get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

I went to medical school thinking I wanted to become a pediatrician, but once I did surgery and orthopaedics, I decided to combine my dedication and love of children's health with orthopaedic surgery.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

of Hobart Klaaren. He was and is one of my mentors and recruited me to Dayton Children's.

Dayton Children's is special because...

of our medical staff.

He was great. No complaints.

Dr Albert was extremely patient, prompt, and helped us to understand the critical nature of our recent diagnosis. His staff were upbeat and helpful and I felt in great hands.

I loved that doctor took the time to print out the X-rays, show them to my son and explain things to him that he could understand. He even put them by his ankle and explained where things were directionally and what was going on. It made my son much more comfortable and aware of what was going on with his foot and why specifically he needed to be in a boot and crutches.

We love and trust Dr. Albert and he will always be the one that we go to when our daughter is having problems with her scoliosis. We recommend him to anyone and we're so grateful to have him as a provider.
