Dr. Natalie L. Albala, MD

All was well

Natalie Albala is the worst dr I have ever met with. Anytime I have a concern or try to tell her about my concern. She talks over me, talks loudly and tries to control the situation. I hope that nobody will ever go see Dr. Albala ever again. She’s a horrible doctor and did not help me find any relief for the pain that I am having. She also wrote in my chart that I wanted someone else to deal with me when I ask her if she could refer me to someone who specializes in back problems. Anytime I have ever gone to see this old hag she makes me feel guilty for being sick and needing help recovering. No bedside manner at all. Extremely cold person and will have you waiting 40 minutes to speak to her for three minutes.

I terminated my care with Dr. Natalie Albala due to serious concerns about documentation accuracy, clinical judgment, and patient safety. Significant inaccuracies were entered into my medical record regarding my pericarditis, including information based on questions that were never asked and details that were not discussed. As a result, I am now required to go through additional steps to have my record corrected. In addition, a blood pressure medication was prescribed despite my medical history and chart not supporting a diagnosis of hypertension, and without appropriate discussion or confirmation. When these issues were raised, they were not meaningfully addressed or corrected. Given my recent cardiac history, these errors introduced unnecessary risk and undermined trust in care. Accurate charting is not optional, especially for cardiac conditions. Patients should not have to audit their own records to ensure safe treatment. That standard was not met.

Shr likes to lecture you, which isn't ok with me. She also has a habit of thinking she knows everything, including the symptoms and side effects I experience.

She may have some medical skills but unfortunately she never wants to treat you for anything. Always wants you to see a specialist for the most minor things that most doctors would have no problem treating. Doesn’t listen to anything you tell her and is downright rude. She must have been absent the day they taught empathy in medical school

I wounld trust her near a child

Dr. Natalie is the best doctor I have ever visited always right on target with the diagnosis. I never had to have a second visit before being cured Love Dr. Natalie

I would stay away - far away. I am surprised she is even allowed to practice medicine. She helped me out once and I kept going back to see her because she had then become my "primary." After many unsatisfactory visits, I eventually changed. Very poor track record with me overall. I would stay away - far away.

Focused, thorough, no-nonsense.

i feel albala is intelligent and informed but her dominering personalty and not wanting to hear any questions from me. she was in yes or no mode. i cancelled my last appointment. i had a 2 line list of what happened and when . she refused to look at it.
