This so called research hospital is responsible for the death of my grandson. My daughter who was referred to Uconn bc of a high risk pregnancy had a still born bc of medical malpratice. She was extremely sick durning her last two months to where she was homebound and on a intervenous pump bc she couldnt keep anything down. Countless times I had to bring her down there bc of low potassium and twice for preeclampsia.The resident drs took this case very lightly and did not do what was expected of them. She called the night before she had the still born and told them she wasnt feeling right and she could not walk. She was dropping to her knees everytime she tried to walk. I explained to that dr that she isnt right and something is wrong. This dr talked her out of coming down bc she had a stress test on the next day.My daughter felt the baby moving that night. When we went to the appointment the next day, sadly the baby, my grandson Benjamin,passed away.My daughter delivered by c section and shortly after went into a catantic state of shock. Thats when they asked if she wanted a autopsy done and in her state said no. REALLY? She wasnt in her right mind at the time. However the hospital knew the family wantex one done as I spoke with them about testing the babh for mitochondrial disease which runs in our family. To my surprise the nurses didnt even know what that was and I had to explain it to them. They gave nothing to my daughter for pain bc they thought since she was in a catanic state that she felt no pain. Sick! They had the baby wrapped in a blanket and hat and when my daughter asked for them so she could have something of his they said they sent them with him to be cremated. How rude and shameful on their part. Please do not go here if you are a high risk pregnancy. Save your babys life and go elsewhere. We will sue for the wrongful death of a baby that deserved to live. He weighed 5lbs 13 ounces and should have been delivered the weej before when she was displaying signs of preeclampsia. They never did an ultrasound on the baby to see if he was big enough to be delivered which he was. I would give -100 stars if given the choice.

The physicians at UConn Health are excellent. This 1 Star review is for UConn Healths new outpatient pavilion facility. UConn Health has relocated many of the University Physicians group of doctors into this new pavilion with parking now at Garage 1. With this change, patients are now being required to pay for parking. While the rates are reasonable - $1 an hour - the payment process requires the use of an automated pay station. These APS are only available in English - I wonder if UConn Health will provide interpretors for their non-English patients? When exiting the garage the signage is for "credit card and monthly pass" - however this gate is where the average, now paying patient has to go and submit their parking ticket into to the kiosk for the lift gate to operate. With UConn Healths competitors offering free or validated parking, one wonders how many patients will opt to go elsewhere? Physicians do not have the ability to validate parking - even if they are delayed in seeing the patient past the appointment time resulting double the parking fee; and they too are against patients having to pay for parking. So if patients want to truly make their voices heard, then fill out the follow up Press-Ganey survey with appropriate comments - - patient satisfaction is a measurable attribute which is report to HSS. Also leave reviews on social channels such as Google.

My boyfriend has been to 2 different hospitals multiple times which were Hartford Hospital & here at UConn... Hes been suffering more & more everyday & the "doctors" dont know what is going on, either an Ulcer or Acid Reflux but keep sending him home with numerous meds. Im very upset about everythings thats happening (NEVER any definite answers.) The doctors keep dismissing him & what hes going through. God forbid something happens to him because they refused to do any tests that "supposedly" could detect things further, Im going to file a grievance then sue the hell out of this hospital for negligence!! This is total bulls**t! If you cant already tell, Im pissed! I guess because we dont have black American Express card or neither one of us have "Trump" for a last name were not worthy of their the best care. Also in every hospital Ive been to have "GUEST" WiFi, which guest means to me is, since Im a guest I should be able to get in without any log in info. But for some reason when I come to UConn it says "GUEST WIFI" but as soon as I try to connect itll ask for "Log In" & "Code" I asked personnel but no one knows the reason for it.

I went into the ER one night, close to midnight, with pain in my ears due to a previous double ear infection. I waited an hour to be seen, only to have the doctor look in my ears and say "I can see why youre in pain, but Im not going to give you anything". I was in some of the worst pain Ive ever felt, but apparently that warranted no treatment. When the nurse discharged me, she recited the typical "thanks for stopping by, I hope you feel better", adding insult to injury. I literally received NO TREATMENT, so how could I have felt better?! A few days later, I received a follow-up call from UConn, asking how I was feeling -no better. The woman on the other end urged me to see someone about my ears, because "an ear infection is nothing to play around with". Tell that to your ER staff! I went to a walk in, and they treated me far more effectively. I kinda feel bad leaving a 1 star review for all of UConn Health, as I go to UConn for Primary Care, OB/GYN, and Psych, and theyre all WONDERFUL, but the Emergency Room is absolute GARBAGE! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Very hostile and abusive work environment. Dr Verma seems to think its ok to berate and insult women. Once using "its how I talk to my wife" as an excuse. If this place had any ethics it wouldnt tolerate such unprofessional behavior, but instead it seems to reward it by firing the victim the day after she went to HR, very peculiar timing. If they in an interview promise to train and teach you, know thats a lie, instead of helping to further your skill set, theyll put you down, berate you, threaten to fire you, and make you feel as less then you are. Then again maybe this only applies to Dr Verma and his supervisor, Diane Mikuklak, who protected, aided and abetted this abuse and unprofessionialism. Definitly having a lawyer look into this.

Outpatient Psychiatry, 10 Talcott Notch Rd., Farmington, CT I would suggest that anyone considering getting involved with the University of Connecticut Health Center Department of Outpatient Psychiatry at 10 Talcott Notch Road be very careful before doing so. After working with this department for a matter of years, I came to see too late that I was being misdiagnosed and overmedicated, with disastrous consequences--within a short period of time after being prescribed a drug I later found that I didnt need, I started losing my otherwise fine teeth to severe drymouth and ultimately lost almost all of them. I would be especially wary of Andrea Barletta.
