Beacham Memorial Hospital

I’m so upset w/ Freedom Behavioral. Yes, the nurses where nice & took good care of my Mom. My problem is w/ the diagnosis. Her neurologist of 2 yrs gave her a diagnosis of dementia w/ behavioral disorder which the doctor at Freedom did also. The neurologist also diagnosed her w/ depression, which the doctor at Freedom didn’t do. My whole family knows she has depression, she takes medication for it! The dr at Freedom left her on the depression medication, but didn’t give her a depression diagnosis!?? I had a nursing home picked out for my Mom & they where preparing to take her immediately from her discharge at Freedom. The nursing home is required to do a PASRR evaluation on ALL incoming residents. Since the dr at Freedom didn’t/wouldn’t diagnose her w/ depression, she couldn’t have the PASSR because Freedom kept saying it wasn’t needed. I made 22 phone calls in 1 day trying to get one or the other to to work w/ each other which didn’t happen. My mother missed a chance to go into the nursing home. I called around & couldn’t find another place for her at this time. I have taken care of her for the past 2 yrs & desperately need to go back to work. So yes, I’m very upset w/ them. I gave them 2 stars for the nice, sweet nurses.

Dr Luke is without a doubt the worst, least caring doctor I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He has the worst bed side manner, and that’s not just coming from me. My grandparents who live near his office also had the general hellish visit from him. The staff is as nice as can be allowd only in consideration of his self righteousness and judgment of everyone other than himself. I came to him for a medical emergency and saw him every two weeks at least. He still never even tried to find out what was wrong with me due to me not having insurance. Point being, not a good man, human being, let alone a doctor. Be warned please y’all DO NOT GO TO MAGNOLIA CLINIC
