Dr. Alba is awesome. He was well versed in my medical history prior to my visit. He listened, reviewed along the way and then discussed a plan of action with follow-up. I am more than happy to have him as a member of my care team!

So my experience with George was everything I hoped it would be. He was very patient, very kind. There was a lot of confusion as to what was going on with him, but he very clearly explained it to me and what my prognosis is. Obviously, I'm disappointed that it's going to take as long as it is, but I thought that he was very helpful, very courteous, and he clearly laid out next steps. So I have to rate the whole experience as nothing but wonderful. I think George was fantastic and I would happily recommend him to anybody.

He was prepared he read my medical history and could determine was medication will help me in the event I have future issues with my respiratory system.

Dr. Alba is one of the best MDs I have ever seen. He listens and explains your medical situation well. His PA is also very good as well as all the staff. Quite frankly I wasn't expecting such a positive experience from a gigantic medical center. You need to clone Dr. Alba and his PA. :)
