The Best 12 MEDICAL SERVICES near Waco, TX (Part 3)

Barbara Dill My doctor was attentive and took time to discuss results and possible treatment. The staff is nice and courteous.

Jason D I would encourage anyone referred to this business to get a second opinion, specifically if you are in Thomas Harriss care. He talked my father into chemotherapy by telling him, "he could have more, better days!" Giving him 6 to 9 months without chemo. Harris never really gave the worst-case scenario for the disease, only pie-in-the-sky cases. His example to my father "Ive had a lady on chemo for ten years." Chemotherapy took away any reasonable comfortable time and days my father had left, the decline was drastic, rapid, and shocking, and Harris still pushed chemotherapy when his blood work recovered enough. So many red flags that I ignored, trying to honor my fathers wishes. Dont make the same mistake with your loved one. I could write pages on how bad this experience was; if you care about your loved one, do not mindlessly follow their protocol without a second opinion; also, Harris does not do well with educated family members with questions and valid ideas and observations. Patients and families deserve the truth and should not be used to make a dime. My father lived approximately two months after starting care at Texas Oncology with Thomas Harris and 90% of his days after walking through the doors of this business were terrible. I had to give this business at least one star to leave a review. Two positives here are very kind nurses. Mary is great, and Natalie in the billing office was accommodating and kind.

Moneica Wilkie I would give a 4.9 if I could. Simply because during my Colonoscopy I woke up and could feel pain. I couldnt move or talk. Apparently, the anesthesiologist noticed, and I went back to "sleep"! Other than that? I have had nothing but 100% satisfaction with all staff members. I even told Husband Dr Waddle is my favorite Dr. She speaks to me in laymans words. And most importantly, she listens! She is absolutely adorable. I wish I could see her for all my medical needs! (Waco Texas!)

Mysti Dawn I would give 0 star if it was available. Worst clinic I ever been to! I never go back the lady at the front desk was rude and the ultrasound tech was worse I’ve had so many ultrasounds and was never asked what she asked me!

Susan Trumblay I came here because Scott & White Drs. did not take me seriously. I have been losing use of my left leg; whole leg is painful, and little circulation (cold). Now, my right leg is starting the same thing. I am now tripping a lot, and I have fallen 3 times in 2 days! The last 3 Dr. visits they just had someone talk to me. I do not need a friend, I need an intelligent DOCTOR who will listen and take action! This Dr. (Rasalski) had already gotten my records for the last 10 years! He actually set a plan of action to help me!! This leg issue has been going on for a year and up until now no one really did much! You have to take control of your own healthcare. Get 2nd or 3rd opinions, or more, if you need to. I did, and am so glad. The employees here are #1 - try it!

Izzy Perez Sorry excuse for a clinic. I called back to make sure I was choosing the correct coverage. The front office her name starts with a V, got back to me and told me not to get a certain one. I even gave her the options to tell me which one. I am now 2 days from an appointment and they call to tell me I am not covered. I followed all rules to do it the correct way and they just call me to stress me out.

Laura E. Napolitano These are great people, from the office staff to our primary, Dr. Najera.

Rosalinda Rodriguez office staff and nurses are inattentive to detail, poor listeners, and unprofessional. It is hit or miss with the doctors in the office. Proceed with caution. 2025 UPDATE: Dr. Najera used to be the best doctor but has failed in quality the last year or so. Personally, failed to daignosed Type 2 Diabetes over three years. Difficulty to read if they will give you good quality care. Please do not visit if you need a translator. ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH AT THIS PLACE FOR CARE. If you need quality care for your health, please do your research and do no take them at face value.

Selena Lisotta If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I went in on a Wednesdays a uti, they took urine and sent me on my way saying as soon they got the result they would reach out. Well I have the my chart app and I checked it consistently, consider I have a painful infection. I could see when my result came in and could see that no provider looked at my result for days. Its Monday now, and after calling thursday and Friday, and being told they would send a message to the provider, nobody has yet to look at my results therefor I have yet to get any antibiotics. Almost a week later

EHMEYEI Do not recommend at all. Doctors are friendly but staff is not on same page at all. Do not take time to read or overlook your medical charts they are asking yourself what occurred on prior visits, also seen a new doctor each visit. Front desk staff are rude and very unprofessional. When inquire at front desk for a certain visit be scheduled as requested from doctor I had just seen front desk clerk acted clueless and turned around to ask for “assistance” but began to complain about my request and make derogatory remarks in Spanish as if I wouldn’t be able to understand her. WORSE PLACE TO GO! Switched doctors immediately after this incident.

Tom Browning Great service at the lab getting blood work done . Now waiting for doctors appointment

Paul Wellman I always have a good experience here. The staff, nurses & doctors are very helpful. They get you taken care of quickly but take the time to listen to you.

Kim Giles On a Friday night in March 2018, as my husband and I were driving across Waco with 20 camper in tow, he complained of his elbow "going numb" and "feeling winded." With a history of heart disease in his family, I wasted no time in having him pull over in a large parking lot, where I proceeded to unhook our camper and fly him across town in 4 minutes flat to Providences ER. I told the desk clerk he was having chest pain, she immediately handed him a clipboard to get his basic info, he was called back within 90 seconds and after having hooking him up to an EKG machine, the nurse knew what was coming and rushed him into a cardiac crash room within 90 seconds. As I stood in the corner of the crash room watching him answer two of their questions, he went out...as in no response. His heart had stopped. They were on him within seconds when a massive "widowmaker" heart attack hit with CPR, defibrillator shocks (9 total as I later learned) and loads of medicine, equipment and cardiac pros. I left the room to make room for others, and waited 35 agonizing minutes before they told me they were able to get his pulse back. He was rushed to the Cath Lab, where two stents were implanted almost immediately, he was then placed in ICU for 36 hours, and two days later, he walked out of the hospital on his own power--sore, but alive. He was a miracle as he exhibited none of the indicators usually seen with massive heart attacks (i.e., obese, unhealthy, poor eater, other diseases, etc...he had none of that), the ER staff did exactly what I knew they were trained to do when we arrived, and every single person we encountered during our stay was incredible. They truly cared about my husband and I, as tales of his "big adventure" of surviving what is usually not survivable made the rounds among staff. They cheered him on throughout our stay, encouraged him as he recovered, and have contacted us several times since just to check on "the miracle man". THATS excellent service, and I cant say enough about how very grateful I am that Providence Health Centers professionals literally saved my husbands life. He is truly a miracle, hes doing very well today, and we owe that to the superb service we received from the Providence crew!

dede drake My husband went to the hospital for chest pain and was told to fill out paper work before he could be seen by a doctor. He has had a heart attack 6 months ago. Felt the same as before. Blood pressure was 185/106 and pulse was 116, when he left the house. He took his Meds and went to the ER. Thank God it wasnt a heart attack. He waited over an hour in the waiting room before they saw him. By the time he got in and they were hooking him up to monitors his Meds kicked in. But if it had been the real deal he feels he wouldve died. They were more concerned about getting paid than they were him.

Kiya K Can’t not find a phone number to call to get ahold of someone.

Cindy Kokel Im rating the ER department here. Went in 99.9% sure I had appendicitis. Doc never did a physical exam to determine if I had classic rebound pain on my right side, which I did. She kept asking about kidney stones. Told her that pain from appendicitis can also radiate to the back. They sent me to CT after sticking me 7 times. IV site immediately infiltrated after CT contrast. Got back to room in ER they took that IV out. My son and I had both repeatedly told the nurses in the ER that they were going to have to use their ultrasound guided IV placement machine and they continued to disregard what we were telling them. They finally bring in the machine and was able to get an 18G IV access into my left upper arm. Also right after getting back from CT the ER doc just pokes her head in and says, "Its your appendix and the OR staff are on their way now to get you..." SHOCKER I had been telling them that from the moment I got there. Had the ER doc actually performed a physical exam she might have discovered that the patient knows their body. I get they have to rule things out but come on, no physical exam! My CT scan showed that there was an extreme amount of infection surrounding my appendix thats why they were rushing me to the OR. Also I did finally get adequate pain control after they saw the CT scan. 7 IV attempts is very excessive. They tell you to speak up and we did right from the start and were ignored by the nurses assigned to me. I was a nurse for over 27 yrs and if I didnt get the IV in after 2 attempts I got another nurse to try. Also if my patient had told me that they have to use an ultrasound guided IV machine I would have believed them the first time. Its also information that can be found in a patients record on file. Had they looked they would have seen that they have had to use this machine in the past. My left arm looks like I have been beat with a bat not to mention opened up areas for possible infection. Nurses and docs too, please listen when a patient actually speaks up. They and their family are trying to tell you something important.

Kenneth Holt Doesnt deserve even 1 star. I have high heart rate because I have heart problems. They suspect om on meth so they became really rude with me and made me wait for hours and hours and never seen me. The whole time I was gagging on my own swollen tonsils. Something needs to be done about thes sorry ass people

Seth Robins As Administrator of Waco Healthcare and Rehabilitation, I would like to thank Oceans Behavioral Hospital for its exceptional service. Behavioral health is a huge need in the Waco area, and Oceans meets that need well. Many of our residents have utilized there in-patient and out-patient services. They are a great partner and an asset to the Waco area.

Ashley Frei Upon entering Oceans I had no idea what to expect. I got to my room at 1:30am. Immediately I was met with help and encouragement. I never felt lost or alone at any time there. My roommate was kind and understanding. The staff IS THE BEST. I’ve worked in facilities as a hospice nurse so I’ve only stepped in and out. To truly see the day after day outpouring of love and support from the staff was mind blowing. They truly love the patients. They keep coming back even after the treatment to them by some patients is hard. They love and care and it shows. The therapies, therapists, nurses, doctors, techs, cleaning staff, dietary, administration, and so much more works like a fine tuned clock and get the needs of patients met in a beautiful way. Patience is not easy in these settings but knowing I was cared for and heard made all the difference in the world. I would give 10 stars if I could. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Oceans Rehabilitation!

Ellie McBride Sometimes it can be hard to find a same day appointment, but when you do, it’s super great! The nurses are so nice and the doctor explained everything really well. The pharmacy had my stuff ready 10 minutes after the doctor wrote the script. Definitely the place to go if you can get an appointment

Kaitie P My immune system is fairly weak so I’m here at least twice a semester just because I seem to catch literally EVERYTHING. I’ve had the flu twice and strep multiple times. Only giving four stars because the women at the check in desk can be somewhat cold and unwelcoming. I’ve never had them be plainly rude but sometimes I do feel as if I’m being judged for how often I’m there, which I already feel very self-conscious about. However, the doctors have always been very nice. The two I have seen have always seemed genuinely concerned for my well-being. The fact that everything is charged to your student account is also helpful if you’re broke.
