The Best 14 MEDICAL SERVICES near Galveston, TX

Bonnie Weaver I very rarely leave online reviews but our experience at Hospitality Health ER was so outstanding that I felt compelled to share. Everybody that my husband and I came into contact with, from the helpful front office staff, to the compassionate nurses, to the thorough doctors (Dr. Downs in our case), was absolutely amazing and I emphatically recommend this location. The facility itself is welcoming, clean, and state-of-the-art. My husband left there feeling well-cared for and informed and, while we hope ER visits arent frequent, this will be our go-to place on the island for lifes little emergencies.

David Barr My daughter was having shortness of breath while we were on vacation in Galveston. I took her to HHER immediately and from start to finish the ENTIRE staff was so professional and attentive to her needs! She was treated with dignity and kindness the entire time! Truly grateful for the care she received! Hope we never have to come back, but if we did, this is the place!

Cheyenne Beck My son was seen the orthopedic doctor here he didn’t give me and my husband time told me nothing was wrong with my son and that he wasn’t limbing. Fast forward 2 months he’s in a different hospital for being sick and they fine that he has 7 fractures in his back some old some newer and a bone disease/ disorder. This doctor definitely did not do his job properly. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy to this place

John Daniel An amazing hospital. My little brother was burned in the early 90s and we would take him here every few months. They gave him his dignity and smile back,and my late mother her peace of mind. God bless them! If your child has burns, this is the place to take them!

afgrab55 I have been a patient of Dr. Terry Siller for a little over 5 years. I first learned of him from a friend at work and he came highly recommended. So he was the one I chose to care for pain I was having in my right knee and he was the Doctor who eventually performed knee replacement surgery on the same. I have always been impressed with his knowledge of his profession and Quality of Care. There were other doctors here at one time, but are no longer with this clinic. Its been over five years since my knee replacement and I have experienced a normal life with it since the replacement surgery pain free! I have heard of other peoples bad experiences with other Doctors, Not Dr. Siller. He had also addressed shoulder pain for me with an injection of cortisone that took care of the pain, and I have had no pain since!! Almost three years ago we moved about two hours away from the area NE of Beaumont, Tx. A couple of months ago I twisted my left knee so severely I heard and felt a pop that hurt like someone stuck a knife in my knee joint and turned it. I made an appointment to come to the Orthopedic Clinic for Dr. Siller to look at. They X-rayed the knee before he came to the exam room to go over the X-ray. It didnt show anything broke or out of place. He did drain a good amount of fluid buildup off and gave ave me a cortisone injection. He said if it didnt feel better after a few days to let him know. By the next weekend I could hardly walk on it without the assistance of using my Cane from the prior right knee surgery. I called back and he scheduled me for an MRI and a return office visit to go over the MRI. When I returned for the MRI follow up he revealed that the MRI showed that the medial meniscus was torn away from the bone, arthritis, and a stress fracture of the femur Bone in the medial area!! We both agreed that I was more than likely looking at another knee replacement on the left leg. I wanted to give it some time to see if anything improved giving the fracture time to heal. It had been over two months and it really hasnt improved. So I came in today to talk about the knee, the continued pain, and to go ahead and schedule having the surgery per my wifes wishes and mine to get rid of this continuous pain in my knee. My wife suggested that I try to find a Doctor closer to home in the Beaumont area. Not a chance!!! Im coming back to a Doctor that I personally know will get it right!!! If you need an Orthopedic Doctor that knows his practice and is very outgoing toward his patients, is thorough, and very competent, Dr. Terry Siller is going to be your choice.

Diane Senter Been there several times in the past 7 to 8 years. Saw Drs. Low and Moulton with same complaints -- pain in groin and hip flexor area making it difficult to walk. X-rays taken showed some arthritis. Treatment offered was physical therapy, drugs and/or go get steroid shots. NEVER was getting MRI mentioned. I finally saw another dr last year and got an MRI. Torn cartilage in hip and bad arthritis. Just got new hip from a dr who actually listened to me. MRI should have been done years ago .

Shahram Tabibzadegan This is part of UTMB medical center hospital.

Jean Messer Five Stars are not nearly enough to rate this hospital. The doctors and care are fantastic. The nursing staff on 11B are phenomenal. They are respectful, patient, kind and I cant express enough just wonderful the are. The nurses Will, Shannon,Becky, Kevin, Youssa, and techs Chris, Rose and others made this expirence so much easier on my husband during his stay. Ive always felt nurses arent appreciated enough or paid enough but these here at Jennie Sealy absolutely deserve recognition and raises!

N Platt not as nice or well managed as their sister hospitals in clear lake or league city. this is the center for UTMB and the staff and drs are good and friendly but a step below their satelite hospitals scheduling is a bit off (as is often the case with other hospitals

Ruben Rodriguez probably one of the worst in the business.. administration wise..seem to have no communication skills. we traveled to Houston for an appt to only be told it was not registered. no return calls.. appointing you to doctors that arent even there any more..Its just one issue after another..and no one seems to care..at all!

Valentina Baez Some Rose lady hung up on me and gave me plenty of attitude while I was trying to schedule my appointment.Very unprofessional. Then last time I came in the nurse didn’t even share my results from two different test. One of them was COVID and she just walked me out. Then when I wanted to leave a complaint because I found that very unprofessional as well the manager on duty said she couldn’t do anything about it. What place doesn’t tell you the results and when you complain about it says they can’t mention it to the nurse to be a better nurse ??

Elizabeth Lindsey-Randall Back at UTMB❤️ The quality of care is amazing here, worth the hour drive! My appointment was at 8:45 and I am out already doing labs ❤️

Niko Gambill Wait time is god awful like why set an appointment time and not even be on time with the appointment if you have nothing to do and have a boring life this is the place for you because youll be here for centuries waiting for your turn to be checked out and trust me dont even worry about being ontime for your appointment youll be checked in 3 hours later so when they say be here by 9am they ment be here at 3 pm because thats how long youll be waiting.

Helen U The doctors are careless and follow the generic script, so every single time I bring kids here - all they recommend is taking Tylenol regardless of the illness or condition. Flu? Covid? Injuries? Diarrhea? Vomiting? You will be prescribed Tylenol and sent home. Besides, the doctors whom I had pleasure speaking with are unaware of basic developmental needs in kids, like one of the doctors was insisting that my 8 months old isn’t supposed to drink water yet, so I had to refer her to Google to prove it’s allowed and necessary. Not sure what were they studying in college so many years. Probably Tylenol

Bekah Daniel I visited this urgent care 1 week ago due to being sick for over a month and a horrible cough. After explaining all my symptoms, they suggested I try cough drops and dark chocolate. After advocating for myself, they finally gave me a generic cough medicine. I left there and continued to feel worse and worse as the days passed. I went to a different urgent care, and after a listening to lungs for only a couple seconds they noticed something was wrong. I was sent for scans and it confirmed there suspicion of pneumonia. I was transferred to an ER and cared for immediately. All this is to say, they did not listen to me or care to dig in and find out what was wrong. I left without a diagnosis and just advice to “try cough drops”. I was severely upset with my care at this urgent care and their lack of client connection.

Merari Ramirez I was sent here by my OB and the drs here failed to diagnose me with preeclampsia after I had so many symptoms (excessive swelling, protein in urine, elevated blood pressure, etc) they told me I just had high blood pressure and sent me home. 14 days later I woke up at 3am with the worst headache, wouldn’t go away with any pain meds, and a couple hours later I started losing my vision. My husband rushed home to help me and I started vomiting and losing conscious. I was rushed to the ER by ambulance and had an emergency c-section at HCA Houston Healthcare. I lost my memory for a couple days and it took a while for my blood pressure to go back to normal but HCA did a wonderful job of taking care of baby and me. They were all surprised that the drs at John Sealy didnt diagnose me with preeclampsia after all my symptoms.

Melissa S. My son was here because of pneumonia for three days. Everyone working on the 10th floor was absolutely incredible! The care and kindness shown to us exceeded my expectations. Nurses are super heroes. What a great place for students to learn. Thank you!!!

Terry Dean Worst VA ever. Rude. They answer phones sometimes. Instead of making appointments, they say they will leave a note with the PA. But they never call back....ever. they all need to be fired and replaced with a staff that can actually do their job.

james Doyle I have been going there for a lot of years. I will admit that the nurses and staff are fantastic. I dont think I have ever seen a doctor there, its always been a PA. When you get use to one the next time you go back there gone. I have nothing against PAS most of them I have seen are far better than the doctors. But when you get one that seems to care about you, they vanish. Be nice to get a full time one.

Joleen Shadows Its very frustrating when you have chronic pain and an official diagnosis yet nobody wants to help you with treatment ideas/options. I have pleaded so many times about wanting to trying different medications to see if anything might be effective but I get ignored. Some advice. Just because I dont have cancer or Im not a heart patient doesnt mean my case isnt just as important. Also I had to see three different ENT doctors until finally one of them took the initiative and now I have an appointment set up with an oral surgeon. Do you want people to suffer? Something tells me if you were in my body you would have a different opinion. Thanks a lot UTMB!

Jan S I share the sentiments of an earlier reviewer. I have been treated for my pain for 13 years then I moved and it’s been ridiculous trying to get the same prescription I’ve had forever. I just saw Dr Jetty who was a jerk and looked at me and treated me as a drug seeker. Pain is the black sheep of medicine and the sufferers are treated with little to no respect. UTMB you should be ashamed of tying your providers hands by not allowing them to treat pain. That’s what Dr Jetty said as the reason he wouldn’t help. He was fine in the beginning of the appointment then he came back from meeting with the faculty doctor he reports to and was agitated and, quite frankly, disrespectful. Being short with me and with an attitude. And the more u try to explain your point and advocate for yourself the more they think you’re an addict. I’m addicted to the relief I get. I’m not an addict. I walked out demoralized.

Daniela Martinez If I could give no stars to this incompetent ER I would. For anyone thinking of taking your loved ones here to be seen, DON’T. My mom went in there last night to be seen because she had an unbearable pain in her side from a a health issue she has been dealing with and they basically told her to kick rocks. Her current physician told her to go to any ER for help if the pain got worse and the doctor who saw her just told her that if she already had meds for the pain why did she bother coming to them for. That if she’s already been diagnosed then what was she wasting their time and hers for? I am honestly disgusted and disappointed with this kind of treatment from a place that’s supposed to help people or at least guide them in the right direction to get the proper help.

Jayzia Cee I’m currently pregnant, told the ER to send me to L&D but they insisted they had to wait til they got blood from me which I don’t understand. the Emergency Room Tech Betty was very rude, I told her not to use my right arm my left arm have better veins and she completely ignored me, she even started my IV wrong, a RN had to take it out & redo it on my left side. I also was giving a gown to dress into, I asked for a blanket & never was giving one & they left my door wide open. UPDATE : gave them another try & they blew it for good, went in for heart palpitations & other issues, they changed my vital signs as if i didn’t see them on the monitor.

Sally Castaneda This is for the families that have love ones in the prison at the Galveston Hospital: This is my story about the experience I had with this hospital and the prison regarding my beloved father. My dad had been transferred to this Hospital from prison because he had a stroke 2 yrs ago, I was contacted by them at that time and was asked to come and sign paperwork for a DNR.. I had several video visitations with him since his stroke and the prison hospital has me down as a emergency contact.. well I hadn’t been i touch with him since the end of September of 2024, so I decided to call and set up a video visitation with him on December 5 2024 which at that time I was told that they couldn’t find him, well then after being past around to several different people and calling several different #’s I was told to call back the following day on December 6 2024, so I did I called back again on December the 6,2024 which was a Friday, again I got the run around that he could be located, finally I was told I would need to call back on Monday December 9, 2024 and speak with the Chaplin, so I call back that Monday and I spoke to the Chaplain she stated that he is being transferred to a different unit and I would need to wait to set up the video visitation until they had transferred him, she told me he was okay and that she has me down as a emergency contact if anything happens to him. Well yesterday January 8,2025 I called to set up a video visitation with my dad and I was told that he has passed on October 21,2024 @ 5:19 am. They said he had already buried in the Huntsville Prison Cemetery since they didn’t have anyone down as a Emergency Contact.. This is a damn shame that a inmate has been in prison for his crime for many years he has a stroke and they call u to see if u want a DNR and you go and sign his DNR so that when he passes you can finally bring him home where his family is and when he passes they don’t even bother to call you and notify you of his passing, instead they decide to still keep him there in the Prison Cemetery. So it is like u are in prison for life and even after death they still want to keep your remains.. when I confronted them they then start to say “Oh no you didn’t talk to me” and still want to get a attitude about it, when all u have to do is to admit that you made a mistake and give your condolences and then try to see what can be done if anything to try and make things right. Now they are telling me in order to try and get my dads remains I would need to try and get a court order to exhume his remains which will cost around $12,000. Where am I supposed to to get $12,000 to correct their mistake.. I think they should at least say “We made a mistake we can see what we can do to try and exhume his remains and do the cremation so you can come pick up his remains and take him home with no cost to you” as part of them trying to make this right…

陶洋 I am a Chinese. On October 1, 2024, I went to the emergency room for a simple arthritis knee effusion infection. It was just inflammation, and it could be cured with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving treatment. The doctor in this hospital insisted that I undergo surgery, and lied to me with all kinds of exaggerations. He did not give me any food for three days, and did not give me a drop of anti-inflammatory medicine. As a result, my condition worsened in this hospital, and I was not given timely treatment at the first time. Later, under my strong opposition, I chose to transfer to another hospital for treatment. The service attitude of the medical staff in this hospital is very bad, and the doctors and nurses in the hospital have serious racial discrimination. Dont trust this hospital.
