Patient Testimonials

Dr. Albertson was great

Dr. Albertson was great. She thoroughly explained risk vs benefit of a procedure and included me in all aspects. She warned me that it might be a little painful and there was no pain. The clinic was busy but she gave her full attention and gave all the time for the visit and then some. She is kind, empathetic and an excellent clinician. Good for ROC for finding her!

Highly recommended, glowing reputation

Dr. Albertson was AMAZING!! She came highly recommended and lived up to her glowing reputation. We appreciated her knowledge, her personal care and concern and her recommendations for treatment. She was thorough and explained everything in a way my daughter and I understood. We would highly recommend Dr. Albertson to our friends and family.

A breath of fresh air

Dr. Albertson was a breath of fresh air considering I have had some medical care below par lately. I appreciate her attentiveness, honesty and bedside manner! She definintely is an asset to the ROC! I will refer people to her from now on.

Very helpful

Dr. Albertson and her staff are the best, very helpful and they really look out for you.

Expertly done and absolutely painless

This was for a knee problem, gone rogue and osteoarthritic with age and maybe a series of other problems. First appointment for me with ROC. Dr. Albertson was impressive with her assessment and getting very precisely to where the pain was. By the time we got around to talking about a steroid shot it was clear to me that she had a big depth of experience. When I asked, she mentioned that she had done about 15 of them that day already. This was my first knee shot so I didn’t know what to expect but it was expertly done and absolutely painless. But she also emphasized that the shot was not a cure-all and that the knee multiplier was about 6x and that I needed to lose weight (which I already knew) and to do the prior physical therapy exercises even though they had not helped much at the time and to up my protein intake. She had reviewed the prior X-rays from Renown before the appointment. The next day the pain is gone. Yesterday was my 86th birthday so I got a nice present. Just for the record, I was on the governing board of Feather River hospital in Paradise CA for 18 years. I have seen good healthcare and not so good. This falls in the GOOD column.
