Was a very attractive hospital mostly used for day surgeries & was the location for Dr Nowzaradan's tv show My 600-lb Life. Is in bankruptcy, closed for 1 year & reported as such but Google won't update it because they say they can't confirm it.

Update: I passed this location a couple of months ago and it appeared that this surgery center has reopened under the same name. I don't know if it was sold or operated by the same company or organisation but it seemed to be open again.

I don't love University General Hospital at all!! This hospital murdered my Mother . They took out her body parts without family consent. They are killing the elderly. And cutting off legs , arms, and taking out body pats and selling them. The wound care doctor G , runs downtown to judge Wood when he can't get his way. Judge Wood grants him power to kill your parents, while Attorney D follows suite to protect uneducated dr. G . And the state takes control over your parents when you have legal rights to your parents. My parents was being injected with a drug to make her sick and unmobile not to walk. These doctors here in Texas has the law so sewed up that all Attorney's don't want to handle any case. Many attorneys are afraid of loosing everything that they have ever worked for pertaining to their careers. Why? Because many attorneys are being bullied by TX state attorneys like attorney D. Stature of limitations only give you 2 yrs to try and settle your case against any Medical Malpractice case in TX. That's not enough time. When you loose your parents it's takes about a year for some people just to get it together and go through your parents belongings. As a result to my parent's death, several of the insurance policies were rejected because of the lies that representative attorney December along with judge Woods lies reported on paper. This is not the full entire story. Just bits and pieces of the story. But enough for Houston citizens and People Around the World including PRESIDENT OBAMA can understand just what's going on in the State of Texas. The Hospital had to change it's name from University General to F Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston. To think that this hospital would hide it's true identity behind Houston. We as valuable people of Houston, TX and other States should not continue to lie down and let Hospitals, Certain Doctors put us or our families at risk of dieing just because you want to dismiss a doctor from butchering your parents, after being injected with some deadly chemicals that you know triggered the beginning of their deaths. Nurses need to speak up when they know that something is not right.

As others have said, the building is beautiful and the food is good, but the medical care is subpar and exploitative. I was transferred to Foundations for a pneumothorax on the strength of the recommendation of a family member. I was to undergo surgery. I arrived on a Wednesday night and was immediately met with a poor emergency room staff (nurses and doctors). They communicated poorly with me and one other. The doctor told me that my x-rays looked good despite the recommendations of my discharge papers. I finally granted a room around 2:00am.

The next day I received a surgical consult and it was deemed I needed surgery to repair the hole in my lung. We scheduled the surgery for Saturday morning at 7:30am. The night before, as I am preparing myself mentally and physically for surgery, I am told by a nurse (around 11:00pm) that my surgery was cancelled. She could offer no reason. Imagine being told mere hours before you go under the knife that it is cancelled, and for no apparent reason.

The next day, Saturday, I inquired with nurses and was told that the hospital's lab was closed from the weekend. And given that it was Labor Day weekend, I may not have my surgery until Tuesday - maybe. Sunday, with the support of family advocates, I inquired more and was informed that the lab is not usually closed on weekends. What actually happened, is the lab was shut down by the state because the hospital failed to turn in the necessary forms. Therefore, Foundations was outsourcing its blood work to private testers. However, this meant that the hospital cannot perform surgeries. I immediately went about transferring to a more professional Houston. Because, it obvious that Foundations is not.

In essence, Foundations admitted me, held me under its "care" for four days, scheduled me for "surgery" with the knowledge that it, in fact, was not able to perform any surgeries. It was simply bilking my insurance. I, nor any member of my family and friends will ever seek care at this hospital again. And, I encourage others in need of truthful, caring, professional health care to seek it elsewhere.

I had surgery in June 2006 when it was a new hospital. The room in the hospital was great and the nursing staff was all wonderful. My surgeon was Dr. Henry Small. I really believe after a year of chemo in 2004 and then a fall in 2005, I would not be active today had it not been for Dr. Small. He said he would not have been as good without that operating theatre Foundation provided.
