Use urgent care for flu, strep, UTIs, ear infections, minor fractures, sprains, lacerations, and rashes.

UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital at Fitzsimons is the state's flagship Level I trauma center.

Dr. Kenneth Farrell saw my for a lingering cough. He said he was prescribing a steroid for the cough, and when I asked if I could have cough medicine he said he would give promethazine. When I went to pick up my prescription, there was no steroid. Also, his bedside manner was off-putting.
