I have been a client at this clinic for almost 20 years and it saddens me to be leaving this review…read moreand well as to be leaving this clinic. I was seen here recently for an annual physical as I have every year since starting there. I am, fortunately, I very healthy woman, and so my visits are usually only this one time a year. I also happen to be an ER nurse so feel confident in what health questions should be asked, what assessments should be done, and what tests should be ordered during an annual physical. When I called in to make my appointment, I was notified that my former PA, Darren Roth was no longer with the clinic. The turn over rate of this place has been INSANE over the past few years. It is a revolving door of PAs and MDs. It's disappointing because I have had some wonderful doctors and PAs there. So when I called in to make my appointment, it was disappointing to be choosing from someone new again. The doctor enters the room and introduces himself and starts asking me questions. So far, this is all normal outside of the fact that I'm not sitting on the exam table and I'm not in a gown. I chalk this up to maybe people have had complaints about this process, and so they now let patients remain in their clothes during the questioning part of the exam. Fine. The doc then asks me to get on the exam table and listens to my heart and lungs, checks my strength of my arms and legs, pushes on my abdomen, and then tells me to go get my labs drawn. No skin check, no breast exam, no looking in my eyes and ears, no looking in my mouth, no palpating my neck/glands. These should be standard assessments during an annual physical. I ask the doctor if he's going to do a urine analysis, and he says, "you only need to do that if we're testing for STIs. Do you want STIs testing?" There is actually a lot of data about that can be gathered about your health by looking at the urine, primarily kidney function, so his response took me off guard. Now, like I said, I'm pretty healthy, so I just let it go and didn't insist on the urine test, and instead just got my bloodwork. A few days later my bloodwork results come back and I look at them on the portal. One of my lab values was on the high side (my creatinine), but it wasn't outrageously out of the norm. This can be attributed to many things that are generally benign when looking at this test. There are other lab values that correlate to the creatinine that can help determine kidney health and functionality and these lab values were all within the norm. I then get a phone call later from doctor Korneluk saying that, "you have stage 2 kidney disease and need to come back in for more bloodwork and a URINE TEST." First of all, my creatinine was 3/100 of a point above normal. That does NOT mean I have kidney disease! Secondly, if he had ordered a urine analysis like I recommended the first time, I wouldn't have to come back for that. No doctor looking at one abhorrent data point would jump to the conclusion of stage 2 kidney disease. He did tell me that he studied to be a Sports Medicine doctor, so maybe he's new to reading lab work, but calling a patient and using verbiage like "disease and failure" only illicit fear and unnecessary stress. Fortunately, I know enough to know that I am almost certainly NOT experiencing kidney failure and was just dehydrated and possibly in mild rhabdo from playing 5 hours of sand volleyball the night before. So, the exam was terrible, he didn't order the right tests and spent a total of about 7 minutes in the room with me. He used fear mongering language over the phone to tell me I need to come back in to pay for more labs, and then I found out he charged me over $450 for this experience! My insurance only approved to pay for half of that visit because there is NO reason an annual physical should cost that much. As someone who also works in healthcare, it is SO disappointing that this type of thing is happening. I expect providers to hold themselves to a higher standard. Go somewhere else for your primary healthcare.

I'm genuinely sad to be writing this review because this practice used to be excellent…read more I moved to Denver in 2016 and needed a primary care provider I could see regularly, as I take PrEP and require routine follow-ups. Dr. Peter Prutch was recommended to me by neighbors, and at the time, Family Centered Medicine was exactly what the name promised. Visits were efficient, the staff was friendly, labs were done in-office with fast results, and the overall experience felt thoughtful and patient-centered. I happily left a glowing review back then because it was earned. Unfortunately, since Dr. Prutch retired (hi Peter I hope you're enjoying retirement) and the practice was sold -- now operating as Part of Pinnacle Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, a subsidiary of Brookside Health Group, owned by Vertikle Enterprises -- the quality and continuity of care have deteriorated significantly. I saw the new provider (Ona Ahumada, NP) twice and left both visits feeling judged and unheard. My medical records clearly had not been reviewed, and notes about me were literally written on a napkin during one appointment. It felt unprofessional and rushed, and the contrast to how this practice once operated was stark. The only reason I returned for a second visit was because of Nikki, the medical assistant, who has consistently been kind, competent, and the one steady, positive presence in the office. Nikki is exceptional and deserves recognition -- and frankly, better systems and leadership around her. In December, I informed the office that I would be changing PCPs and proactively completed a release of records. Since then, I've spent weeks trying to contact the office to provide my new physician's information. Calls go unanswered, voicemail boxes are full, and when you call the number now listed on the door, you're routed to an automated system that also ends in a full mailbox. Three weeks into the new year, I physically went to the office only to find handwritten and printed signs taped to the door stating the phone system has been down since early January and that the practice has moved -- with no reliable way to reach a human being. I'm not seeking care here anymore. I'm simply trying to have my medical records transferred to my new PCP, and the inability to accomplish something so basic is deeply frustrating and unacceptable in a healthcare setting. This practice was once a model of efficient, respectful primary care. Since the corporate takeover, that experience has been lost. Final note: Nikki is amazing. She was consistently professional, empathetic, and helpful throughout all of this.

Wow. Called to get test results, no answer. No notice they'd closed. No way to get my medical or…read moreprescription records. My pharmacy referred me to Meghan Edwards 720-241-3765. The receptionist played dumb when I called but clearly wasn't telling the truth.

I feel a great sense of peace within my soul after my sessions. Amy was amazing at holding space for me during my journey and I could feel her positive energy radiating! I am truly so grateful for the work they do at RevolutionaryMD. The energy of the clinic is magnetic and you can feel the love when you walk in the door! I highly recommend Dr. Grover to anyone looking for healing breakthroughs in their life. Best doctor in Denver, and the world!

Dr Grover is amazing. I first met him in 2007 when I first moved to Denver.

Doctors would spend 5 to 10 minutes with me and didn't seem to care. I met Dr Grover and he spent nearly 1 hour with me - uninterrupted while we discussed my symptoms and I had a thorough examination. He ordered some tests and we DID figure it out. He never once dismissed me or rushed me. Demonstrating a true concern for his patients is an attribute of Dr Grover. I had a friend also see Dr Grover regularly and he went into the ER with a health scare. Dr Grover called him on his cell phone and walked asked to talk to the ER doctor on the phone. Ever since then - he has continued to be a great doctor and I see him on everything from my annual physical to the typical issues, bumps, bruises, and illnesses.

Dr. Felle has always been incredibly warm and knowledgeable, and now that I am pregnant I am becoming more acquainted with the entire medical staff and they're all lovely.

TLDR: This is a very poorly-run office and a very hostile environment for people of color -- read…read moreto the end. Every year there are scheduling issues. This year I was rescheduled less than 24 hours before my appointment (which had literally been scheduled the previous year) and all I was told on the phone is that there had been "schedule changes." The new time I was offered was extremely inconvenient for me, but I felt compelled to take it because I am conscientious about my health and otherwise the appointment would be 2 months away. At the time I was rescheduled, I had already filled out the extremely long form they send you to fill out in advance, and after they rescheduled me I got texts asking me to do it again. I was later told, at my appointment, that it wasn't necessary to fill out the form again and that the front desk should have told me that, but clearly they didn't. At my appointment, the person (nurse? PA? they never tell you) told me that the reschedule was necessary because "a doctor who was flying back from vacation had her flight cancelled and so Dr. Felle had to cover for her." In other words, doctors' vacation needs take precedence over appointments that were literally scheduled a year in advance. Their office is ALWAYS freezing and on multiple occasions. I have waited, shivering in one of the thin gowns, for over 45 minutes. So, patient time is completely disrespected by this practice, but THEIR time is treated as extremely precious (signs are everywhere saying that if you are 10 minutes late you will be rescheduled -- I never have been late but I am sure they wouldn't hesitate to send you home if, say, your bus was a bit late!) I see Dr. Felle for less than 5 minutes per visit -- she is always in a hurry -- so I don't have much basis for an opinion on her. The most offensive thing of all is that this office has one of those cartoon photos of Ruth Bader Ginsburg with the words "I Dissent." To be clear, RBG was a racist old white lady who only hired ONE Black clerk (out of over 100) during her entire career on the Supreme Court and said that Colin Kaepernick's silent kneeling to protest police violence against Black people was "dumb." Also, if RBG had retired earlier in Obama's second term, he could have appointed someone to replace her and maybe we'd still have more protection for reproductive rights. Anyone can research all this in 5 seconds on the Internet, and maybe think twice about putting RBG on the wall in a gynecologists' office, but apparently no one has taken the time at this office. It's typical liberal white lady stuff -- virtue signalling without actually doing your homework. I have vaguely thought about finding a new practice but I am very busy (especially since I am burdened with tasks like rearranging my schedule at the drop of a hat to accommodate their doctor's vacations, and filling out lengthy forms twice!), and there's something to be said for continuity of care, so I haven't done it yet. I definitely don't recommend this practice to any new patients who are people of color. I am well off, highly educated, and able to advocate for myself, but I shudder to think of how poor people of color must be treated here.
