Luis Eguia's Online Review Report Card

I was a recent Pacemaker patient of Dr. Eguia's. On the day of my Pacemaker implant surgery at DHR, he was approximately 5 hours late for my surgery resulting in me being confined to a pre-op bed for about 6 hours (1 hour for pre-op procedures performed by staff and about 5 hours laying helpless waiting for Dr. Eguia with needles & tubes already inserted in my arms). He never apologized for being hours late. While still at DHR I chose to decline the administration of a drug Dr. Aguia had prescribed that was described in hospital literature as very dangerous. Weeks later a different heart specialist confirmed that dangerous drug wasn't necessary in my case, just as I had suspected. I got the impression Dr. Aguia was a "one drug fits all" doctor with very little regard for the possibility that serious adverse drug reactions to patients like myself could result. However, the actual Pacemaker implant surgery was successful.

Dr Eguia has the most toxic attitude towards people. That’s what money does , it corrupts. Forget about people being medical doctors and actually caring about patients. He is the type that tries to humiliate nurses in front of others at the hospitals and looks at you like he hates you. This guy needs to retire and do the community a favor and leave us alone. This isn’t new, this has been going on for years , but I just found this review option! And plan on using it!

Insensitive to patients disability

The Dr put me on medication that caused me to get bad chest pains. I went to the heart hospital twice and they told me just to stop taking the meds, when I went back to see the Dr he said if I refused to take the medication he would refuse to see me, his assistant was also giving me attitude.

He is a great doctor that seems to be genuinely concerned about my health. He did heart surgery on me, took his time. More thorough than previous Houston surgery that failed. I am back in the gym now.

He saved my life and I adore him. I had way too many PVC's (50+) when we first met. Last week I had 3 very minimal ones in 6 months! He's implanted 4 defibrillators in me and each one was better for me than the one before. I think the world of him because he's also a dog lover!

Excellent doctor who treats you like a person, not a number on the computer. Takes time to discuss every aspect of your medical care and listens to what the patient has to say and wants.

Dr. Eguia and his staff are so professional and I always had full confidence in Dr Eguia's knowledge, abilities in surgery and his sincere concern. Unfortunately, I have moved too far from the area. I will miss the security I felt under his care.

This Doctor has no regard for his patients waiting, waiting, waiting to have him show up in the procedure room. It is a behavior that the Medical Centers need to address with him - his disregard for his patients time, comfort, and the punishment he deals out with his tardy appearance. I and others have been required to get to the Hospital at 0615 for prep and in my case, he finally appeared in the procedure room for my heart procedure at 11:15, I had been strapped down for 45 minutes.

My apt was yesterday, 02/12/2016 @ 2:00 pm. I was and am still feeling very lightheaded, dizzy, shortness of breath, etc., my husband had to take time off work to drive me to dr's appointment as unable to drive. Due to my feeling so ill was late to my appointment by 24 minutes. I got to the office I checked in and was called by front personnel to advise Dr. Eguia's nurse (Mona) had told them to tell me the dr would not see me as I was late and had to reschedule apt. Very unethical practice.
