Albert Vasquez joined forces with Align Healing Center to perform PRP and joint therapy injections and assist the patients of Align in achieving a pain-free life.
Albert comes from a firefighter/paramedic background of which he still plays a part for the City of San Jose. His career as a firefighter/paramedic continues to fulfill his desire to serve the community not only as a firefighter but also as a healthcare professional.

It was those experiences that continued to feed Albert's thirst for knowledge and willingness to do more. This was the driving force in Albert's journey toward pursuing more advanced avenues of practicing medicine. In 2012, Albert attended Stanford University and graduated from the physician assistant program. Since then, Albert has been practicing family medicine in the underserved communities of Stanislaus County.
