Dr. Victor Adan, MD

I had bad chest pains as I was driving from Denver to Crestone. Dr. Adnan checked to make sure that I wasn't going to have a heart attack, that my breathing and lungs weren't blocked and were ok, and that I didn't have a blood clot that could come loose and turn into a true emergency. He released me after running those sets of tests, two times, and advised me to see my own primary care doctor to ascertain the reason behind my symptoms. I thought he and the staff at Salida hospital were competent, kind, and professional.

I saw this Dr at the emergency room in Salida. I have severe swelling in my face due to a tooth. This guy was rude, barking questions at me like he's talking to a child that is misbehaving. He did nothing but give me 12 pain killers, in which i didn't fill until 3 days later when i couldn't handle the pain anymore. I don't like pain killers and i need a solution. I was told this could turn septic quick and i needed an emergency root canal. Instead of waiting for the VA to approve it, I'm going to pay out of pocket today, Wednesday, 3 days later, after it's not gotten any better

ER July 2020. This doctor discharged me to home while I was having an active infarct. (A stroke) I could not walk. He told me "it is not life-threatening". He was very arrogant. He clearly did not read the RN intake note which described the symptoms accurately. Doctor worked up only 2 of the 3 symptoms then seemed to label me a drug seeker when he couldn't figure out the diagnosis. Instead of referring to a better facility or better doctor, he sent me home.

What a joke. After 4 hours in the ER this guy finally arrived for 30 seconds. He had the nerve to tell me "I need to get a doctor". That was right after telling me he had no idea what was wrong with me. I guess he meant I need a "better" doctor. To make matters worse, the diagnosis, was based on my own description of events but I was not conscious to remember. This was in Salida CO @Heart of the Rockies Hospital. I could have stayed home and saved BIG $

Very cold. Does his job, but has no real bedside manner. Thinks of patients as incapable of knowing their body.
