Using a mix of naturopathic treatment strategies (nutrition, herbology, acupuncture, lifestyle counseling, homeopathy), Dr. Albano welcomes patients of any age and health concern, including digestive concerns, skin issues, body pains, thyroid or female hormonal imbalances, or emotional coping.
A former competitive softball player, Dr. Albano also enjoys working with local athletes to maximize athletic performance using natural means.
