I was surprised to see any negative reviews when I opened the google listing. I just spent 2 days at Methodist Hospital while my girlfriend was being treated in cardiology on the 10th floor of Dunn Tower. I couldn't think of a negative thing to say if I tried. All the doctors (we visited with 3 specialists on the 10th floor alone, after having met with different doctors in the ER earlier. Getting that many opinions definitely makes you feel good about the diagnosis, or maybe well-informed is a better choice of words). They also took the time to explain exactly why they eliminated possible diagnoses along the way. They had multiple levels of care working at the same time, doctors, nurses, caretakers, and even the Chaplain were constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They brought us pitchers of water, all her meals, extra blankets, pillows, etc. There wasn't a single request they did not accommodate and they did so in the fastest possible manner. They took their time, and they were very careful and thorough, and as soon as they were confident in their assessment they helped us get back home as quick as possible. There was even a small orchestra/large band playing in the lobby as we left. A special thanks to nurses Ruby, Coty, and Allysa for being so kind and amazing. Every single employee we met was great, these just happened to be the nurses assigned to us. And one last thanks to our other nurse Latoya for being so friendly and outgoing with the best smile on the floor and actually getting to know her patients on a personal level and really making a connection with them! Methodist, please take care of these nurses, they are awesome!!

My mother battled leukemia for 20 years (not at Methodist) and I am all too familiar with the difference that staff attitude and courtesy can make. It can turn a scary/traumatic experience and make it pleasurable, and as far as their attitude and courtesy, we give Methodist an A+. It's the kind of thing where you hope you never have to go through it again, but if we do, I hope we are at Methodist! It was like a hotel stay, where we were also treated medically, and that's the best you can expect from any hospital.

*Houston needs to figure out what the hell they are doing with that commuter tram that runs in front of the parking garage. If it's illegal for cars to "block the box" at intersections, i don't know how the city thinks it's okay to have their tram running red lights. If the light turns green for motorists and pedestrians, nobody should have to worry about a DAMN TRAIN running a red light and coming through the intersection. Not the hospital's fault at all, but it seems like a pretty big deal. C'mon Houston, if our hospitals are doing this good of a job taking care of us, we need to do better for them! City/Local governments have been handling this problem successfully for decades; if a train is passing, flashing barriers come down which prevent any cross-traffic. Is the city of Houston familiar with this technology? I'm sure a lot of people will think I'm being ridiculous, but I promise you would understand if you had spent 2 days worrying that your loved one had developed a freak heart condition, then get great news and a treatment plan, only to almost DIE when a TRAIN comes through an intersection illegally and almost takes you out.
