UCHealth Rheumatology Clinic - Anschutz Medical Campus Aurora, CO 80045

"Dr Mooreland, rheumatologist at UC Rheumatology is great, a careful listener and a gentle manner. Long history of working with patients autoimmune diseases"

"Definite professionals! They are always on time and I have never had to wait beyond my scheduled appointment time."

"This review is not about the doctors, as we haven't made it that far. My husband received a referral from on base on 12.13.23 (today is 1/21/24). UC Health Rheumatology told him that they did not see it until 12.29.23 (16 days to see the referral). Since then, they have told him three times to call back to see if they're ready to schedule him. Every time he calls, they tell him to call back next week. Today marks 5 1/2 weeks since the referral was placed & his doctor on base said on 12.13.23 that he selected this practice because they can usually get a patient in within a few months & he wanted my husband to be seen as quickly as possible. He is only in his early 40s & is in substantial chronic pain, never complaining suffering & is being forced to retire soon because of the severe daily pain combined with spinal stenosis & the list goes on. In my experience having floated into rheumatology before, it is not uncommon to see appointments booked many months out, but it is unprofessional & unacceptable to not even get the patient a scheduled appt for this long. We've seen many specialists in different states & we've never seen a scheduling dept. like this. He is planning to speak with his doctor on base tomorrow about this. I feel for the other patients that have posted on here, similar experiences. We will probably be looking for a different rheumatology group this week."

"I'm an a JRA patient X 30 years. It took me 9 months to get into UC Health Rheumatology. I was scheduled at the Cherry Creek location and was cancelled without notification. My provider just abruptly left the practice and I had to wait an additional 6 months. After all of that disappointment , I can see how it's a difficult practice to get into. I had a great first experience with UC health after if of the initial drama. Dr Jonsson listens carefully to my concerns. She addresses each issue with confidence and speculation. She was attentive during a crisis I had experienced and was quick to follow up with a 29 minute phone call. I would recommend this rheumatologist for anyone currently seeking a new provider."

"This review pertains to the Cherry Creek Rheumatology clinic as well as the Anschutz Rheumatology clinic and I’ve posted it for both. I can’t believe I’m writing this review for a UC health facility, as nearly all of my doctors are UC Health providers and I’ve had nothing but great experiences with all of them. I have been a patient of the Cherry Creek Rheumatology clinic and the Anschutz Rheumatology clinic over the past three years. My most recent rheumatologist was Dr. Seligman in the Cherry Creek clinic. I saw Dr. Seligman in May and she determined that I had a few new concerning things going. There were a few changes in my health that were definitely impacting my autoimmune diseases this practice had diagnosed me. So she sent me out to UC Health Heart and Vascular Specialist, as well as a Hematologist, so they could examine me and send me out for various tests. She thought this would give her a better idea of what was going on with me. She told me she wanted to see me back as soon as I followed up with the two specialists. She was correct. The two specialist she referred me to found some concerning issues in their testing and examinations and they said I needed to get back in with rheumatology ASAP. I had an appointment to see Dr. Seligman about three weeks ago and I was called literally the day before my appointment by someone in the Cherry Creek clinic and they told me that “Dr. Seligman no longer worked there and my appointment was being canceled”. I asked what new provider I would be seeing and they said “no one, we don’t have another provider for you”. The person went onto to say that they were short staffed for rheumatologists and that I should try to go to a new practice outside of UC Health. So I explained the severity of my situation and how Dr. Seligman only two months prior had referred me to two other UC Health specialists for examinations and testing and that those providers did in fact find various other health problems that are likely related to another autoimmune disease. I also mentioned to the person that those specialists told me follow back up with my UC Health rheumatologist ASAP. That didn’t matter. She said she couldn’t do anything for me and wished me luck. I then reached out to the Anschutz Rheumatology clinic to explain my situation to see if they could take me as a patient. They left me a voicemail saying they were going to reach out to the Cherry Creek clinic, because they explained they do have another rheumatologist there that was taking Dr. Seligman’s patients. But the Cherry Creek told me the same thing again. “You should try to go to another rheumatology practice outside of UC Health that might have availability”. I called the Anschutz Rheumatology clinic back to tell them the Cherry Creek clinic wasn’t willing to schedule me with their rheumatologist and they told me that they are also short staffed for rheumatologists and recently had one of their rheumatologists leave to go work for a private practice. They were only moving his patients to their other providers and couldn’t help anyone who lost their provider from the Cherry Creek clinic. I’ve asked both clinics if their office managers can call me back, so I could explain my situation. It’s nearly 3 weeks after Cherry Creek canceled my appointment and I haven’t heard from either office managers. Just staff saying I should look for a new rheumatologists outside of UC Health. I do think if these people would actually see their former Doctors (Dr. Seligman’s) notes and messages to the providers she referred me to that they would take my health more seriously. But it just seems like they believe my health concerns aren’t important enough for them to schedule me with another one of their rheumatologist and I should look outside of UC Health as they’ve said “I would have better luck”. The Cherry Creek and Anschutz Rheumatology clinics have abandon me and have failed me as a patient with very concerning new health issues. I’m left with no choice other than to raise this matter to the UC Health networks Administrators office."
