Overview
overview
- Dr. Albert is a member of the elite colon and rectal surgery team at AdventHealth Medical Group, which he joined in July 2004. A Fellow of both the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons and of the American College of Surgeons, his specialties include laparoscopic and robotic surgery of the colon and rectum, screening and therapeutic colonoscopy, surgery for colon and rectal cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic floor disorders, the treatment of anorectal disease, and stomas and hernia issues. Dr. Albert's wide range of colon and rectal surgical services includes the revolutionary technique known as TAMIS (transanal minimally invasive surgery), which he helped invent. He also is credited with spearheading the development of an ACGME-accredited subspecialty training program for colon and rectal surgeons.
