1. Zero should be an option on this comment area. Dr Shawn Nakamura, chief of sports surgery, told me meniscus was torn, but lied. His surgery destroyed my knee. They sent letters to my other docs, lying, saying I screamed and hit them. I was crying in pain. They knew they screwed up so they tried to cover their mistakes w lies. Admin is as bad as the surgery team. Run away and don’t look back. This place should be shut down.

   EDIT: To the reply from St MC. I did call. I did talk to the director. She said she would talk to the rest of her team and would get back to me. No return call, no letter, no email, no response. The hospital protects their doKtors and staff at all cost. They KNEW Nakamura screwed up and they didn’t want to deal with it. The patients get kicked to the curb and allow letters of liable and slander to be sent out by their accused staff. Your peers know what you are doing. You should be shut down. Period.

3. Incompetent and uncaring staff.
   I went into the ER with extreme pain in my abdomen and chest area and didn’t know what was wrong. I was sent to St. Mary Corwin by my General physican after she realized how much pain I was in and she couldn’t figure it out.
   First, the incompetent phlebotomist apologized repeatedly for messing up the I V that took 3 or 4 attempts and left me with several huge bruises. Then the nurse put the blood pressure cuff on top of the working IV and it blew out. After a scan, they gave me antacids and discharge papers. When I begged for someone to PLEASE, tell me what was wrong with me, because I had not been able to eat or sleep for almost a week, the charge nurse asked me, “Well… What do you want me to do?” with a sarcastic tone and her arms crossed over her chest. Subsequently, I was unable to accept a lucrative job because I was still in so much pain. Several weeks and many Dr. visits later, turns out my diaphragm was stuck between my lower ribs. I now have severe nerve damage that may be permanent. I realize that sometimes people make mistakes but the uncaring attitude left me very frustrated. I was personally made to feel like I was only there for pain meds but in reality, I just wanted help.

4. I took my son to the ER, he thought he had an ear infection. They tested him for Covid/RSV/flu. They sent us back into a room, waited for 3 hours, he was not checked on once. We left at 2:30am to go to another ER. Was seen right away, he had two ear infections, they also called St. Mary Corwin for the results, he has Covid and RSV and had the results for hours while we waited.

5. My wife brought me to St. Mary Corwin because we were afraid I was going to have a seizure.

   When the provider came into my room (his name is Frank Reiser), he was very aggressive and his words were: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? I have 11 patients in the waiting room that need beds!

   My wife and I are both in the western medicine field and have been for over a decade. We were both shocked and appalled by Frank Reiser’s demeanor. I thoroughly explained to him my disease and the subsequent extreme fear of having a seizure. He walked out of the room. We had no choice but to leave the ER at that point. We came there for help and Frank Reiser decided I wasn’t worth helping.

   In my line of work, I’ve heard many of my patients in Pueblo cheer for Parkview, and many others cheer for St. Mary Corwin. It’s always going to boil down to the experience one has while there and I’m always open to listening to my patients while also taking it with a grain of salt because one bad experience could have been due to a multitude of factors that the patient has no control of or even no idea is happening behind the scenes.

   I’ve heard many more patients cheer for Parkview than St. Mary Corwin but I made the choice to go to St. Mary Corwin.

   In this experience I had, there was nothing that was going on that should have caused Frank Reiser to immediately and aggressively shut down my care. My wife and I literally thought I may have a seizure and we were “greeted” with aggression and anger for me being there.

   If you absolutely have to go to St. Mary Corwin, and your provider ends up being Frank Reiser, I suggest requesting a different practitioner. The entire experience was traumatizing in ways I’m not sure are fully processed yet. We will be filing an official complaint with the Colorado medical board.

   Also, we received a bill in the mail, even though ZERO services were rendered and the doctor essentially told us to leave.

   Good luck and be safe.
