    I've been under the care of Dr. Albrecht for some years now. I've never known a physician so caring…read moreand so thorough in his treatment and manner. There's a calm gentleness about him I've never experienced with any other physician. His staff adores him and I can see why. I feel the same way about him--and about them, too. I had chronically high--very high--blood pressure which he finally helped bring under control. He goes beyond simply treating kidney issues by treating other problems which can affect the kidneys. Dr. Albrecht also delivers solid advice for how to prevent some problems from getting worse, again in a calm, gentle manner which is never 'preachy' like it can be with other medical professionals. I highly recommend Dr. Albrecht and his staff to anyone in need of a great nephrologist. I don't mind sharing. Truly, I don't.

    I do recomend the Dr. Albrecht. I rate my experience with the Dr. Albrecht is rated 5 stars. I put…read more3 stars because of the front staff. I feel that when we call, we are not that important. The tone of the person says that she is upset with us calling. I just asked about my husband's appointment time and day. It's like we interrupted something important that she needed to do. When we talk to her in about making a payment, she is not very friendly. I feel like she is more important and shouldn't have to explain anything to us. I like paying my co pays after the appointment. That way it's paid. The last time I was told there was no co pay. We thought that his deductible was meet for the year. It was someone else who said this not the main person. It would have been nice to have the main person acknowledge that she saw us by her head or hand movements. Both people were on the phone when we came in. We had to go sit down as my husband is in a walker and could not stand too long. The other person helped us when we acknowledged who we were. The other person was a substitute for the regular person, who takes us back to the room. Oh well, at least we love to come and see the doctor. I miss the other staff who showed they enjoyed their job.

    sometimes, I wish the star ratings could be divided up. the phone system still deserves one star,…read morethe staff could easily be 4 star. here it is around 2 years later and I skipped one whole year of the colonoscopy nightmare... so here comes colonoscopy number 2 (instead of number 3). I have a new PCP and she referred me to GH for the procedure and my mind went straight to a colorful 4 letter word and thought with serious anger. sigh. I had GH contact me to set the appointment up and the person that called I'd say was "dumb as a box of hair" in every sense. I tried to get her to understand I have questions that need answered (like how do you deal with high anxiety patients). while I didn't expect her to have the answer, I did expect her to put me in touch with someone that could answer my questions. I again tried to get through to this person's manager and, of course, that went bad. I don't recall the time frames but, by the time she (assistant manager for GH) did get back to me I was back to looking elsewhere to take care of me even if that meant going down to Centralia or up into the Tacoma area. the assistant manager was pretty amazing to deal with when I finally got her on the phone. to help shorten this, I ended up with an office visit with a PA (like a month later!?!) and thankfully, that visit also went well. questions answered, better details on the procedure and an ironclad guarantee that I would NOT wake during them doing their work and I wouldn't be pushed out the door before I was coherent and able to stand on my own. the really good part is I got in just 3 days later for the next nightmare. my anxiety was completely unchecked and only got worse as time went. I wish I knew the nurse's name as she did so well with me. she didn't pander, stayed on task and was able to (slowly) coax me into what was needed. a nurse from the adjoining curtain even stuck her head in to offer assistance if it were needed. the staff here really does care! the anesthesiologist came through pretty quick after that and said very little. looking back on it as I type this out, he might've been uncomfortable dealing with someone panicking. the doctor came in a little while later to get the form signed for consent. again, here I am mid-meltdown and he states, "if you're not up for this we can do it some other time." while I wasn't able to speak, my response let him know we needed to proceed. he got the forms signed and then stated (my words, not his)... "that's about enough of that, let's get you calmed down." I needed that so much at that moment. thank you Doc! the rest of it was a blur. I do remember standing on my own but, I'm unsure if I dressed myself or not. LMAO. the only thing I can really say bad about the visit (not counting the panic I was going through) is my wife wasn't really informed of anything other than, "we're having a little trouble getting him to wake up. it'll probably be about 20 minutes before we bring him out." along with instructions where she would be collecting me. in short, if you can make it past the horrific phone system, they do have some caring staff. they just need to fire the people that call people and answer the phone. and seriously! get a better phone tree set up.

    Awful. Disorganized. Frustrating…read more I've been a patient at this clinic for five years, through three different doctors, two management teams, and four medical assistants. Despite all the turnover, nothing has improved. Phone calls go unanswered, questions are ignored, and communication is nearly nonexistent. If you're lucky enough to get an appointment, expect minimal effort, rushed care, and providers who don't listen. The most concerning experience I had was being pressured into an unnecessary procedure. During that discussion, I was told there was imaging of the area they wanted to operate on. There wasn't. That area had never been imaged. When I questioned it and reviewed my records, no such imaging existed. That completely destroyed my trust in this clinic. After five years of being dismissed, ignored, and receiving consistently poor care, I cannot recommend this practice to anyone. A healthcare provider should work to help patients recover and answer their concerns. Not leave them feeling like they're wasting the clinic's time. If you're looking for compassionate, organized, patient-centered care, I strongly encourage you to seek treatment elsewhere.
