Today was bittersweet. Although I wasn't a patient at THR but an RN student, my time there may have…read morebeen short, but I truly felt like part of the team. I completed my clinical rotation on the PCU unit, where the nursing staff was incredibly welcoming, supportive, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I want to give a special shout-out to Eloisa, Jerimia, and Shelby. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and willingness to teach. Your professionalism and dedication to your patients and students do not go unnoticed. Keep doing what you do best--you make a difference every day!

If you're in your early 20s, please advocate for yourself and make sure your pain is taken…read moreseriously. When I was a student at TWU, I came here often and never had an issue! I even drove here from Arlington because they usually had me in and out quickly. However, I came here three times in less than a week due to complications with my gallbladder, and my experience was very different. The nurses were incredibly caring, with one even holding my hair back while I threw up. My nurses, Victoria and Montserrat, who cared for me before surgery, made me feel at home during such a confusing and frightening time. I initially came in with severe abdominal pain, and they discovered I had severe gallstones. However, they sent me home with a diet plan and IV pain medication. When I returned a second time, they again determined I didn't need surgery and discharged me, despite the pain being so intense that my nurse had already prepared a room for me. I left without a CT scan or further testing. On my third visit, I was in so much pain during intake that they immediately put me in a room and started an IV with pain medication. I had to advocate for myself to get a CT scan, which revealed that my pancreas was inflamed and that I needed surgery. Thankfully, I finally received the treatment I needed and felt relief after surgery. Long story short, this experience could have ended very differently. It took three visits before I received emergency surgery, and I hope others don't have to go through the same experience.

I fell and broke my ankle while walking on my college campus last September 2022 and needed surgery…read moreif I ever wanted to walk again. As soon as I arrived to Medical City's ER in Denton I was immediately met with probably the rudest group of staff members I have ever encountered in my entire life. The front desk receptionist (I'd say in her mid 40's to 50's) was extremely rude to me as soon as I walked in. She had an attitude the entire time and acted as if she was mad or annoyed at me for "bothering" her with my injury. The nurse (mid 20's to early 30's with dirty blonde/brown hair) who checked me in/started triage was EVEN RUDER than the front desk lady, which I honestly didn't think was possible. She also acted as if she was annoyed at me coming in and "bothering" her, as if this isn't her job that she went through years of school for and CHOSE to do. I was in severe pain as I had just suffered a very bad break and obviously wasn't able to walk. Before I left the ER, the nurse gave me crutches to use to get around until the day of my surgery the next week. I have never had to use crutches up until then as this was my first time ever breaking a bone. I immediately had trouble using the crutches and lost my balance while trying to walk. The nurse told me to stand up and try to walk with them and then walked away to do something. As soon as I took my first step I immediately lost my balance and fell. The ONLY reason why I didn't fall all the way to the ground was because my boyfriend was able to catch me at the last minute. When this happened the front desk lady turned around and very angrily SCREAMED "YOU NEED TO GET UP AND BE MORE CAREFUL RIGHT NOW!!!". This was pretty much my breaking point with this ER as I OBVIOUSLY was being careful and would not just choose to fall on purpose. It's absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary to SCREAM at a person for not being able to use crutches after just suffering a severe ankle break. The last thing you want to deal when you are at your worst are rude staff members. These 2 women made my experience so miserable that I now refuse to ever go back to Medical City's ER in Denton when it used to be my go to ER for years. If you need to go to an ER I recommend going to a stand alone ER or just any ER other than Medical City's ER in Denton. I have had great experiences with other stand alone ER's located throughout the Denton/Flower Mound area. Despite this, I do want to mention one of the male staff members in particular. He was the X-ray technician (male, probably in his mid 20's to early 30's) and was the best ever. He was so so kind to me and just absolutely wonderful the entire time. He definitely made my shitty experience with the nurse and receptionist a little bit better and just my injury in general.

On some days they are great . But this last trip it was awful. I broke my ankle at work and my boss…read moretook me to the ER. The Dr comes in yanks my sock off my foot sending me into a crying fit, they took X-rays looked at me and said " just a bad Sprain here is some crutches, ace wrap and you can go " called my workers comp people and they send me to another Dr and my ankle was broken in 2 places.

Had an incident with some family during a trip and this was the closest place to go. I have said…read morebefore not sure how to review a hospital unless something was grossly witnessed or done, this didn't happen here what so ever. Went through the emergency room process, into a room within an expected amount of time. Very clean place.

I was only there 24 hours to recover from a tummy tuck and I was asleep most of the time and yet so…read moremuch disappointed me. My first 2-3 nurses were very kind, helpful and went out of there way to bring me pain meds without having to ask, checked on me periodically, made sure I didn't need help to the bathroom or a refill on my water. The last nurse I had there was terrible! I don't remember her name but she was a middle aged brunette working the late night/early morning shift. I noticed immediately when she first came in the room that she had an attitude problem. She didn't make eye contact, acted cold, treated me like an idiot and was mad anytime I asked for pain meds, water etc. Then, I asked her when dinner was being served because for the first time in almost two days I was ready to attempt to actually eat. She yelled at me and gave me a vague time table. Two hours later I buzzed her just to inquire about dinner and she yelled at me again and accused me of being impatient. Another hour later, after not having my dinner yet and seeing a dinner clean up cart being rolled down the hallway I buzzed her again... She said that dinner had already been served and cleaned up and I should have received it. My dinner was finally given to me but it was freezing cold and it seemed like they just threw a bunch of stuff on a plate for me because they were out of hot food. After I ate my husband decided to leave the hospital for about an hour to get some fast drive-thru dinner for himself. When he returned and tried to return to my room the nurses told him that I had checked out and left the hospital. After him having to argue with them for over ten minutes to prove that there was no way that I had left, they went to check my room and sure enough I was still there. Apparently SOMEONE erased my name off of the nurses board which is probably why I was ignored, not served meals and my husband almost turned away. To me that is just awful, who forgets about a patient? Before it was time to leave the next morning the same mean nurse came in to change my dressings before I left. She "stripped" my drainage bulb which was incredibly painful! When I screamed in pain she said "What is wrong with you? This doesn't hurt, I have done this same thing to hundreds of people and NOBODY ever said they felt anything" basically completely disregarding my pain and practically calling me a liar. One more thing about this nurse, my doctor was unable to visit me in the hospital for a family emergency so he told her to give me aftercare instructions. She gave me ALL of the wrong instructions. She told me I didn't need to wear my compression garment, she told me not to remove gauze from my belly button or to clean my belly button wound etc. When I visited my surgeon a few days later he was extremely mad that I had not been wearing my compression garment or cleaning my BB and it was infected. Bottom line is, this hospital is okay depending on who cares for you... but having my name erased from the patients list and not cared for is dropping the ball BIG TIME.

I also had my 4yr old with me , we don't do iPads so he brings a backpack with toys with him and likes to talk, he can and will talk your ear off. Not one person seemed annoyed and even engaged with him! It made me so happy to see people genuinely care for not only me. But took the time to interact with my son. I felt very well taken care of today and have been talking about it all day. Would recommend to anyone. They gave me shots and made sure to get me on track to getting better asap. In which I already am! Cant say enough good things. Thank you thank you

Extremely disappointing and disrespectful experience…read more I would strongly caution other parents about this clinic based on my experience. I want to make it clear that the two female nurses who cared for my child were wonderful. They were kind, respectful, compassionate, and professional, and I genuinely appreciate the way they treated both me and my child. Unfortunately, my experience with the gentleman nurse who took over the shift was completely different. Rogelio was extremely rude, dismissive, and disrespectful toward me as a parent. I made a decision regarding a specific procedure for my child and clearly communicated that I did not consent to it. Rather than respectfully listening to my concerns and having a professional conversation with me, he became visibly frustrated and belittling toward my choices. I felt as though my concerns about my own child's health were being dismissed simply because I did not agree with him. There is a huge difference between educating a parent about a medical recommendation and making that parent feel talked down to or disrespected for having questions and making a decision. What made the situation even more frustrating was that his attitude changed only after I contacted my mother-in-law, who is a PA, and asked her to speak with him. Once another medical professional was involved in the conversation, his demeanor suddenly became much more respectful and cooperative. That honestly made the entire situation even more disappointing. I should not have needed to call another healthcare professional for my concerns to be taken seriously. Parents should feel comfortable advocating for their children without being belittled, intimidated, or treated as though their opinions don't matter. I was advocating for my child, and I expected to be treated with basic respect. I am grateful for the two female nurses who were genuinely kind and professional, but unfortunately, the experience with Rogelio completely overshadowed the positive care we received from them. I will not be returning my family to this clinic. I sincerely hope management takes this complaint seriously and addresses how parents are spoken to and treated when they have questions or make decisions regarding their child's care. No parent should have to feel disrespected or intimidated for advocating for their own child.

This place needs a lot of work done to it, like major update, better maintenance people, this place…read moreis nasty and some of the staff just ignore patients' needs and some suicidal and told I will chart that is ridiculous helped that patient and many of them to just feel safe, these folks are not in jail, there to get there mental state right and some just go there cause they have no were else to go, no family and no one who cares, its very sad, They deserve to have human rights and feel safe going there after all they didn't feel good in first place, I have sympathy for all of them, also if anyone could donate things that would help, get community involved to make sure these individuals feel safe and their rights protetected.Mental Health is the most important thing for all of us, As far as the staff is concerned, The best lady to me in there was Rita, she was fun loving a people person and made me feel safe and heard, she and so many of the other staff, there work goes un noticed and I'm sure there under paid, they deserve more money for the trauma they go thru seeing these people suffering mentally every day and THE FUTURE MAY DO TO THEM FOR GOING THRU THIS EVERYDAY THEY ARE HUMAN TOO AND ONE STAFF MEMEBER EVEN CRIED AFETR SEEING ONE OF HER PATIENT BUT SHE WIPED HER TEARS AND MOVED ON UNNOTICED these people are doing a very hard job, I DONT think the healthcare industry notices that at all, To whom it may concern fix these conditions and stop treating them like they are in jail, their sick and depending on you to help make them well Remember this is short term facility, I did everything I could to help, I hoped I just touched one person's life, God Bless you all and I hope they get that all updated soon and please dont have snappy shitty people there or working there, teach love Hope Light the place could be a great place with all the right people a lot of miscommunication, please turn it around.

Now I understand why my 4 or 5 star review was treated as if I was staff. This place is like a a…read moremovie and it needs major reformation or to be closed down. This place has gone downhill & I don't think it could even go any further downhill... that's how bad it was in my most recent experience the in late summer of 2025. It was AWFUL. Patients screaming and yelling and breaking things. I heard a nurse say "why won't the police take this patient?" And the other nurse replied, "the police are the ones who brought him here." They don't have programs like they used to. When I was here about 10 years ago, Dr. Colin Ross had an actual trauma program and it was amazing. Now? They tell u they have a trauma program and all these wonderful groups to help, but it is incorrect information and one of the worst experiences of my life. My doc told me if I tried to leave AMA (against medical advice), that he would hold me there even longer. There have been protests outside this facility because of the horrible conditions, program & staff. I could go on and on, but u get the picture. I apologize for not updating my review sooner. If they tell u they have a trauma program, it's basically just the same women's program. It's the same thing. Oh, and in intake it smelled like piss. One of the worst experiences of a psych hospital that I have been to this go around.
