Brought my husband to do an MRI here. We were very impressed by the care, staff greeting and attentive nature, hospital cleanliness, and organization of the Outpatient area. He was seen on time, with no wait. The procedure went well with all explained.

This hospital has saved my life several times over the years. Yes, you have to wait but, it's not their fault. They go by priority and saving lives.
They took care of both my parents before their passing and although not perfect, whenever they're was an issue they fixed it right away.
At least 3 times I was close to dying and I'm here because of their care.
I got a few extra years with my parents thanks to them.
Their doctors and care staff are the best ever. I can only speak from my experience and I would highly recommend them.

I had a procedure done in the Heart Center of the Sugarland location of Houston Methodist yesterday. I just wanted to thank everyone there for their extreme level of proficiency and patient care. Dr. Sonbol and the team there are a real gift to the Houston Area and the facilities are top notch.

Under staff ,Six floor.
They shutdown 2 of 3 elevators for the weekend.
Not safe . I wonder if that's OSHA compliant. What happens if that elevator quits all the people would have to use the stairs. There are seven floor.
Everybody has to jam into one elevator talk about spreading some germs .
Not SAFE. What to save some money? Sorry !

I dearly love this hospital but I have a problem with the pain machine doctor’s office they referred me to in the emergency room. I was referred to Dr. Mohammad Azzam. Tried to make an appointment but the receptionist was inept. After speaking with someone who seemed to be sleeping and disinterested, I decided to go to my PCP for a referral. Many people who posted wondered why Methodist would recommend this office.

I had a bit of a wait while in extreme pain, the nurse explained they were short handed but there was only 1 person ahead of me. Dr Nguyen fortunately saw the issue on the cat scan (bowel obstruction) and sent me home with a laxative that takes 2-3 days (!) to work. It is day 4 since Methodist and almost 2 weeks since I started going to different ER's only to be told different diagnoses and forms of treatment that weren't effective. While the laxative is starting to work slowly, I have nothing for pain, and OTC pain medicine makes constipation worse. I called to see if I could use an enema but the woman said they don't give out medical advice over the phone. I have had 1-2 hours of sleep per day and am trying to function like that. Not working. Now I understand why people self-medicate, which sometimes results in overdoses. They are looking for relief from their doctor, but the doctor gives them treatment that has a layaway plan for results and relief. After 2 weeks of misdiagnoses from place to place, I finally found someone who would listen and look at an urgent care, and found out I have shingles. All of the antibiotics I was given gave me more pain and did nothing for shingles except make it worse. I was constipated on one side because it is the side that the shingles is on. The inflamed nerves were affecting my digestive system function. Just an FYI to those in the medical community, since I was told my side hurt so bad from the pressure of being constipated. Wrong!**P.S. I forgot to mention that I had a bruise on my right arm from a failed IV started at UTMB, so Methodist inserted an IV in my left arm and the imaging department said it was not good enough to put dye in so they put another IV in my right arm in the bruise I already had, while looking on an ultrasound machine for a vein. Very painful, even while high on morphine that I was given when I arrived. It is unbelievable to me that at every ER they claim to not be able to find a vein, but when I get a blood draw at Kelsey Seybold they manage to find a vein effortlessly and insert the needle with minimal pain. How nurses receive their certification yet can't insert an IV is beyond me.

The staff were friendly and kind, and my needs were met in quick time. The lab work took a bit more time than I thought it would but I received care quickly and with a smile
