Health University Of Utah Center

TLDR: the University of Utah Hematology clinic failed me completely. And, by extension, care by a ‘Hematologist’ in any ‘blood clotting’ scenario is useless vs utilizing your PCP. This is coming from someone with FOUR (4) lifetime PE/DVT incidents, the most recent while ON ELIQUIS, and have been managing “on ‘blood thinners’ for my entire life” the past 15+ years… You want more detail? Buckle up buttercup: I have a history of 3x clotting incidents in my 20’s (2x PE, 1x DVT). Lucky me, I won my golden ticket to lifetime anticoagulation (‘blood thinners’) after the third incident in 2011! Yay!! Accordingly, after more than a decade of standard care under my PCP (with no issues, I should add), I made the switch to the University of Utah Hematology clinic, expecting to be at the leading

It’s hard to understand why the sick waiting area is located directly inside the front door. High-risk patients, including those with cancer and pregnant women, are required to walk past sick individuals just to check in. This setup doesn’t align with basic infection-control principles. Other than that, the facility is nice.

I went to multiple doctors in Idaho & no one helped me properly. Nothing they did helped, it just made me worse for 2 1/2 years. At Health University of Utah the doctors were really kind & knew what was wrong with me. They actually listened to what I had to say & I am getting better after a few weeks of medicine.

They do not accept United HealthCare insurance despite advertising that they do. Be prepared to get stiffed by a big bill. This is the problem with health care today. No one can tell you what is actually covered by your insurance. The doctor may be covered but not the x-ray. The facility may be covered but not the splint for your broken arm. The patient is expected to know the details of the contracts negotiated between hospital, doctors, etc. How am I supposed to know those details if the provider doesn't even know them. It is just ludicrous.

Closer and easy to get to than having to go to the big hospital it's nice the Dr are amazing
