Yet they were cautious about my distancing from other patients and kept me safe at all times. The receptionist, the Technical lady who took the x-rays, the PA who spoke with me and took a first look, Dr. Gallagher and the checkout lady were all so nice, yet efficient and professional. Second visit to discuss surgery was exactly as fine! From entering to leaving their office, I felt like a very special person, a king!!! Their work is excellent, including Dr. Gallagher's. The surgery went as he had explained. The recovery was as expected. Candidly, the first 2 weeks was a bit uneasy. But the two catheters into the upper and lower knee kept pain at bay for the first 5 days. Then the Prescriptions definitely helped me minimize pain for the next 4 weeks until I was out and about. I ran out of one of the meds and used the portal to reach Dr. Gallagher. He ordered those from my neighborhood pharmacy and my wife picked them up in couple of hours. In all my confidence in Dr. Gallagher and his team is extremely positive. You can trust their word and their work plus they'll make you feel great!

20 years ago I was a patient, and I have never forgotten the terrible experience with staff at all…read morelevels. It was so bad that they gave me post op instructions twice that were to walk as weight could bear as soon as possible after surgery, only to have them completely reverse that hours after getting home. They misbandaged my knee after surgery to completely undo the work of one of the three procedures. They told to not call them the first night and I had the most painful experiences of my life because the pain pump didn't work (and I've had a kidney stone). Billing issues were rampant including double charges and more (two sets of crutches, really?!). Front desk treated me like I was faking an injury that required three surgical procedures. The PA was rude and would give contradictory instructions. I was told to come for PT but then told after first post-op PT I shouldn't do PT for some time yet and blamed me for their mistake. I very strongly do not recommend this doctor or his practice for anything. If anyone at his practice told you the sky was blue, you can be assured it's not. Believe the bad reviews.

Previous to this last surgery, I had extreme pain (unable to walk from sciatic pain, "recliner-ridden" for 4 weeks). Dr. Spann laid out the options, gave straightforward and thoughtful analysis, and reassured me that the results could be positive. I expected top-notch diagnostic and surgical care, and got it, of course. Up and walking without pain the day of surgery, recovery pretty brisk (stick with the PT, guys: ATI staff in the same office were brilliant, highly recommended...). What I didn't have any reason to expect was the personal commitment by Dr. Spann, his assistant Amy (why can't I remember her last name??), and his phenomenal PA-C, Joseph Hagen. This team was available literally 24/7 (especially Joseph) prior to the surgery, advocating for me with insurance, fine-tuning meds in the meantime, and checking in with real interest for 12 months of follow-up. Dr. Spann has gone through this himself, which I believe adds a bit of empathy, but the entire team and front office simply couldn't have been more supportive, professional, competent.

I just spent 5 intense days in this wonderful facility for removal of a massive gallbladder. It was…read morequite an ordeal and I'm not gonna pretend I remember every moment perfectly because I was being given IV pain medication. First of all... Donna, my ER nurse was amazing. She is so easy to talk to, personable, knowledgeable... and she can sure hit a vein! They once called her up to my hospital room to insert a new IV and I was thrilled to see her again! I've had previous experience with Donna and she's always wonderful. I had two doctors. My surgeon, Dr. Alex Santos, is amazing doctor! Performed a very difficult removal of a gallbladder the size of a baseball. Very attentive. The on-site doctor, Dr. Laney, is probably one of the most caring doctors I have ever encountered in a hospital. He was always nearby. Great bedside manner. You can tell this man truly loves helping people. My nurses were like superheroes. They did everything they could to make sure I was as comfortable as possible during a time when I was experiencing the worst pain of my life. I can't say enough. James handled my first (and most intense) night like a champion. He even had me doing breathing exercises with him. He was born to do what he does. I can't thank him enough! The other nurses were all wonderful with the exception of one! The last nurse I had, Dan, was the polar opposite of every other nurse. Dan was beyond rude. I fell that he chose the wrong profession. He did and said so many ugly things, I don't even have the energy to type it all! But he shouldn't be a nurse. I wouldn't even want that man making me a latte. For now I will assume Dan is gone, or he was having the worst day of his life, because so many other ppl here need 5 stars. But he would get 1. The woman who made my meals was also darling! She found out I was vegan and after a day... she had done her research and added things to the menu special just for me! Just above and beyond! But of all the staff, the one who holds my heart is the Tec, Curtis! Curtis was there for me through it all. He was kind, compassionate, witty, caring, and he was ahead of everything that was happening. Always making sure I had what I needed and was doing what I needed to do. He even helped me walk the halls during recovery. I will miss him dearly and hope I can somehow thank him for being there with me through something so difficult. Thank you Curtis! You're my MVP. And thank you to the entire staff (not Dan) for everything you did for me! I will only use this hospital from here on.

100 stars if I could Truly the best medical care I've ever…read morereceived! I came here based on reviews because when you're in pain you want to be nurtured & treated well. Their staff was exceptional & went beyond that. Oddly enough for a hospital it felt homey & comforting, but truly it was the staff. Fastest attention for a kidney infection on level 10 pain, shaking in my boots. I frequent emergency rooms like it's an air bnb bc of my kidneys so I KNOW quality care vs lack there of. Was there for literally two hours & you'd think I left with a kidney transplant bc of how well I felt. Maybe it was the drugs maybe it was maybelline. Not my typical Sunday brunch recommendation, but if you want the best of the best, Westlake is the place to be! Thank yall ‍

Dr. Dumitrescu (or Dr D as most people call him) is nothing short of a miracle worker…read more I've been suffering from nerve pain due to a herniated disc for over ten years. My pain required me to take opioid pain medication a few times per month in order to function properly. After consulting with Dr. Dumitrescu, he created a custom plan with the intention of stopping my pain at the source instead of treating with medication. We completed the plan last week and it's been over three months since I've had to take any pain meds. This is the longest I've gone without the need for meds in over ten years. What sets Dr. Dumitrescu apart from the other places is his dedication to looking at all aspects of healing the body. We started with a few minor outpatient procedures combined with physical therapy, supplements, and hormone medication. We have now moved into a strength building program in order to help prevent future back injuries or issues. I could not be more delighted with the results and being pain-free. The physical therapist, Katie, is absolutely wonderful to work with. If you're experiencing pain, I highly recommend visiting Dr D and having a consultation. He will look at the big picture and is clearly very driven to help people lead a happier, healthier life.

I have been dealing with chronic pain for decades. When I'm in the waiting room and I hear them ask a patient about their pain level and I hear the patient say, "oh I am at 10!" I see someone standing unassisted, not sweating and talking coherently. This is not a 10! The current team is great. However, years ago, I too had problems with the front desk. It is rock-solid there now, it's a pleasure to work with them. They are absolutely part of the solution and not the problem! Doc runs a tight ship, my improved condition is directly related to the care I get here. As an aside, I have been dealing with a circulatory issue (plantar edema) for several years. After seeing a couple of doctors, with the only solution being compression and elevation I was frustrated. Working with the blood side of the practice, it turns out I have an endocrine issue! Who knew a pain doc would find that? Performance above and beyond any reasonable expectation.

She spent a lot of time in the surgery suite making sure everything was addressed in the shoulder. I am now 2 months post-op and the range of motion is almost completely back. She is a great surgeon that my husband is now going to have total knee replacement in the coming months.

Parents, please be aware…read more My 22-year-old daughter was seen at Texas Orthopedics for a broken ankle. At her second appointment -- just 10 days after the fracture -- Dr. Robert Blais asked about her pain level. She explained that she was still experiencing significant pain. At that point, he stated he was concerned she could have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). We were stunned. It had been 10 days since a confirmed broken bone. From what we understand, pain at that stage is not unusual. While waiting for imaging, my daughter searched CRPS online. She discovered it is sometimes referred to as the "suicide disease" because of the severe, chronic pain associated with advanced cases. By the time we left the appointment, she was in tears -- terrified that she was facing a life-altering diagnosis. Whether CRPS should or should not have been mentioned that early is a medical judgment. What is not debatable is the emotional impact of introducing a severe, worst-case condition to a 22-year-old patient so soon after a routine fracture -- without clear context about probability, diagnostic criteria, or reassurance. The result was immediate and profound distress. Physicians absolutely have a duty to consider complications. They also have a responsibility to communicate carefully, proportionately, and with awareness of the psychological impact their words carry. This was our experience. Parents and patients: ask questions. Ask about likelihood. Ask about timing. Ask whether a concern is common, rare, or simply precautionary. And if something feels disproportionate, seek a second opinion. Advocacy matters.

He was not listening to the problems that i was explaining. he does not have patience to listen to the problems, rather he was just asking the questions that he wanted to and direct us towards the XRAYS.

I felt like he was doing business with human bodies rather treating them.
