I recently had a cervical discectomy fusion at Bayshore Med.Center. I grew up in the Pasadena, Deer Park area, so I have been familiar with Bayshore almost since it was built. I have had multiple surgeries in both the Houston Medical Center and locally.

At Bayshore I received some of the nicest possible treatment from literally everyone I came in contact with, from the front to the exit, it could not have gone more smoothly. The hospital has been around for a long time, but do not let it's age fool you. Spotless floors, friendly (and experienced) staff, and updated equipment made my short stay much more pleasant than I expected.

While I was in the always cold surgery waiting room, I asked one of the nurses about a machine on the wall. She explained to me that when a client waits in their surgical robe, they often get cold. The machine circulates warm air under the sheets. A little thing, but an important thing! Somebody cared.

The staff seems to have been well trained in creating a comfortable and competent facility for our community and our local Doctors. As a patient, I felt I was valuable to the staff. Outstanding!
Don't judge this hospital by any old reputations over the past 10-20 years, it has changed so much I recommend that you give it new consideration.

Bayshore has earned a fresh look from our community!
