Gunnison Valley Health Hospital 711 North Taylor Street, Gunnison, CO 81230

"Do not go here. Radiology is a joke! Worst hospital, rural neglect to residents and tourists! They are not competent in current healthcare and almost killed me. I still have been neglected while fighting for them to fix their mistakes. Almost 6 months of neglect and inhumane service since they poisoned me. I have all the documentation that the radiology department did not track lot numbers, and expiration dates. The technician had actually crossed out and hand wrote different drug brands which had different ingredients. I have proof of the immediate ER visit for an adverse reaction. I have been told to even buy a lottery ticket, told to not come back unless I wasn’t breathing, told to stop reporting to the FDA, officials and to let it go as to which product was used. They crossed them off like a little kid on a paper using pen. The CEO and Risk Management even admitted they had to pull records for a full week. They did not call back and I have phone records to prove they lied on that as well. Neglect, neglect, neglect! Stay away as this hospital will kill you and lie about it. Question everything and watch every bottle they use. I have proof, they can’t prove me wrong i guarantee it and the decline in my health is proof as well yet they have turned a blind eye on fixing their mistakes. Own up GVH to what your staff did and is doing to people. I did not consent to what you injected and the FDA stated you are required to provide drug information and risks. Which product and why was I not provided “informed consent” of drug information before you injected me. This is just a quick pic of some proof. I have loads more if you want to try to discredit me anymore. This place is disgusting and inhumane. Update: this hospital still has refused to provide me which product, proof it was not expired, and now I am no longer able to ask for my record’s because they had an attorney get involved. I still have been denied meeting with ethics board like they claim under patient rights and have now refused my human rights to records and what poisoned me. Why would a hospital keep this information when it is killing me?!?!?!"

"I usually don’t post reviews. I do ask anyone reading this hesitates a little before heading to the ER of Gunnison Valley Hospital. The reviews about the poor billing are very accurate, but that is not what I’m reviewing about. My father had to be admitted into the ER twice in the past year. The first was for West Nile, so the results took a couple weeks to come back. In the meantime, I do know there was no ill intent from the nurses, but they indeed did have poor bedside manner in assuming he was dying of cancer, scaring us both into taking a last wishes pamphlet and designating me as power of attorney. It was scary and hard but unwarranted. All he needed was to rest with fluids, and he was much better. A month ago, I admitted him into the ER again. This time for the flu. He was very, very sick. He eventually got a room overnight, but the doctor told us both it was really his choice that he was staying — that he didn’t need to. The next day, I got my apartment ready to put him up in to take care of him once they discharged him. I kept texting him all morning asking if he had seen the doctor, if they had done another chest x-ray, blood work, etc. He was in a lot of pain and couldn’t breathe. The doctor didn’t show up until the early afternoon, where his condition had worsened to a point he needed to be bused to ICU in Grand Junction. He needed a ventilator and did have pneumonia. They loaded him into the ambulance, and that was the last time I saw my dad conscious. He died the next morning in Grand Junction. I realize that it is honorable and extremely difficult to work in the medical field, especially in an emergency department as a doctor or nurse. I also realize going to another hospital may not have at all changed the outcome — that it was my dad’s time. What bothers me on a daily basis ever since my dad passed away is the staff dramatized the situation when we didn’t need the doom and gloom the first time and saw him as dramatic when we needed his condition to be taken seriously the second. I hope they find out some way to make it better. Before I get a comment from them on this review, I have already called the Grievance Hotline. Left a voicemail. I hope they call me back."

"Would give 0 if I could. Have been stuck with this as my ER option for 13 years. I was admitted to the ER for a UTI. The Dr asked me if I had insurance. I did not. He proceeded to say "well I guess I'll treat you".....Seriously I wish he would have refused, since I sat in the waiting room for 2 hours listening to staff joke around, while reading the sign that says they are legally obligated to treat everyone regardless of insurance status.... 4 years later I went in for another UTI, I was charged for "stage 3 life support" to piss in a cup and get an antibiotic (again after 4 hours of waiting). When I had COVID I had to spend 2 nights there. I had insurance it should have been covered. I got a bill for $10,000 now in collections. The itemized bill showed they charged $5 per vitamin pill.....Seriously? I can buy an entire bottle at City Market for $5.....They screwed up my boyfriends wrist surgery, and he had to go back. He had internal bleeding from falling on ice. They did a cat scan and released him without showing results. Sure enough he was later diagnosed as having internal bleeding by VSON in Crested Butte, but it was too late to do anything. Worst place ever. I'd only go here for physician assisted suicide, but they only help people die who don't want to."

"The care that I've received here has mostly been fine - the nurses are great, doctors hit or miss. But the billing/ finance department needs improvement - on two separate occasions they somehow lost my payment for my bills and sent them to collections. (I don't even understand how you can lose an online payment). It's been frustrating to deal with."
