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!

I have been here a couple times now, and I have to say that I have had nothing less than a five…read morestar experience in each of my visits. I don't think many people come to a hospital because they want to and so it is sure nice when you have a great people on the other side of this equation that make you feel welcome and cared for and that is exactly how I have felt on my visits here. My first visit was for a pre-surgical appointment or what I like to call a mini physical. I received caring and compassionate care, and at least while I was in front of the people I encountered I felt like I was the only person in the world that mattered to them, which was a great and comforting feeling. My second visit to the hospital included a stop in radiology, and then to preop surgery and postop recovery. Everyone along the way, really cared about me as a patient and helped me be as comfortable as I could be and what to me was not the most pleasant situation. I applaud the staff here and I applaud the management here because staff cannot be who they are, and let the light shine unless they are comfortable to do so and it was very obvious that these people are allowed to let your light shine and make patients feel better about what they are going through.

Let me begin by saying that this review is in regards to Dr. Evans who is at this location, as she…read moreis my primary care physician. I met Dr. Evans through a referral when I was laid up in a hospital bed at Baylor and was wanting to cut ties with my then medical team. I went to her office and basically interviewed her, I asked questions, things that didn't relate to my medical history to make sure that I was comfortable with her treating me. That was 7 years ago and I couldn't be happier to have Dr. Evans as my doctor. We have been through lots of ups & downs together regarding my medical health and she always remains positive as well as making me feel like she has my best interest at the forefront. On a recent visit Dr. Evans could tell something was wrong before I could even open my mouth to tell her. And when I left she told me if I needed anything before my next visit to not hesitate to contact her. I love Dr. Evans, I can't say that enough and if you are lucky, she can be your doctor as well.

Dr. Evans is the best of the best! She takes time to really listen and work through any concerns or…read moreissues. I have never felt rushed through an exam with her. She is also extremely knowledgeable with current research on best practices and medications. I've recently had issues getting through to the office by phone (which I've been informed is due to too many calls flooding their system and they are in the process of installing a whole new phone system to resolve the issue), however I've been able to message Dr. Evans through the MyBSWHealth app and get very prompt answers to follow up questions from a recent visit! She even responded to me on a weekend when she was not working! I don't want to refer people to her (because I don't want to make it hard to get appointments with her!) but if you're looking for a great doctor, definitely check her out! With regard to the overall office, I'm usually in and out in a timely manner. I've never experienced any unreasonable wait times and the staff has always been courteous.

This was by far the worst ER experience my spouse and I have ever had. The staff made us feel like…read morethey were intentionally keeping us there longer than necessary, with little communication or explanation throughout the visit. At one point, they even left the needle in my spouse's arm after a procedure and didn't return to remove it for an unreasonably long time. The level of care and attention was shocking for an emergency room. I've never witnessed such disorganization and lack of patient consideration. I absolutely do not recommend going here.

The nurses and administrative staff were incredible and caring. The food service and menu for breakfast lunch and dinner was restaurant quality, I even had lobster tail and steak if you can believe it, TWICE. The night nurses were a little different but took care of me well too. If you have the opportunity to, this is the hospital you want to be at. Hands down incredible experience all things considered. Diane especially is the heart and soul of this place, she deserves a serious raise and acknowledgment for what she really brings to this place. Thank you to everyone here who took such great care of me last month.

Pros: - I received my results within an hour of leaving my appointment. Other locations take multiple hours or even days. - Customers shouldn't have any trouble parking in their spacious lot. - Their lobby enforces social distancing, which includes chairs spanning into their hallways. - I found their receptionists courteous, and they processed my co-pay quickly. Cons: - They had my correct health information on file, but they couldn't process it, initially. (The clinic should've rechecked before calling me twice.) - To better enforce social distancing, the clinic could've processed payment over the phone instead of in person, and they didn't use gloves when handling my ID or credit card. - I arrived at 11:30 am and didn't get my test until 12:15 pm. - After receiving the test, they closed the door, and I sat there for twenty minutes. I then went into the hallway to ask a nurse if I could leave, and she said yes. In conclusion, would I go here again to receive another COVID-19 test? Maybe. I appreciate their quick turnaround time, but I plan on visiting another clinic in the future.

Come to find out they were trying to charge me for other stuff on top of my appointment deductible. Looks like I'm gonna have to go in person because it seems like everyone in that office is incapable of answer phones. Unprofessional! Update: The providers are great but the management is awful! The people at the front would hang up on people on the phone. And also would silence all the callas coming in. Now I know why my calls never got answered!!! And when I was indeed waiting, again, there was another lady that that came to ask them about her prescriptions. What a surprise they were also ignoring her calls to the point where she also had to come in person. Sad to say I'll be switching providers due to the lack of professionalism from the management and front desk employees.

Full review posted in the screenshot--because I have too much to say for one box…read more I've been coming here for over five years. It used to be a great experience when Megan, PA, was on staff. I saw her consistently for two years. Then she left, and the quality of care has steadily declined. My most recent visit was the final straw. I arrived 15 minutes early for a routine medication check-in and still waited 30-40 minutes after my scheduled time just to be called back. From start to finish, I was there for nearly two hours. During that time, I told the nurse I didn't want to do the usual urine drug test because of cost concerns. Instead of giving me a straight answer, the nurse passed the message to the PA, who then brought in a supervisor. I didn't ask for that. I wasn't being combative. I just asked a question. Eventually, I was told the test was required, and that could've been said up front. It would have saved a lot of time and frustration. The PA didn't ask how I was doing, whether the medication was working, or if I was having side effects. He didn't ask when my last period was--which matters, because I hadn't been in for months and the medication I'm on isn't recommended during pregnancy. He simply asked, "Is this still the right dose?" and when I said yes, said he'd send it off. After the supervisor stepped in, he came back and went through the motions of listening to my heart and then, oddly, checked just my ankles. I hadn't mentioned any issues there, and no other joints or areas were examined. There was no explanation. It felt like a weird box-check after an awkward delay. Since Megan left, there's been no continuity. I've been scheduled with a rotating list of PAs, usually without warning. You can check the portal to see who you're scheduled with, but if that changes after you check, there's no update unless you happen to log in again. Today I showed up expecting one provider and was surprised by someone I'd never met. And after five years, I've still never once seen the actual doctor. If you're looking for consistency or someone who tracks your history, you won't find it here. The phone system is equally frustrating. You can't book online--you have to call. And when someone answers, they almost always ask, "Can you hold?" but immediately put you on hold without waiting for an answer. A few months ago, I had to call four or five times in one afternoon because the hold system times out and disconnects after about 25 to 30 minutes. I spent over two hours trying to get through and never spoke to anyone. Meanwhile, when I'm in the waiting room, I've seen front desk staff standing around, chatting, or doing light paperwork while the phones ring. It's not a staffing shortage--it's a workflow problem. And if you're trying to do a walk-in visit, good luck. They advertise same-day walk-ins, but no one will answer the phone to give you a wait time. You're left debating whether to go to your established primary care office--where they know your history--or head to MinuteClinic, where at least you know what to expect. I've gone to MinuteClinic more than once for that exact reason. That says a lot. At the end of my visit, the PA casually mentioned they're now using a cheaper lab for the drug test. That would've been a helpful thing for the nurse to say up front when I first asked about skipping it. If the answer had simply been, "Yes, it's required, but we're using a more affordable lab now," I would've said okay and moved on. Instead, I got passed around, waited forever, and left feeling dismissed. I didn't ask for escalation--they created it. Between the long wait times, lack of follow-up, rotating providers, poor communication, and a phone system that feels like it was designed to wear you down, this practice no longer puts your healthcare first--despite what their motto says. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who values their time, consistency, or basic communication.

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
