University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics

I got charged $ 150 when I went to the emergency room for a doctor to walk into the room and say «I just wanted to make sure you are doing okay.» That doesn’t include the $ 800 for the mediocre service and use of the emergency room that I didn’t actually need but was «recommended». Hospitals are such a sham. It’s as if you go to a car lot and you don’t know how much you are going to get charged until you drive the car off the lot.

This hospital is like a big fun ground for medical school students and in saying that the student who treated my bf for a cut thumb was very entertaining. To the point we were all going to go to the pie for pizza, lol. Even the volunteer hung out in our room we were having so much fun. I guess spending 5 hours in the er wasnt so painful, they even took a ultrasound of his finger because the students needed more things to ultrasound, no joke!

Kudos to all in the cancer clinic except one sour grape the dr that did the mapping for my surgery was a money hungry class a egotistical JERK!

I’ve been going to the Madsen Health Clinic for ten years. I’ve received great care from the doctors, nurses, and the rest of the staff. The doctors I’ve seen through the years have been extremely knowledgeable, willing to discuss options with me, and they have great bedside manners. The nurses are friendly and empathetic and they know their stuff.
Perhaps the thing that I love most is that not once has any one of the doctors berated me or made me feel less than human because I’m fat. They know I am physically active and that I lead a reasonably healthy lifestyle. If I have a problem they run tests and figure out what’s wrong instead of blaming it on obesity… which I’ve heard is a fairly common occurence in other places.
My one and only complaint is that the doctors are overbooked and it’s rare when I get in on time. Still, it’s worth the wait to have such great care from such understanding people.

I see a lot of different hospitals in my line of work. U of U is some of the friendliest, most organized and most efficient I have seen. Everyone is very concerned for your well being and it shows. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need.
P. S. The huntsman Cancer Institute is just as amazing if not more. Hope you never need either of these places, but if you do they will take care of you.

If minus 10 were possible this is it! Madsen Clinic, worst healthcare in Utah. Rude cold and indifferent nurses & MD’s. Arrogance abounds in Healthy U clinics. Dirty unkept waiting rooms, loud noisy offices. 1 – 2 hours waiting for a 5 – 10 min. appt. Had pneumoccal vaccine, nurse jammed the needle in my arm so hard the syringe left an imprint, a few hours later, entire arm was swolllen, red, hot, & lumpy. Fever 105*F and it didn’t respond to tylenol or motrin. Ended up in ER. I know how these people make money. Create the problem to begin with, how ingenius. Besides the immediate allergic reaction, the injection caused a severe bacterial infection called cellulitis (infection of deep tissue layers in skin). All that from one vaccine? Must have been a contaminated needle. At the hospital itself my earrings, drivers license, and university ID were stolen upon admission.
