They screwed up my scheduled appointments TWICE at the Rockrimmon office. Now I have to make trip number THREE AND break another appointment!!!!!

I scheduled an appointment, something like three months in advance. They cancelled my appointment less than 24 hours before it was scheduled, saying I had to wait ANOTHER three months. Wow. Seriously... Wow.

I realize that much of the red tape is off a government, bureaucratic nature however many companies including uc health do not offer consumers alternative solutions. They just say “won’t do it could lose license!” Lots of wasted time!

Went in for a Inguinal hernia robot assisted operation. on Aug. 9th. Co-pay was $220.00. The robot pierced my small abdomen, wound up with sepsis, and ER surgery to remove 10" of my abdomen. Spent an entire week in the hospital don't even remember the first two days. Now U.C. Health is trying to bill me $1600.00 co-pay. Not my fault! So contacted Billing and Humana. Both told me to get an attorney, didn't want to, but now the lawsuits will start.

I was just seen in the ER at UCHEALTH Longs Peak Hospital. I was there for a UTI that has not resolved and both kidneys are in pain as a result. The doctor on duty had the nerve to tell me that getting sepsis from a UTI is not life threatening. He only checked urine and did not even check blood for white cell counts or to see if any other problem was there. Wow! I felt very dismissed and frustrated at this doctors lack of caring for patients. What a joke I’ll never go back!

Was employed there for a number of years in several different capacities, the organization was poorly run and negligently directed. There was no such thing as input from upper management, mid to low-level supervisors were basically told "Keep things functional, don't spend any money" which works about as well as you think. Was asked many times to do illegal activity, was lied to about tuition reimbursement, was regularly overworked to the point of physical collapse, and the lowest of all, they stole several hours of my PTO time. They value patient perception above actual outcomes and medical necessity, and are downright ruthless when it comes to catering to VIP's (they terminated a co-worker because she once said "no problem" as it implied that there could be a problem for this local media type). If you're a academic researcher physician or some kind of specialist physician, I'm sure UCMC will be a great place for you. For all other departments however, ED, public safety, marketing, HR, etc. it is a complete mess and should be avoided if at all possible. Benefits are bad, the pay is worse, and fundamentally, you are not going to help anyone, the organization is too large and too poorly led. The only reason for anyone to be an inpatient is for significant trauma or an organ transplant. If you're reading this, and want to be admitted for any other condition besides those, do not. Go to Christ or St. Elizabeth, UC Health will let you down, take it from someone who was on the inside.
