Title:
Unjust
Treatment
and
Patient
Advocacy
Suppression
at
Moran
Eye
Center
-
Cautionary
Experience
Review:
Was
a
25
year
patient
at
the
Moran,
then
Booted
when
I
complained
about
rude
staff
and
poor
treatment.
Retrograde
staff
&
managers
who
put
patients
at
risk.
My
experience
at
the
Moran
Eye
Center
in
Utah
was
incredibly
disappointing
and
deeply
concerning.
Despite
expressing
valid
concerns
about
the
use
of
a
particular
medication
and
exploring
alternative
treatment
options,
I
was
met
with
a
hostile
attitude
from
the
staff
of
Dr.
Shakoor
where
they
sent
me
rude
emails
via
their
charting
system.
Dr.
Shakoor
never
personally
reached
out
to
address
my
high
level
of
concern.
In
an
effort
to
receive
better
care,
I
attempted
to
transfer
my
treatment
to
another
eye
doctor
within
the
center,
Dr.
Vitale.
However
after
I
scheduled
with
Vitale
I
received
a
rude
&
hostile
phone
call
from
a
scheduling
technican
for
where
I
was
told
Dr.
Vitale
would
solely
offer
the
same
treatment
as
Dr.
Shakoor,
even
though
alternate
treatments
were
available
for
my
condition.
This
was
not
Vitale
speaking
to
me,
but
some
measely
technician.
Not
a
proper
communication.
Rude.
Hostile.
And
they
also
added
as
a
jab
"the
appointment
type
you
scheduled
was
improper
and
thus
it
needs
to
be
cancelled
in
any
case."
Another
interesting
point:
Only
after
Leaving
the
Moran
Eye
Center
did
I
discover
a
savings
program
for
a
separate
medication
that
could
be
implanted
in
my
eye.
This
lack
of
awareness
on
the
part
of
Moran
staff
is
highly
concerning,
as
it
suggests
a
lack
of
thoroughness
and
attention
to
detail
in
their
patient
care.
Thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
in
drug
company
money
being
missed
out
on.
And
again
the
only
reason
I
found
out
about
the
drug
savings
program
by
the
drug
manufacturer
was
by
Leaving
the
Moran.
However
shortly
after
leaving
Moran
for
another
practice,
I
received
a
"My
Chart"
invitation
to
return
to
the
Moran
Eye
Center
and
self-schedule
an
appointment.
I
saw
this
as
an
"olive
branch."
I
didn't
use
the
invitation
to
schedule
for
over
2.5
months.
However,
when
I
used
the
invitation
"just
to
see"
and
to
maybe
check
out
another
doctor
there.
But
then
after
using
the
invite
&
scheduling
myself,
a
few
days
later
I
received
an
angry
phone
call
from
a
Moran
manager
who
informed
me
of
my
banishment
from
the
entire
center.
Subsequently,
I
received
a
written
letter
confirming
this
ban.
It
is
important
to
emphasize
that
at
no
point
did
I
ever
threaten
anyone;
I
simply
expressed
my
dissatisfaction
with
the
rude
staff
and
subpar
treatment
I
had
experienced.
My
unjust
banning
from
the
Moran
Eye
Center
raises
serious
concerns
about
patient
rights
and
advocacy
within
a
State-Run
facility.
By
suppressing
my
attempts
to
voice
concerns
and
transferring
my
care,
the
center
has
demonstrated
a
lack
of
respect
for
patient
empowerment
and
engagement.
It
is
disheartening
to
witness
a
disregard
for
patient
well-being
and
a
failure
to
address
systemic
issues
that
put
patients
at
risk.
In
light
of
my
experience,
I
caution
others
who
are
considering
the
Moran
Eye
Center
for
their
eye
care
needs.
The
Moran
Eye
Center,
puts
patients
health
at
risk.
The
manner
in
which
I
was
treated
and
banned
highlights
the
center's
disregard
for
patient
concerns
and
its
failure
to
foster
a
supportive
environment
for
patient
advocacy.
Every
patient
deserves
respectful
and
attentive
care,
and
it
is
regrettable
to
observe
these
principles
compromised
at
the
Moran
Eye
Center.
As
a
public,
state-run
facility
affiliated
with
the
University
of
Utah,
this
level
of
dysfunction
is
deeply
concerning.
The
Moran
Eye
Center's
practices
not
only
undermine
patient
rights
but
also
jeopardize
the
well-being
of
those
seeking
care.
