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 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 am highly concerned with the level of wound care my father is receiving while he has been…read moreadmitted (since Tuesday morning) in this hospital. He has a bad wound and was not seen by a wound specialist until Friday at 1pm after I advocated and advocated and advocated for him. 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.

If being a 'nerd' means being incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and passionate about what she does--then Kathy is the best kind of nerd.

She explained everything and encouraged me so much as my induction process started. Then my night nurse Nycole worked overtime to keep up with my difficult baby heart beat and held my hand when I got the epidural. Then when I didn't think I could encounter better nurses Ashley and Brianna (on her 1st day training) came in like super nurses and truly made this experience unforgettable. My induction was a long process and they continued to encourage me, put me in positions to help my labor progress and made me feel so at peace. Then my final nurse Markesia (I apologize for mispelling) who helped deliver my baby was so encouraging and worked overtime to help get baby down and delivered! TOLAC to VBACs can be so stressful and discouraging but when you have nurses like the ladies above I truly had no worries at all. Thank Yall so much for what you do.
