WATCH OUT FOR WRONG CHARGES! They say that Memorial Herman Hospital charges $130 for "FACILITIES”, NO MATTER WHAT; even if it is just a follow up (according to Alba). This is a lie because I also go to a different doctor (same building), and only pay my $40 copay, the same at countless hospitals I have visited in Houston. This is a very arbitrary charge because no hospital or office’s doctor charges for additional facilities, unless the patient is treated for special issues needing special facilities different from the doctor’s office.
I called BlueCross BlueShield, and confirmed that I am not supposed to pay for any other charge, except for consultation. One thing is to sign admitting possible charges in the case a further procedure is necessary, and something else is to be assured that you will be charged for "FACILITIES”, even if you don’t use them. They might want to justify saying that it was a misunderstanding; that it is a regular procedure to sign for it, and that they won’t charge, unless additional facilities are used, but I clearly asked Alba to clarify, and she said I would be charged, no matter what. She was not exactly kind with BCBS, when speaking by phone either.
I wasted my time going to this place, because I am not going to let them get away with wrong charges. The weird thing is that the first time, I went through the same process, and they did not charge for the supposed facilities, even though I got an EKG performed, so this time being a follow-up should be no exception, but Alba said that I had to pay because it was different circumstances. Really? A simple follow up must pay for facilities, or you wanted to get rid of me, because you don’t like patients that stand up for their rights? From the first appointment, I could tell they did not like me calling BCBS to confirm coverage.
They might want to say they don't know me, but they know who I am.

Jasmin in great. We always ask for her. She spends quality time with you.
My labor and delivery was a great experience at this amazing hospital, as it was five stars in all aspects! I felt That I was staying at five star hotel! I would strongly recommend this hospital for labor and delivery. Also I am very thankful for my brilliant doctor (Dr. Rafael DeAyala) who did my C section perfectly! Many thanks for this amazing hospital and its sweet nurses :)
Love everything about this hospital from the cleanliness to the nurses, doctors, staff members even their food is exceptional this is about the only hospital I’ll ever go to for any emergencies!
If you aren't obviously dying from a very obvious thing, don't bother coming here.
I'm sickly, I have a compromised immune system and 75% of the time I get the same doctor and he never does a physical examination, runs any bloodwork or really do anything other than throw whatever pill he thinks would get you out of his hospital.
This doctor has landed me in another hospital, septic, because of his inability to do his job!
I was there a few days ago. I tell him my symptoms, gives me something for the nausea and turns around and leaves on 45 seconds. Nurse comes in to take final.vitals prior to discharge, I start to puke. She left, I liked again and my husband asked her for some water for me, to which she says no because I'm throwing up.
We both figure maybe the doctor will come back and rethink things, but no, she comes in with my discharge papers and sets us on our way home.
Saw my M.D. the day afterwards. Turns out I have GERD with esophagitis, likely acute pancreatitis and possibly even a stomach infection.
Thanks man, you're just great 😑
Next time I'll drive to the MH off i10 and Gessner.

Fastest ER visit in my life. But even as an employee I'll complain about the price. 1800 dollars to sit, have my back touched, and get written for steroids. Over 400 of which I am responsible for. Not sure I am making a connection in represented value. Ce la vie.
Great staff and friendly very clean place..
I totally recommend this place to everyone.. Did I mention Heather she is awesome my mom is getting better thanks to her..
