Dr. Erik Adler, MD

He was awful to my fiancé and I. As an RN working in the Emergency Room myself I could not believe how I had been treated. I went in for severe pain after having a dental surgery earlier that day. Having this surgery in the past without issue I knew something was wrong. Adler came in and took a picture of me and then left and came back with a needle and wanted to insert it into the surgical site in my mouth. My dentist the following day was relieved that I did NOT allow Alder to do this as it would have impacted the outcome of the procedure. I later reviewed my chart and Adler left this horrific note making me out to be this narcotic seeker. I can count on my one hand how many times I have taken narcotics. As an educated RN who loves medicine I was so insulted about his impression. My fiancé and I left AMA and will never return to this healthcare system ever again. Alder has no idea what he is doing and that was made evident by my dentists comments the following day.

This 'doctor' does not provide any value. If you are hurt or ill and have to visit the emergency room in Frisco, Colorado, I recommend you ask the attending physician's name before you sign anything to be admitted. If you hear this 'doctor's' name, leave and find your way to another facility. He only knows how to order tests and dismiss patients' concerns.

I went in for a low heart rate and chest pain. When the nurse was dismissing me I had a heart episode and Dr. Adler dismissed it as nothing and to send me home. was having a panic attack at that time and the nurse wanted to give me 10 minutes. Another nurse was sent in to dismiss me and all she did was yell and mock me for having a panic attack. she told me that the Dr. wasnt going to see me again and that he was with another patient. I understood and asked for a phone number for my cardiologist referral. 5 minutes later Dr. Adler poke his head around the door and yell at me that he was with a dying patient and that I'm wasting his and everyone else's time and to get out. All I could must to say was I know I know I'm waiting on a cardiologist phone number. I ended up in a different ER 3 days later for the same symptoms and was treated so much better even though they were far busier. they were confident in my safety but gave me the option of a halter monitor or to be admitted.

Horrible doctor!!! Went to ED with medication reaction. My vitals through the roof. It was a weekend so my doc was unavailable. I explain the situation and he says “We can’t treat your condition.” I ask for any help and he says take an aspirin. I’m writhing in pain and he does not cate at all. I ask what about other hospital EDs. He tells me, “Waste of your time. No ED in Colorado will help you with this reaction.” WTF?? I go home and hours later I am writhing on the floor wanting to take a bottle of Ambien so it will all end. Doctor on call for my primary won’t respond for 16 hours (and never did at all.) I go to the UCHealth Anschutz ED and they immediately treat my symptoms AND give me a prescription for the weekend. It was the exact medication that he said no ED in Colorado will give me. Well, this ED did so!! They treated me in a human caring responsive manner. This guy wanted me to go home and die. He should NOT be a doctor.
