My mom switched to Dr. Albrecht for the 13months that she stayed at Stone Lodge. Right away our LHIN Worker and myself asked for a referal for Dementia and Alzhemers Testing. Our LHIN Worker did up her paperwork right and sent it to him in 2022. It's been over 15months now and he still never sent in the request. And now we have to start all over again as he dropped mom as a patient the day mom moved out of Stone Lodge with no warning at all. Not that he care for mom at all anyhow. One day he walked into my mom's room. All hecsaid to her was "What Now!!!!" My brother and sister-in-law were visiting mom so they both witnessed his coldness. Also in the time mom stayed at Stone Lodge neither Stone Lodge or Dr. Albrecht took care of mom's health needs. She has Edema, so her legs swell. I requested Dr. Albrecht look at her legs, as after only five or six months of living at Stone Lodge, her legs got so bad her leg wraps no longer fit her . Dr. Albrecht never saw her or even looked at her legs. When I brought mom home in February, with the help of mom's Pharmacist, we treated mom's legs in a week, getting her swelling down to where her leg wraps then fit her again.
Also the day mom moved home we left Stone Lodge with one day of meds. I had to beg Dr. Albrecht, through his Assistant to send mom's prescriptions to our Pharmacy. After three phone calls and our Pharmacist Faxing our request he finally sent three months of prescriptions. His assistant called me back to tell me this and then told me the doctor will not do anything else for my mom and to never call the office again. How could a Medical Doctor drop a 86year old patient with no notice what so ever. Knowing her health and knowing she can never leave our home to see a doctor elsewhere. Talk about Heartless.
As for his assistant she too is very, very rude and heartless.
When I was begging for her to please help with getting mom her meds that she needs. She was so cold saying she would call us back next week?!?! She knew mom only had one days worth and this was Friday. I was clearly upset and asked her what would she do if this was happening to her mom. She didn't answer. I then said "Don't worry. I'll figure it out myself!!" and hung up. She then she put a complaint in against me saying I was being rude and abusive. I was just in disbelief that they could both be so cold and heartless.
She is always very condescending with her 'Yes Dear!" , 'No Dear!' Like we don't know what she is meaning by saying this to us. Very, very cold.
