Islamophobic Employee

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This Islamophobic employee purposefully discriminates against Muslim patients by forcing them to wait for hours in the waiting area. She profiles patients and has been doing so since July 2024. Furthermore, she has sabotaged medical samples and is responsible for the deaths of patients.

University Of Colorado Hospital - Review in Hospitals, Clinics and Medical Centers category from Denver, Colorado

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Alleges seniors suffer from fake heart meds since July 2025.
  • - Claims a white supremacist plot in the pharmacy to harm seniors via Granules Metoprolol.

People need to know whats really going on with the heart medicine at UCHealth Pharmacy. Since July 2025, senior outpatients have been suffering from sudden, terrible health crises and heart failure, and it doesn't look like an accident.

There is a strong suspicion that {{Redacted}} working inside the pharmacy are running a targeted, "Project 2025-style" plot to hurt vulnerable elderly patients.

They are doing this by intentionally giving out fake, useless heart medication instead of the real stuff.

Even though patients are getting really sick, the hospital completely insists on handing out this specific generic Metoprolol made by a company called Granules. By forcing people to take these useless pills, they are basically cutting off the life-saving blood pressure medicine seniors need to survive, turning the hospital's own pharmacy into a tool for a quiet, cruel political agenda.

Ineffective Metoprolol at UChealth Pharmacy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - UCHealth Pharmacy dispensed a Granules Pharmaceuticals Metoprolol batch that acted like a placebo, with heart rate and blood pressure spikes.

Absolutely terrifying experience with UCHealth Pharmacy. They since August of 2025 are dispensing a Granules Pharmaceuticals generic fake Metoprolol batch that acts like a total placebo.

My heart rate and blood pressure went through the roof after taking it, despite years of being perfectly stable on my normal generic.

There is something severely wrong with the quality control of this specific supply chain batch. UCHealth pharmacy is putting cardiac patients at massive risk by distributing this junk.

Check your heart meds! Fake/Ineffective Metoprolol at UCHealth

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

If you fill your Metoprolol at UCHealth, check your manufacturer label immediately. I was given a recent refill labeled 'Granules India Limited Made in [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA]' Granules Pharmaceuticals Inc, Chantilly, [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA] 20151 that is completely compromised.

Metoprolol is a highly sensitive time-release medication. This particular generic batch is a massive health hazard; it completely failed to control my cardiac symptoms, leading to dangerous fluctuations in my vitals. There have been documented historic issues with specific overseas generic manufacturers failing dissolution and quality tests for Metoprolol succinate, and it looks like UCHealth is currently handing out one of those bad batches. Do not [PERSON_NAME] with your heart health.

I have already filed formal complaints with the FDA MedWatch program and the Colorado State Board of Pharmacy. Demand that the pharmacists check the source batch and swap it for an authorized, trusted generic.

HOSPITAL LIED ABOUT RELEASING RECORDS TO THE VA

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Veteran treated for prostate cancer at UCHealth in Aurora, CO.
  • - VA requested records May 5, 2019; release form signed but delayed 18 days.

I am a veteran that was treated for prostate cancer at UCHealth of Aurora, CO. The Choice Card Program via The Department of Veterans Affairs fee basis me to the location for treatment.

My initial service to the location begin in November 2018. The VA requested a complete copy of my medical records for the treatment process on May 5, 2019. A copy of the letter was sent to me that included a Release of Medical Records form. The document was signed and sent to UNHealth Release of Information.

As a precaution I decided to follow-up with a telephone call. The release department selectively chose to ignore the request for eighteen days and only responded after I contacted the Patient Advocate Office The department called and left a voice message in references to the issue and a call back phone number. Per stipulation as requested I called the department back. Again, days letter a voice message was left stating that the request had been fulfilled.

However, it was not stated the fulfill date.

The VA sent a second request dated June 13, 2018 stating the requested records had not been sent. To my veteran that are being treated at any UCHealth facility I suggest to PROCEED WITH STRONG RESERVATIONS Angry

Cons:
  • Lied to about releasing medical records
Reason of review:
Poor customer service

Preferred solution: copy of confirmation sent to the VA

University Of Colorado Hospital Medical Care Review from Denver, Colorado

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Tests were ordered; no cause was found for pain.
  • - Neurology care was lacking, with no tests.
  • - Daily pain and injections seem required to get care.

I went here for a spinal condition I have had previous surgery for. The doctor ordered all the appropriate tests, but kept telling me there is nothing he can see causing my pain.

I know the horrific neck pain and subsequent dizziness, numbness in tingkling in toes, arm pain, etc is caused by something. Spine referred me to a neurologist at CU that dumped my care on my primary, which she informed me was not appropriate. Care at neurology department greatly lacking. No tests ran, just ordered pill, most of which were on the allergy list.

So now I am in excrutiating pain and my life has come to a halt because U of C does not care if patients are in extreme pain daily.

The pain clinic is a joke. I have been hurt by so many injections I refuse them. If you aren't ok with injections you get no help with pain whatsoever. I did go to p.t.

which was good. I was encouraged to find a pool and work out on my own, which I did. The only thing I do now is go to the pool for as long as I can stand it, before I am so dizzy and in pain and I am afraid I wilo pass out. The complete lack of medical care is appalling.

They dont care if you are crying in agonizing pain. I hope someone helps me soon because this pain is ruining any chance at life.

Bad quality

I cannot make a Dr. understand the pain i am in. Is it my approach or do they not want to help me.

AI Highlights
  • - X-ray showed degenerated discs from neck to lumbar.
  • - MRI showed radiating pain to neck and limbs.
  • - Doctor had poor communication; no treatment.

I started my search 12-1-14. Spine center.The DR.

performed two tests. An xray and E.M.R. My xray showed multiple layers of degenerated discs from neck to lumbar. The e.m.r showed pain impulses sent throughout my body,causing radiating pain to neck shoulders arms hand, fingers, legs and feet.

He hardly spoke to me never answered my questions ,never listened to suggestions others had been given to me, and said there was nothing he could do for me. I was taken aback. Never told me my results, no bedside manner. I felt foolish.

Still in pain I had to go to e.r. twice for help. the pain was too much. There it was the same.

Only difference they explained my problem but would not ease my pain. No meds nothing. Live with it. This cannot be happening I thought.

To this day I suffer unable to walk,, stand straight, carry myself ,open a can, groom myself,bath ,do my daily chores Help me to end this *** somehow. I cannot live like this. Depressed to the limit. Anxiety .What can I do.

signed, .Sincerely desperate...Dominic Garcia.

Someone you saw there probably listed you as a drug seeker.Go somewhere else to a different hospital or doctor.Do not list where you went before on your paperwork.You are in a pot friendly state maybe you should try that..It works for all the things you describe.
