Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Dr. James Albers receives consistently outstanding praise from his patients, with the vast majority awarding him perfect 5-star ratings. Patients repeatedly highlight his thoroughness in examinations and explanations, noting that he takes time to help them understand their treatment options and medical conditions in accessible language. His communication skills are frequently commended, with multiple reviews emphasizing that he listens attentively to patient concerns and never makes them feel rushed. Patients describe him as genuinely caring, kind, and compassionate, with several noting they consider him not just a healthcare provider but a friend. His expertise and knowledge in his field are consistently recognized, and many patients express long-term loyalty, with some seeing him for 20 years or more. His responsiveness through patient portals and ability to accommodate urgent appointments are also appreciated.
Patients also share
While Dr. Albers himself receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, one significant concern was raised about support staff. A parent of a child with cerebral palsy reported a very negative experience with a lab technician who was unprofessional, uncaring, and lacked understanding of how to work with special needs patients during an x-ray procedure. The technician's approach caused distress to both the patient and parent, creating a stark contrast to the positive experience with Dr. Albers during the same visit. This represents the only substantive criticism found in the reviews, though it pertains to ancillary staff rather than the provider himself.
