First let me state; Dr. Bogaert is superb and provides five-star care. The office staff dwells at the other end of the performance spectrum. The Wheatridge staff is reactive, condescending, empty of empathy, and conducts themselves in a manner not intended to help in anyway. In seeking to resolve a problem their office created, the two receptionists I spoke with became agitated and refused to entertain or address inquiries of any kind.

They focused exclusively on imparting their lack of responsibility in the matter. They did not listen to or validate my problem in any way. Superior, self-important, and pretentious are the key descriptors concerning their behavior. Ultimately, they blocked any communication with Dr. Bogaert. I subsequently spoke with their supervisor who blindly dismissed my comments. These people do not conduct themselves as medical professionals but more like petulant children. If you can tolerate a high level of frustration, sprinkled with a self-important office staff that is arrogant, dismissive, and rude, then this is the place for you.

I was told that my dad needed to be placed urgently for dialysis, after battling to get him to go, we went. The ER was notified, but took 7 hours to get admitted. Then the doctors from here do not communicate with each other, other care providers or family. We have been told many conflicting things and quick franly I think that they could care less if someone dies. They told my dad he would be discharged from the hospital on a certain day, despite not having a chair for dialysis available?! His doctor here was the only one he has trusted and now that trust is broken and I am not sure that any of us will be able to repair the damage.

CKC has several offices around the Denver area. Dr. Bosworth was the doctor that I visited in the Wheatridge ofc. I loved Dr. Bosworth! He was kind, attentive and answered all of my questions. The office staff the exact opposite. I had recently had foot surgery and was using a knee scooter because I was non-weight baring. The lady that checked me in, was cold, made no eye contact, just started her search about what she needed etc.

There were 2 large, heavy chairs in front of her desk that I couldn't move but she couldn't have cared less. I ended up tossing my envelopes of records to her. The medical assistant was the same, no eye contact, actually stopped at the scale and said "I need your weight", I waited for her to look at me and said I can't stand on the scale. Without saying anything, she turned and walked to a room.

Neither lady introduced themselves, they did not care about me and seemed annoyed that I was there. I hate it when I feel comfortable with and get great care from a doctor but their staff is so poor that I really don't want to go back.

This company was terrible to work with. They were rude, aggressive, and degrading. One of the women we spoke with was slurring her words and sounded completely intoxicated. Would never wish this upon anybody. Especially those that are in need of healthcare from people that will do the right thing.
