Methodist Hospital

This was the second time I was sent to the ER, I had to go by EMS because I could not walk or stand without getting very dizzy. I wasn't surprised when we went in and there was a long line of First Responders waiting for help. I was surprised that the First Responders were surprised that there was a line. I was finally laying in the hall on a bed and the nurses were doing the check-in. As busy as everyone was their compassion and interest in detail was impressive. As they were taking my intake information my Dr, Matthew McDowell, OD. was the best. We talked a bit about why I was there because he said that he wished all his patients had Labs that were as great as mine were. He listened to my whole story of being sick with mouth sores and vertigo since November of 2023 and how my other doctors have just been sending me to the ER because the Rheumatologist I have been seeing didn't even see me before insisting I go to the ER. He was the second ER doctor that told me that he didn't understand why a Rheumatologist would send me to the ER because they don't work in the hospitals. He was very blunt and honest with me, I was being told that I needed to see an Oral Specialist and he again said that they don't have one of those either. I totally felt like I was just being sent away so no one else had to deal with me. When he saw all the Autoimmune problems I had he was very compassionate and explained that I didn't need to be at the hospital I needed to go home before I caught something that could really hurt me. As I said the honesty that I received was so refreshing that if I have to go to the hospital again I am going to the Methodist. He did give me medication, and within about a month I was feeling much better. Thank you Dr. Matthew McDowell.

Registered Nurse: SANDRA working 7 p.m.-7a.m. (12/3/23) was phenomenal. Reassuring, upbeat, sense of humor, excellent patient teaching, after being in the ER rm. 16 for over 7 hours, she helped expedite things, and kept her word, when we asked for things. Previous shift was either overwhelmed or just plain forgot. As for the Adult Emergency Room area, I understand they were very busy, must have seen at least 40 patients come in on gurneys, wheel chairs, etc., elderly, & that the hospital must establish their priorities, nevertheless being there for almost 12 hours, was the most we've ever experienced in ER. Things have changed dramatically since I was in the medical profession 15 yrs. ago. Continued Success to SANDRA!

Although nurses and AIDS and doctors outstanding I can hear for a leg amputation and they make me feel very comfortable the food is great too

Brought my son to Methodist Hospital emergency department to be treated for DKA after spending approximately 10 hours at University Hospital, for the same issue. University Hospital, in my opinion was negligent in the handling of my son's medical emergency. Methodist hospital on the other hand was a great experience from check-in to registration the ER doctor, the ER nurses and the lab techs took immediate action with labs and getting him set up in the emergency room for treatment. He was moved to ICU and the staff up there was phenomenal. My advice to anyone who wants it is to never go to university hospital.

Dear Methodist Hospital Staff, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent care and support that I received during my recent stay at your hospital. Your dedication and commitment to patient care are truly remarkable and greatly appreciated. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the kindness and professionalism of everyone I encountered. Your staff demonstrated a level of compassion and expertise that put me at ease and helped me through a difficult time. The nurses, doctors, and support staff all worked together seamlessly to ensure that I received the best possible care. I was particularly impressed by the way your staff communicated with me throughout my stay. They took the time to explain my condition, answer my questions, and provide me with the information I needed to make informed decisions about my care. I felt well-informed and confident in the treatment I was receiving. I cannot thank you enough for the exceptional care I received at Methodist Hospital. Your staff truly went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and well-being. Please extend my thanks and appreciation to everyone involved in my care. Sincerely, Anthony [room 1009]

I'm so surprised at the number of negative reviews that have been posted about Methodist Hospital. Through my many years of experiences with using this hospital for treatment, I've only received excellent care from the nurses and the doctors. Everyone has always shown great concern for my health. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and all of the other staff who run this hospital. You are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the great work and stay safe. I remember when I had surgery, I was treated so good that I wrote thank you notes to everyone involved in my care. They also called to check on me several times, and I've never been called from other hospitals. I know your jobs aren't easy and probably very stressful. I want you to know that I sincerely appreciate all of you. Thank you! TaKori

I arrived in San Antonio from the socialist, overtaxed, bureaucratically corrupt, democrat cesspool state of Maryland on December 16, 2022. Two days later I found myself in the Methodist ER in Boerne, TX with a serious case of A-fib with RVR, (rapid ventricular response). EMTs arrived and transported me to the ER in Boerne, TX, and shortly thereafter I was transported to and admitted to Methodist on 7700 Floyd Curl dr. in San Antonio. In a nutshell, I have NEVER in all my 56 years seen such impressive, efficient, kind, caring professional healthcare services! The staff of Methodist hospital is impeccable! I was absolutely overwhelmed! I had been struggling with A-fib in Maryland since JUNE of 2022! FINALLY in November of 2022, I was tentatively scheduled for an ablation procedure in late February of 2023. Then I decided to relocate to Texas on December 16 and between December 19 and December 28, Methodist cardiac services and staff accomplished in NINE DAYS what Maryland healthcare services didn't even get close to handling for me in 7 MONTHS! Several times ERs in Maryland stabilized me, gave me a prescription, and sent me on my way to follow up with some doctor weeks or even months later! At Methodist, within a matter of days, I had an echocardiogram, CT scan, MRI, chemical stress test, cardio-version, medication changes, and finally the procedure I had needed all along . . . the ablation. Maryland needed 3 months to plan that . . . Methodist did it within a week! I hope A LOT of people read this review because it's more than just a testament to the professionalism and efficiency of Methodist Hospital, it's a testament to a state that is run in a manner that all states within the USA SHOULD be run! Maryland, (pop. 6,000,000), manages $71 billion in annual revenue with a huge percentage of that coming from personal income taxes. Texas, (pop. 30,000,000) manages $275 billion in annual revenue without going after personal income taxes. Notice also that Texas has 5 times the population Maryland does but slightly less than 4 times the revenue! . . . . and again, without utilizing personal income tax! And I can tell you from experience as a resident of the state of Maryland most of my life . . .the quality of healthcare and education in Maryland has become ABYSMAL! It's WAY beyond time for millions of Americans in states like Maryland to wake up, do the math, and demand to know . . . where is all their money going? If you live in a democrat dominated state, taxed into oblivion, can't get decent healthcare and, your kids are graduating high school unable to do long division . . . maybe it's time to make your voice heard and DEMAND fiscal responsibility for the thousands of $$$$ your handing over to your corrupt democrat handlers every year! "We The People" Thank you, Fred Brauer

We are happy with the Methodist Neuro Surgery ICU in general, but more specifically, we've been knocked out by RN Monica Lebanc Neuro Surgery ICU Nurse!!! We came in with my elderly mom who had a stroke and needed tests and observation and Monica is the nurse taking care of her. Monica Leblanc RN is very sweet, thoughtful, gentle, consistent, respectful, conscientious of privacy, knowledgeable, has excellent bedside manner, is very positive toward patients and families, very well spoken, empathetic, and easy to understand on both professional and laymen levels. We would be happy to have her as our family's nursing professional any day! She's made an initial horrible situation so much easier to handle. My mom is thriving under her care, as I write this, and has gained back abilities by leaps and bounds since 12 hours ago when we got here!

I was very compelled to write this review. Currently, my boyfriend is in the hospital for a medical procedure regarding his heart. Although it is a routine procedure for Methodist surgeons, surgery in general makes me nervous. I am an LVT, I understand a lot of the behind-the-scenes when it comes to nursing, but in my case, it's related to animals. I am so impressed with the staff, doctors, nurses, and assistants with how much compassion and comedy they provided during the time I was there, I specifically needed the comedy part. They made me feel more comfortable with the situation and answered all my questions wholeheartedly. I am so thankful for everyone involved in my boyfriends case, and it means a lot to me and the rest of his family knowing he's in such great care. Thank you, thank you, Thankyou. Shout out to Rosie, Courtney, Dr Garrison(maybe not spelled right) Ella, Jason, and others involved I hope you know you're appreciated. Thank you. And God bless you.

I went in for a surgery on the 13th of April and my goodness everyone on staff was absolutely amazing! They made you laugh, made you feel comfortable, kept checking in, etc.. seriously an amazing experience at a hospital
