Denver Health Women's Care Clinic

"Denver is so fortunate to have this resource available. I've been going to the Denver Health Women's Care Clinic for ongoing procedures for about two years now and the staff is helpful, prompt, kind and informative. I feel taken care of and know my questions will be answered."

"Started services with them in Jan first visit was virtual didn’t like that but what can you do. Second visit was with a good midwife though she wasn’t my primary still didn’t have one she was helpful and informative. I had issue high pulse at work with dizziness blurry vision at work she listened to my concern and took precautions advised aspirin due to black women high risk of complications during pregnancy. March I met with mid wife Ejaaz and she seems she didn’t prepare at all, her student did a better job than she did. A urine sample I did prior visit didn’t test well she did a phone screen and noted retest urine next visit she didn’t though. Day of visit she didn’t know It was our initial visit until the end her student told her. I called nurse line twice for headache dizziness and feeling awful first time got a response. Second time when I noticed I had high blood pressure with above signs no call back. I let Ejaaz know when she came in 5 minutes at the end of the visit she didn’t know it was a record though she found it when she finally looked in the chart. She stated it could of been a misread due to wrist Bp cuff failing take note of other associated symptoms and the fact I’m a nurse I know how to take blood pressure. So she focused on headache saying take Tylenol but I feel strongly against that due to risk of autism and adhd. She told me risk of stillbirth, stroke and seizure should outweigh the possible risk of my son being born with autism/adhd. It’s my choice and there are other options of treatment for headaches her lovely student suggest magnesium. I still wanted to focus on high blood pressure and I told her I haven’t been working due to this and aspirin been helping.she replied while aspirin doesn’t cure it , I never wanted it cured I want it managed so I can work as a nurse and function at home. She gave a bad first impression with black moms dying more than any race I would think of woman of color wouldn’t dismiss a woman’s concern and take the moms wants into consideration. Definitely switching my midwife"

"Went here for gender affirming surgery. The surgery was only three days ago as of this writing, but so far, everything has been going really well. I have not had any complications yet, and during my pre-op visit and my two nights in the hospital, everyone I interacted with was very kind and respectful. Everyone used my proper pronouns (she/her), with the exception of one male nurse who used "they" to refer to me when I was first being moved to my hospital bed. I never saw him again after that single brief interaction."

"I had a great experience from the time I walked into the door! The staff at the front desk were very helpful and I didn't have to wait long - ok, well, I did have to wait a bit once I got into the exam room BUT Catherine Grinnell spent a good deal of time with me once my appointment started and she was very thorough in detailed and answered all my questions."
