Dr. Alban is a sociopath that gave me the creeps from the get go. I will not discuss the details of my encounter as this is in litigation and HE admitted it’s not his first (or second, or third, etc). Honestly would not be surprised if he’s an experienced angel of death.

The type of doctor you want when you go to the ER. Thorough on checking everything.

Not caring or compassionate. The worst person I have ever encountered. I would say closest thing to socio path I have ever encountered.

Worst doctor at Palisades Medical Center. He is not caring, or compassionate.

I visited the Dr.'s office walk in urgent care in Paramus. Dr. Alban took care of my eye infection and was sensitive to my lack of insurance when deciding which medicine to prescribe. Very professional and personal doctor. The staff was nice and the office was beautiful.
