Report
The hospital management is terrible. They keep putting off my sons neck tumor surgery. My son is at risk of his tumor to metastasize and this would be the fault of Anschutz because they are not allowing surgeries because of the possible covid cases? Covid has a death risk of less then 1 percent? my son life is not as important as a "possible" covid patient? Completely ridiculous. I am getting a lawyer. This is complete discrimination.

I went up to UCHealth Anschutz hospital on Colfax in Denver to drop off some medical papers and the Valet Parking People were Excellent People they are Very Polite,Thoughtful, Helpful, Prompt. I wasn't able to ask for better Valet People. I was going to give them a tip yet I didn't have any cash on me at the time so when I go up there in a week or so I'll make up for what I didn't do today.

I never have any problems when I come here, everyone is very helpful and nice. Only problem I can say is an issue is parking, you have to get to here like half an hour before your appointment because it'll take at least 15 minutes to find parking. Other than that no other complaints.
