Our daughter is currently working here, which gave us a chance to spend some time in the area and see just how massive this medical district really is. The area is beautifully maintained and enormous, with world-class hospitals, research institutions, and medical schools all concentrated in one place. I jokingly call it "the Las Vegas of hospitals" -- the scale, energy, and constant activity are remarkable. Overall, an incredible medical hub and something quite impressive to see firsthand.

This review is for the the accessibility (parking, transportation, etc) to the different areas of…read morethe Texas Medical Center. Parking is one of the main things that should be addressed for a large volume center. Whether you are part of the large workforce in the many hospitals or a patient visiting the clinic or ER, parking should be easy. Some of garages are designed badly (two way traffic in narrow lanes and lots of blind spots). It can routinely take more than 10 minutes just to park in a garage, on top of travel time in Houston. As part of the business, parking seems to be a large source of income. I have gone to several locations in TMC, and the cost of parking is $$. Some garages charge $5-10 for the first hour, but I never have been in and out within an hour. Most garages are $10-20 for an average, single appointment. If you have lots of appointments, just parking alone gets expensive quickly. In addition, public transportation in Houston is not a good option. While the cost of a bus ride is much more affordable, the time you need to spend looking up routes and the time spent waiting and getting the bus can be easily 2-3 hours, if you aren't already inside the inner loop of Houston. Since TMC is a large campus, you would think that there might a regular bus loop for the different parking garages and hospitals and other buildings. However, since there are several different, large healthcare groups, each of the groups only provides transportation services to their own group of buildings. Privileges for a student or staff for UT Houston and Baylor College of Medicine are completely separate.

But when people really need the best care, they come to Houston from everywhere in the world. I was diagnosed with lung cancer and had a robotic assisted surgery which took half of my left lung and I was alert conscious and feeling good just a few hours after the 5-hour procedure. because Dr. Kim used robots so the incisions were small, and my recovery was quick. I was sent home the next day. One day stay for major surgery! The timeliness of care was excellent. it was 2 weeks from referral to meet with the surgeon and two additional weeks to schedule the procedure, so I was essentially cured of my cancer within one month. this compares very favorably to the other cancer hospital next foor, which has a waiting list. to summarize, I had a great surgeon, a state-of-the-art operating room, competent nurses and everyone had a good attitude. really couldn't be better.

Out of all of them, the ICU nurses at Memorial were the most caring, compassionate nurses we experienced. Although she was at the end of her journey and no longer responsive, they made sure to keep her clean and advocated for her until the very end. When she was finally pronounced, the nurses all came in and I saw a few of them crying...for a patient they had only been taking care of for 3 days. I truly wish my sister had been to this hospital when she was first diagnosed, but God knows. I'm truly grateful this was the final stop of her journey. Blessings to the ICU staff that gave her such great care.

Of course you don't get rest in a hospital but they made sure to try to make it comfortable. That room in my opinion was prehistoric. Nothing about that room gave labor and delivery. It was very small and cramped. Tv remote had to be switched out because that wasn't working the first hour. The sleep sofa was in an odd space. But once I delivered I was moved to a recovery room in the jones building. The room was much nicer, but small. The limit is four guest but to be honest that's too much. I also love the celebration menu for the new parents. Steak, lobster Mac and cheese, spinach and key lime cheese cake. A very good reward after not being on a clear liquid diet for two days.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr Mathis he and his staff are excellent and have treated me respectfully since I began seeing him in 2003 for my first knee replacement. I recommend him for knees, shoulders, and hip replacements. I first met Dr Mathis when we both were working at the VA Medical Center in Houston Texas over 30 years ago. He was then the chief of orthopedic surgery. The first time I saw him after he left, we both looked at each other with a sense that we somehow knew each other and we talked about the VA and that was our common connection. Dr Mathis shared with me that he loved taking care of veterans and like most orthopedic surgeons when it comes to knee replacements required morbidly obese patient to lose some weight prior to surgery. He shared a veteran story with me that changed the way he looked at the process. He told me he had a veteran who was a prisoner of war (POW) who had normally weighed over 200 pounds but when he was released from captivity weighed less than 100 pounds. The veteran went on to explain that he was not going to deny himself food after that life-changing experience. Their conversation showed me that he had the capacity to connect with his patience and me being a veteran and I see how it translates and reveals itself in the care that he and his team provide!

The facility itself was clean, professional, and my procedure went smoothly. My concern is not with…read morethe medical staff, but with the facility's billing practices and customer service. I underwent what was intended to be a routine preventive endoscopy/colonoscopy earlier this year. Unfortunately, my insurance is on a grandfathered plan that does not cover preventive care without applying the deductible, which resulted in several unexpected bills, including a ~$400 facility charge from this center after applying my insurance! I contacted the billing department several times by phone and email to see whether there was any flexibility or assistance available. I communicated with Tannya and Rana, but I found the experience disappointing. The responses were curt and unhelpful, and the only solution offered was to "discuss it with your insurance" or enroll in a payment plan. There was no willingness to explore any other options or show empathy for the situation. What I find particularly frustrating is that healthcare providers often negotiate rates and adjustments with insurance companies, yet when patients are left with substantial out-of-pocket costs, there seems to be little willingness to work directly with them. A payment plan is not the same as addressing an unexpectedly high charge. If you have a choice of facilities, I recommend comparing their facility fees before scheduling a routine preventive procedure. Paying over $400 (after insurance!) in facility charges for a simple preventive screening was an unpleasant surprise, and the lack of meaningful customer service made the experience even more disappointing.T

They are awful and I have told my senior friends I would find a different facility for them as they need skilled nursing since a number of them have various stages of cancer, dementia and illnesses themselves. Not everything was bad; physical and occupational therapy were stellar. The visiting doctors were great. But the CNAs and some of the nurses are way, way below par. I also had food allergies that were completely ignored making me violently ill. Once the dietitian came in about a week or so after I'd arrived, it occasionally got better, but items that I was allergic to kept being offered to me. I finally had to start ordering meals from outside since they apparently couldn't accommodate me. I also fell the 2nd or 3rd day after I arrived and, since my CNA had just gone on her dinner break and NOBODY answered my call button from either my bed or bathroom, I had an hour to kill on the bathroom floor and eventually, the toilet seat when I was able to get off the floor itself. When the CNA came back from her dinner break, she came in to check on me and found me in the bathroom with both call buttons engaged. When I asked why nobody answered the call buttons, a nurse said she wasn't a CNA, she was nurse and those were not her duties. Lastly, I had a CNA assigned to my unit who boasted about finding places to hide during her shift so she wouldn't have to walk and do her job. She even repeatedly sent me in to take showers alone and would show up by the time I was drying off. Not sure, but I think this is a major violation in their care criteria. If you love your friends or family members, do not send them here. You'll regret it.
