Karen Woods's Online Review Report Card

I have been going to Dr Woods for awhile and I think she is one of the best Doctors in Houston. I stopped seeing her for a number of years because I mistakenly thought she quit taking Medicare. I was so glad to go to her again after having some negative experiences. She is so professional and answers all my questions. I really appreciate being one of her patients. I know I’m in good care!

Not sure about some of these reviews as I had only positive interactions with Dr. Woods.

She was extremely rude. She acted like I was a waste of her time when I was referred there by my GP. My GP had wanted her to review testing that had been done on my gallbladder. She hadn't read my chart ahead of time and treated me horribly because of it. I have endometriosis and she basically just said that I would just have to live with horrible gastro issues because I had endometriosis before looking at why I was actually there. Never would recommend her to anyone. She seems burned out.

My husband and I are very happy with Dr. Woods. When our previous doctor retired, he referred us to her and she has been top notch. She is very professional and calm which may make some people think she isn't interested, but we are very particular and we would recommend her to our son.

I took my elderly mother to see her because of another specialist recommendation. I don’t know if she is a capable and smart doctor because we could not get past how arrogant and rude she was. She complained about my mother’s insurance and how she needed to stop accepting it and scheduled a procedure that we cancelled after we left. There are better and more caring doctors out there...keep looking!

I should have listened the the reviews on google. This doctor is not one to problem solving with her patients and has very poor bed side manner.

Dr Woods has a well run clinic . I was referred to her by Dr Harvey and Dr Reardon . I’m glad they did . She is very thorough and engaging . I would recommend her to anyone to get excellent GI care .

I've been a patient of hers for years. A great doctor who explains everything about treatment procedures and medication

It’s so disgusting & disappointing when a doctor clearly doesn’t care at all about you as a patient much less a human!!! These doctors in this group have gotten to big for their own good! You started medicine I’m sure because you wanted to make a difference! You gave me no time! You were clearly having a bad day and that directly rubbed off on me! As a patient I deserve your respect! I hire you to be my doctor I pay you a ton of money to do the best job you can & you could have cared less! Shame on you! Maybe you should retire if you are sick of practicing medicine!

this doctor deserves 6 stars. She is through, knowledgeable, great bedside manner. I live in las vegas and have experienced as reflux problem. I will not see a gastro here. I have plans to fly to Houston to be treated by her.

Not sure if Dr. Wood is able to diagnose any GI diseases as the final DX is like a fictitious movie. I’m expecting a more professional experience since she is a Baylor grad. Her time to spend w/ me is less then 15 min as a new patient, during which time I had the impression that my visit with her is a waste of her precious time. Currently I’m seeking care under a new GI doc outside of Methodist and he is an opposite of Dr Wood . Dr. Wood may need to reconsider bedside manners and continue to improve in this area of expertise, as well as actually listening to her patient’s complaints and symptoms.In good conscience I CANNOT recommend her to any other patient.

Just the worst experience with any doctor ever and Im 52. I was terribly sick and she could not have cared less, even though I had been her patient for 6 years. She lied to my face to cover her own self serving butt over medication she prescribed me. She never discussed my tests with me. Nothing. No help at all. An arrogant doctor and terrible human being.

This doctor was more rude to me than any other doctor. She did not care about my concerns, and lied to me, and told her staff to lie to me. She tried to prove she was in control. I will never see her again. She threatened me at the hospital.

Excellent team

Ive seen Dr. Woods for several years. During this time she has diagnosed and treated several serious gastrointestinal ailments and performed endoscopy and colonoscopy. She is intelligent, caring and takes time to answer all my questions.I trust Dr. Woods with my care. I highly recommend her to friends and family.

Dr. Woods gained my complete trust during her treatment of my wife and myself. I have to switch because my insurance doesnt include her, which makes me sad. I have experience with her both from the throat down.. and bottoms up. Great doctor

Dr.Woods is an awsome lady always have time for you .You are the best

She knows how the bowels work and refers solidly but she is unprofessional, rude, physically aggressive, duplicated medically uncessary procedures and exams to show the patient who is boss and utilizes UNNECESSARY medicions to make this patient even more compliant during procedures. She had a very apologetic staff. She is one of the worst doctors Ive ever had but she did manage to refer me to an excellent doctor for additional help so it wasnt a total loss.

I have been suffering with stomach issues for years. No one ever thought to run a few of the tests that Dr Woods honed in on after reviewing all my records and just spending time talking to me. Wish all my doctors were as detailed as she was in working with my issues.

The staff was horrible and rude. I had to call to get my colonoscopy appointment, they didnt explain anything, I never got a follow up after my colonoscopy (did a biopsy). Im currently looking for another Doctor. If you dont want frustration, go to another Doctor.
