Albert H. Diehl III, MD, FACS - Atlanta Breast Care

Albert Diehl III, MD, joined Atlanta Breast Care in 2018. He has a stellar academic background with a commitment to educational excellence and humanitarian issues. His accomplished surgical skills and wonderful bedside manner make him a great addition to our practice. He has been included in Atlanta Magazine Top Doctors and Castle Connolly Top Doctors for several years running as soon as he was eligible.

He is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and a member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons as well as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Diehl earned his undergraduate degree from University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign. He earned his medical degree from the Emory University School of Medicine, graduating with honors. He continued on to complete his internship and residency in general surgery at Emory, as well as a fellowship in breast oncology.

Since joining our practice and the Piedmont Clinic, Dr. Diehl has become involved in several committees. He has served as the surgical representative on the Scientific Review Committee, which helps determine the clinical trials in which Piedmont participates. He also served as the Chair of the Operating Room Satisfaction Committee, which works to ensure a great experience for our surgical patients, and as a member of the Perioperative Governance Council for Piedmont Atlanta.

Dr. Diehl grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois, where his family owned a strawberry farm. As an Atlanta resident, he enjoys exploring the vibrant Atlanta restaurant scene, baking various treats for the office staff to enjoy, and taking advantage of our wonderful airport to travel the world. He also enjoys spending time with his two very spoiled rescue dogs- Wembley, a Westie-Dachshund mix, and Pippa, a maltipoo. He can regularly be found at pilates and HIIT classes near his home in Buckhead since his clinic days are fueled entirely by candy and Diet Dr. Pepper.

"What a baby face for such an expert doctor! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Diehl. From his lovely “bedside manner” to his incredible work on me, I could not be more pleased. I had a lumpectomy in each breast, fortunately each of them small enough that Dr. Diehl performed both surgeries in the same operation. But for whatever reason, the astounding part was and remains the fact that both my breasts look very much like they did before. It is nearly impossible to detect what or where any incisions were made, tissue removed or reconstruction with what was left took place. Dr. Diehl told me he did “a lot of work” on me ... and the result is barely detectable. Excellent. All the way around. From pre-op diagnosis to post op care, it is clear I am dealing with a leader in the field of breast surgeons and a lovely person to boot."
