Simmons Cancer Center .. New…read more My 73 year old wife had a lung scan every year since 2021 revealing "ground glass" effect causing recommend to another yearly scan. She missed 2023 because of couple extensive back and neck surgeries. 2024 scan revealed 2 very small nodules yet recommendation for wait a year see if they grow. Unknown to me maybe because my wife did not see it as significant. She kept this info from me. I would have pushed go back in 6 months at most. November 2025 one nodule had quadrupled in size now above the .8 MM that triggers biopsy. A good local hospital will remained unnamed performed the scans and biopsy but I knew she needed professional specialists. After some internet evaluation I might have chosen Houstons MD Anderson being number one in the world but distance and possibility of multiple traveling appointments caused opting for Simmons Center at UTSW. It has a very high rating, the same certifications, same modern technology and was closer access which is important for people of our age. It was a good decision as we met oncologist Dr Wei the next week who has an outstanding online video introducing herself to prospective patients. Just the video was reassuring! Even tho we had no appointment with Dr Nelson he came in and looked at our scans. Was also reassuring and said that they usually do surgery within 30 days if they think it is the correct path. This was music to my paranoid ears. PET scan and breathing test was required then he lived up to his promise removing both nodules and several lymph nodes for lab evaluation in the same surgery December 2025. They think she is cured (KNOCK ON WOOD) In summary I would give 6 stars if possible for both these doctors and even tho we did not have to use her expertise Dr Zhang (the radiation specialist) also was welcoming, friendly and very professional. These doctors and every one at Simmons from valet to pre and post surgery nurses were pros and always polite and friendly. We did not have to partake in their Hope Lodge which is a free hotel for their patients. Radiation would have been daily for 6 weeks and living 75 miles away would not have been able to keep up with that drive every day. But it is there if you need it. I have read some reviews about taking too long to get appointments or having to wait past time of appointment and would suggest achieving excellent trained specialist is the assignment for you or loved ones! Organizing yourself and your records will streamline the process of dealing with a large and very busy organization. Maybe write down notes in your smart phone listing questions as you think of them before the appointment. Finally patience might be the best attribute to becoming a successful patient. Let me assure you these people will be on it quickly

I have attempted to schedule a neurology consultation for my wife regarding Deep Brain Stimulation…read more(DBS) surgery, and the process has been a total nightmare. After five separate calls, I have encountered nothing but incompetence and conflicting information from the administrative staff. The communication hurdles are constant. I was initially told I needed a specific permission form to speak on my wife's behalf. After securing and submitting the necessary documentation, they still refused to speak with me, claiming they now required verbal consent--something they previously stated was not the protocol. DBS is a major, life-altering procedure. If this level of administrative disorganization is a preview of the care and coordination my wife would receive during surgery, I am deeply concerned. A world-class medical facility should have a staff that knows their own policies. At this point, I have zero confidence in their ability to handle a complex surgical case if they cannot even handle a phone call.

I am honestly quite surprised to see Baylor University Medical Center has such a low overall…read morerating, because my experience (while a bit unconventional) was a really positive one. I visited on a random Friday afternoon specifically to see The Adrian E. Flatt, M.D. Hand Exhibit, and it was absolutely fascinating!!! Dr. Flatt, one of the foremost hand surgeons in the world, made significant contributions to orthopedic surgery and began casting and bronze-coating the hands of notable individuals back in 1962. Walking through the exhibit, I was truly mesmerized by the detail and individuality captured in each cast - it's incredible to see just how different people's hands can be. Highlights for me personally included the hands of Walt Disney, Louis Armstrong, Katharine Hepburn, several US Presidents, athletes like Troy Aikman, etc., and even expeditionists like Everest survivor Beck Weathers. The exhibit is located in the lobby area of the hospital and appears to be open to the public, though you will need to obtain a visitor pass so be sure to bring your ID (a photo of it on your phone works too... ask me how I know). The exhibit itself is free to view. It's more of a hallway-style display, a bit tucked away, quiet, and not busy. There's something oddly human and grounding about focusing on something as simple as hands in a place where so much serious care happens. I also grabbed a coffee from the nearby cafeteria and had no complaints, it was actually quite good and a nice added bonus. As for parking... I can't confidently speak to that, as we may have risked it a bit (oops). So while I can't speak to patient care (thankfully), this visit was a memorable and worthwhile experience. It's a unique hidden gem within the hospital and a great place to spend a little time if you're nearby, especially if you're looking for a quiet moment of reflection. Five stars for this unexpected find. Thank you to my friend and Atlas Obscura for the intel!

Rarely does the staff get credit where it is due, and that is regrettably disappointing on many fronts, especially in an often-thankless profession. Just an observation: Please be mindful that Baylor is a TRAUMA hospital. The wait times are dependent on this so adjust accordingly. It is busy, crowded, and also downtown. If people are there for a common cold, a bacterial infection, or basic injuries ----- Go to urgent care. Now the good stuff. We arrived Friday 12/26/25 and stayed through 12/29/25, to be graciously specific. I heard the words no parent wants to hear. Multiple. Facial. Fractures. My heart broke in that moment. ****** Nathan Baker, DD/S: My son's injuries were severe and as a mother watching her son suffer, my mental state relied on, and, was directly affected by his care in this specific moment. He said, "It's okay if you need to step out". I did. I had to, and he knew it. He spent literal hours sewing my son up and piecing him back together. It's been over a week now and I'm grateful for the quick response when it mattered. He was attentive, patient, and focused. Finally, relief, and a much-needed exhale. I realized everything was going to be okay and that was huge. This isn't just a staff member.. this is a presence with heart and dedication to his patients. The hospital should be so lucky. ***** Sean Young, DDS: Calm, direct, and available for questions at any time. Morning checks were given in manageable parts, even with emotions running high and sleep questionable. ***** Arwine (nurse on the 6th floor of the Roberts Building): Day 1. Comfort, predictability, and genuine care. She wasn't just invested in my son (which she was) she truly cared about my mental state and reassurance when it mattered. Every morning we were first on her rounds, which was a comforting mix of predictability and consistency. She figured out how to adjust the bed for me to sleep on and the emotional compass in the room, all at the same time. She used humor to help me, which I appreciate more than she will ever know. On the day we discharged, the hug and realness in her words are still felt. She is a light in an often-hopeless place and her energy will never be forgotten. ***** David Schwitzer, DDS, MD: He worked magic on my son during surgery and even in the follow-up and aftercare, no difference, because nothing loses its steadiness when passion runs intention. At some point, you just realize the care team is stronger than your worries and you can finally relax and breathe with more ease that you thought. People don't just work here, they live here, they pour that into their patients- and it shows. Long after healing is done, we will still be grateful, we will still remember them, and we will still be appreciative, despite the trauma that forced it. Much love to this care team!

Parkland Hospital Cafeteria is hands down one of the best cafeterias I have ever been to, and that…read moresays a lot. This is not your typical hospital food situation at all. It genuinely feels like a well-run food hall with intention, quality, and pride behind everything they serve. Breakfast and lunch are a standout, especially the smoothie station. The smoothies are excellent, and what really sets it apart is the build-your-own smoothie bowl option. You can customize everything exactly how you want it, from the base to the toppings, and it is always fresh, flavorful, and filling. It is one of those things you actually look forward to instead of just grabbing out of convenience. Thursdays deserve their own shoutout because the chicken tenders are honestly the best I have ever had. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and consistently good every single time. People genuinely plan their week around Thursday for a reason. What I really love about this cafeteria is how thoughtful and inclusive the menu programming is. They celebrate Black History Month with special menus, feature diverse cuisines regularly, and recognize events like Lunar New Year and other cultural celebrations. It makes the space feel welcoming, intentional, and reflective of the community it serves. You can tell a lot of care goes into menu planning, not just food production. The salad bar is another huge highlight. It is impeccable. This is a build-your-own salad concept, but unlike a traditional salad bar, it is not one where every customer is touching everything. The setup is clean, organized, and well-managed, and the ingredients are always fresh. You get exactly what you want without the usual concerns that come with a standard self-serve bar. The deli is fantastic as well. You can fully customize your sandwich, and the quality of the ingredients and consistency of the service really stand out. It does not feel rushed or thrown together. Everything is done with care. Overall, Parkland Hospital Cafeteria is exceptional. From the food quality to the variety, cleanliness, cultural celebration, and customization options, it sets a very high bar for what a cafeteria can be. Whether you are there every day or just visiting, it is a place you will actually be excited to eat at. Truly a standout and something Parkland should be proud of.

When I admitted to the hospital I was worried about my leg swelling, pain, and to be on that continue diuretic medications, but the way Selma makes it easier for me to understand that she print a educational pamphlets for me with pictures that makes me understand my disease process. I also have positive experience with Methodist doctors' team, but they only visit me for 30 seconds to 1 minutes, but nurses are the one who deals with me for whole 12-14 hours a day, which makes a big impact on my life. One of the nurse aid told me Salma works like 4-5 days a week, which is a lot, but I don't feel that way by her positive attitude and energy towards her patients, she always knocks my door and calls me "hi friend, are you ok lol", that already making me feel like I am not a sick person lol. I wish I would never be sick, but if I would I wants to be taking care of under methodist hospital 4-south nurse Salma M. I don't remember where she is from, but all I remember was her smiling face, positive attitude and funny talks which makes my day better. I would also like to share that, as a patient, I can tell we already have a stressful day going on with a lot of interruptions, lack of sleep, away from family, pain, inconvenience environment, but a positivity from a nursing staff truly changed my day. I want to say a big THANK YOU to Salma for her best care and positivity towards her job. I was lucky to have a joyful nurse for all three days. Thank you Methodist once again.

A wound nurse was requested on the day of admission and the following day but they never came. A wound doctor was finally requested last night (Thursday). This inadequate level of quality care could have an extremely negative impact on the outcome of his wound. Remind you, this wound was brought to this institutions attention Monday at 2pm when he was taken by ambulance to the ER. I was told by a staff member of this hospital last night that the wound specialists are understaffed and are up to 6 days behind on seeing patients in this facility. I feel this violates my father's patient rights for patient care and safety. I requested to speak to the House Supervisor yesterday evening and have yet to be contacted by them 24 hours after my request was made to the Charge Nurse. I have contacted the Patient Assistant Office to file a formal complaint. We are currently waiting on the CT results (ordered by the Wound Doctor this afternoon) of his foot, to better understand the extent of damage, the level of necrosis and all this wound entails after the neglect inflicted by this hospital.
