    I'm so glad I found Dr Joann Samora, she is amazing! She really cares for her patients. I can say she is the best in Houston for sure!

    Being new to Houston, I had no idea where to go when I needed a doctor. Not too long after my move,…read moreI started having really, really bad shoulder pains. I found Dr. Odetunde online and called for an appointment. The secretary wasn't the friendliest, but she was still definitely nice. To my surprise, Dr. Odetunde was available for basically any time slot I wanted. At first, this worried me a little bit. After all, shouldn't a good doctor have a lot of other patients to see? I chalked it up as luck and scheduled an appointment for the next morning. The office is located right off of 610, just west of the Bennigan's and Ford dealership (right around Fannin I think?), in one of those huge office buildings. I didn't wait long at all, and Dr. Odetunde ended up being one of the nicest doctors I've ever met. She immediately figured out my problem (spasms) and sent me off with a couple of prescriptions and an x-ray order. After this visit, I saw her again for some sleeping problems and some injuries I got in a car accident. She remembers her patients and is very knowledgeable. I recommend her to anyone :) Now that I'm living in Ft. Worth, I miss having her as my doctor, even though I only saw her for a couple of months!

    She was our family doctor. She is very nice and explains thoroughly. She is a good listener and we…read morehad a very good relationship with her all those years. She is a very good find for a first primary care doctor when I moved to the area. Last year ( Dec 2010), she is not in private practice anymore.She moved to a corporate affiliation. We got a letter from her. We will really miss her as our doctor. It's such a loss for us.

    Two words: Dr. Horst. He's the director of the NICU, and…read morecouldn't be more personable. He's literally one of the best people I've ever met in my life. I never leave reviews but the imprint he's left on my life makes me so grateful to have met him. He was the first person to work on my son, born at 27 weeks, in critical condition, and he made time for me and my fiancé no matter what was going on. Solid guy. If your baby is in the NICU here, don't worry, you're in good hands. Other key figures that were remarkable: (might be misspelled, sorry lol) Dr. Simkolwitz and Dr. Moruna, thank you to all of you who helped care for my son, it's greatly appreciated. Best. -Chante'

    Nurses (Divine, Lauren, Ino, Marialee, Happiness, Igo and others that treated me when I was too…read moresick to get their names) were all incredibly , conscientious, knowledgeable, and caring. Reaction to request for help was always within a few minutes. Aides (Josie, Mia, Cristy and more); were very helpful, confident, gentle and conscientious about what I could and couldn't do about my specific wounds. There were all so helpful. Compared to my experience at another popular Houston hospital where I spent three weeks, this was like the Ritz compared to a Motel a6. My room was very spacious, impeccably, clean , with comfortable furniture. The only criticism I have is the TV way too big to be that close to the bed. It made me nauseous to look at the screen that close to my face. My friend got a big dent in her head because there's not enough room for that giant thing there. That saying, I still have to give it five stars. With my condition I've spent a lot of time in hospitals over the last four years and women's Hospital of Texas, Houston takes the cake. I will go back there whenever possible. For some reason, I thought it was only for women delivering babies. (Maybe that's why everyone has a smile on their face.). They have an Outpatient wing, second floor East Wing where I had colorectal surgery with Dr, Jeanne Lefave. He is an incredible, kind doctor that actually listens, what a concept. I will review him and Dr Hillary Fisher a uro/gynecologist, who also worked on me during the same surgery.

    It is so good to get to write a review about a physician on a personal level. I have been having…read moresome health issues for over a year now feeling super run down, severely fatigued, wanting to sleep all the time and a lack of desire to do anything at all, albeit work, hanging out with friends and/or going out in general. Not having a PCP and having access to a full array of physicians in the medical center, I searched for a physician who accepted my Aetna insurance and who was even in my building and found Dr. Dryden. I have to boast that this was THE BEST choice I have made regarding my general healthcare. Dr. Dryden is SO extremely personable, attentive, caring, compassionate and definitely listened to everything I had to say. She is just so down to earth and not one of those condescending physicians you find from time to time; it was like talking to a long time friend. She gave me her opinion of what was possibly causing my issues, what the options were if she was right, and sent me to get a whole plethora of lab work to check ALL of my vitamin levels, iron, etc... My lab work came back rather quickly, considering the Vit C was going to take the longest. In the end, it turns out I was almost completely out of iron and Vit D, and she let me know she was going to have me take a super high dose of Vit D weekly and about 750mg iron total a day. I inquired about an iron transfusion, and she said that is an option if the pills don't help enough. My own physician who I consult for asked who I ended up seeing; when I told him, he says, "You did great on that choice; Natalie is the best!" Was he ever right because I will go to her for all of my basic healthcare needs. Thanks to my new prescriptions, my back doesn't hurt anymore (which I found was caused by depleted levels of Vit D), and I am having a little more energy now. Do you want a great physician who is going to listen to you and not talk all over you? Call Dr. Dryden's office!

    Dr Dryden is very nice and caring. She was thorough spending a lot of time with me listening to all…read moremy concerns. I am a geriatric and I feel I am in a good place. Recommend

    Here is the email I sent the organization after I interviewed, followed up 4 times in the span of a…read moremonth and was ghosted by them: Withdrawal from Consideration "Dear Mrs. (recruiter's name omitted), After considerable reflection, I have decided to withdraw my application and remove myself from any current or future consideration with Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare Systems. The lack of communication and closure throughout this process reflects a level of disregard that I find deeply unprofessional and as an HR professional I cannot and will not stand for the disrespect and/or taking candidate's time for granted as they try to, in good faith and effort, obtain employment. Candidates invest significant time, research, and effort engaging with potential employers and when that is met with silence and/or with "ghosting", it speaks volumes about an organization's values, internal culture, and lack of empathy. While I had genuine interest in the opportunity, I no longer wish to be affiliated with a company that treats prospective employees in this manner. I will be sharing my experience with my professional network to ensure others are aware of how Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare Systems conducts itself in its hiring practices. I cannot properly express the level of disappointment this experience has left, however, I do hope you and your team take corrective actions in the future to ensure "ghosting" does not continue to happen because in the long term and whether or not you believe it, the only thing you're truly damaging is your own business. Respectfully," So, apply at your own risk but know that this organization at least in my case, has demonstrated complete disregard for its candidate's time and effort. I will never apply nor support any organization or function related to this organization and as long as I work in the Houston area, I will advocate for anyone considering this group to consider it twice before joining.

A doctor botched it, and then they got in a cover-up with my lawyer to hide it. This place works with shady personal injury attorneys, and they own the MRI clinic and give fake MRIs.
