In July 2023 Alberto replaced my leaking Aortic Valve. My memories of a time of great stress was that Alberto is not only a brilliant surgeon but is also a very kind person. Prior to the operation he was always available and addressed any issues I had very quickly and clearly. Post operation in hospital either himself or his brilliant anaesthetist Dr Maria Maccaroni visted once and often twice a day everyday which was very reassuring. Once I was discharged from Hospital Alberto made it clear he was always available via email for any concerns I might have. The best way I can sum up my experience under the care of Alberto is that if family or friends were ever in a similar position I would not just recommend Alberto I would insist they contact him. I will always be grateful for his brilliance and kindness.

Mr Albanese exuded confidence in my CABG x3 to be performed by himself and the rest of the surgical team. He took time to explain everything and reassure me. The operation went well . I can now look forward to seeing my children and grandchildren grow older. A wonderful gift.

Whilst the surgical team were excellent, the hospital setting was not great eg the food was very poor and the room was very noisy. Little consideration was given to getting good sleep.
