It just made it a lot easier. And coming from Kaiser now to PIH, it's just kind of a big change, but it was really nice to see that a doctor really cared. That was it. Thank you very much. Thank you.
February 28, 2024
Excellent care by Staff and Dr,
February 27, 2024
I wish there were more doctors who pay as much attention as you do, thank you.
February 26, 2024
Paid parking is so wrong and very irritating - would appreciate it being done away with
February 22, 2024
Yes, all the ones that I selected in the beginning should have been fours. I misunderstood the directions, but he was an excellent doctor. He was attentive. He listened to me and he addressed my needs. Thank you.
February 20, 2024
Just grateful for their service but have found that the lack/turn over of nurses able to take care of nail cutting has been difficult to keep at a regular pace. It is not their fault I know, but it is just hard to know when they are available for appointments. Also the online portal to pre-register never keeps the updated information and I have to keep putting in the same information over and over.
February 15, 2024
(Name removed) the Doctor's aid lacks empathy and care for her patience. She was just checking boxes. She even forgot to give me the prescription for the pharmacy. I had to call back and, when I did, she didn't even apologize. Dr Alberty didn't even look at my feet at all. Just sat in front of his lap top and prescribed me medication which no one explained how to use.
February 13, 2024
Yes, there was one gentleman from the crew, the office. He is, it seems to me like he's a foreigner. He speaks English very broken, but he was excellent. He was super nice, very attentive, very polite. And I even asked the name up in the office what his name was. I think he's a wonderful person, really caring. I really liked him. I'm not sure his name. I don't remember his name, but he was just excellent. Very, very polite, very attentive. And I really, really appreciate that. He looked at me straight. That's another thing. Some of the providers, they don't even look at you. I mean, or they just glance at you and you feel like, oh my gosh, am I in the right place? That's how I feel. Thank you so much. Bye.
February 08, 2024
I was happy that I didn't have to wait long in lobby to see the doctor, very efficient and very pleasant all of the staff.
February 06, 2024
I have another appointment in 3 months.
January 30, 2024
Service was excellent and the procedure was painless and recuperation time was excellent. Thank you so much, Doctor.
January 29, 2024
Hello, last year, 2023, my appointment was canceled on me four times. It was actually almost a year before I got to see the doctor. Okay, I'm a diabetic. I need to have my toenails cut by a professional. That's all I got to say.
January 24, 2024
I thank the Doctor for his attention, sympathy and professionalism and his work team were also very kind and made me feel welcomed. I wish you the best and recommend you 100%
January 24, 2024
Dr Alberty made me feel so comfortable. He was so honest with me in regards to my issue I was having and for that I respected him even more. He will be my go to Podiatrist!!
January 15, 2024
Very professional and quick.
January 11, 2024
I answered pretty much everything about my experience at PIH, I would also like to mention that Dr.Alberty is an awesome down-to-earth Doctor!!!
January 11, 2024
Doctor and staff were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly??????????
January 11, 2024
There is nothing, nothing he could have done that was any different. He was excellent. He's amazing. Thank you.
January 10, 2024
Everything was great. It's just hard to get a hold of somebody in the office when you just need to ask a quick question. Example: I was given a paper with the shoes and insoles to buy, but there are multiple kids of features for this insoles. So I need to know what firmness, how thick, and how high of an arch to buy. I can't do this without being a le to speak to Dr. office.
January 04, 2024
Things were left unexplained and I had to return to the office for a follow up clarification that was not handled prior to my departure. Also therapy was assigned however there was no goal set for what the therapy is supposed to accomplish so I am left wondering why I will be going.
January 04, 2024
Very professional, polite listening to what I explained to him
January 04, 2024
Funny man
January 02, 2024
very nice D.R.
December 20, 2023
Found another doctor
December 20, 2023
The doctor didn't examine my feet. He was in and out of the room very quickly
December 18, 2023
Thank you Dr. Alberty for providing me with excellent medical care.
December 13, 2023
I'm always well taken care of at Dr. Alberty's office. He does a fantastic job. That is all.
December 12, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr. Alberty's for years and he is no longer a doctor i trust and will not be going back. Will be leaving PIH as the care and service is not the same. Dr. Alberty did a procedure on me that should be long lasting and now says needs to be redone. He wont admit but i know it was not done correctly and now has to be redone. I will get it fixed but not by Dr. Alberty.
December 12, 2023
I made my appointment for a particular reason and after paying for the appointment and for new x-rays, they told me they could not perform the reason I was there because they stop that operation at the end of the year (Nov-Dec) for people with PPO insurances. They wasted my time and my money.
December 12, 2023
Welcome back Dr. Alberty!
December 11, 2023
Great service friendly atmosphere courtesy thank you Dr
December 11, 2023
The staff and the doctor Alberty were very helpful.
December 05, 2023
Dr. Alberty was friendly yet professional. He paid attention to what I had to say. I left feeling there is an acceptable solution to my problem.
December 05, 2023
I had given up hope that I would find a good podiatrist (the one I had always seen retired). My daughter called PIH and booked my appointment with Dr Alberty I really like him and he is now the podiatrist i will be seeing
December 04, 2023
I was seen in a timely matter and the staff and doctor was very courteous. I'm very satisfied with my visit. Thank you
November 30, 2023
He was very short, not helpful at all, and at one time was rude.
November 27, 2023
The visit was stress-free and professional. Very satisfied.
November 22, 2023
Very satisfied for the most part.
