“I always wanted to be a doctor. Even as a kid, it’s the only profession I ever wanted to pursue. After starting my studies in med school, I realized that plastic surgery is what I love—to hear a patient’s story and work out how to make things better for them, whether that’s making cosmetic changes or restoring their body following cancer or trauma, is a privilege. There’s no greater reward for me than seeing a patient’s confidence and outlook improve after their procedure.”
Patient Testimonial
“The stares that I get, people are asking me, ‘Who did your surgery? Who did it?’ I say, ‘Well, Dr. Albino, CPS.’ He’s done an amazing job. He has completely changed my life. I have this newfound confidence that I’ve never had before. I’m living my best life. So grateful and thankful for him.”
