St. Joseph Medical Center - Houston (TX)

1 /5 mamitas life: If I could give this hospital a zero i would. This hospital is horrible. My mother was transferred there from another hospital because they had no beds. She was brought in to the 1st hospital by an ambulance. Her blood sugar was 328 and her stomach and legs and ankles and feet were super swollen and she couldnt walk and couldnt hold food down. At the 1st hospital they said she has decompensated cirrhosis with ascit and her blood levels were low and they gave her 2 blood transfusions . When she gets to this hospital they treat her for stomach pain and that is it and give her 1 blood transfusion but they cant find where the blood is going because her blood count never goes up . This hospital never treated her for her liver never addressed that issue. The attending was Abid Faroog he is not a good doctor and the hospital is dirty and nasty . Never take anyone you care about to this hospital. The pictures online must be old because it doesnt look anything like that.

5 /5 Jennie Riley: The nurse staff was very friendly. Hospital was so clean. They got you in and out . I would recommend this Hospital to all my friends and family. They really take care of you, the put patients needs first. Thank you nurses, dr. And staff for your great hospitality.

1 /5 Celeste Torres: My father was admitted into the hospital for heart surgery, Monday, Feb 3rd, 2025. The surgeon who performed his surgery failed to tell any of his children of a heart attack occurring while in surgery. The surgery details were unclear and all children (his siblings as well) were left to wonder what condition he was in, if the surgery was successful, or if he was going to need further medical treatment. My father was placed in ICU after surgery in which all family members waiting to see the performing doctor come in and speak over the treatment and care plan. The floor doctor came in and shared very little news with the family, leaving more questions than answers. On Friday, Feb 14th, my father took his first small walk with PT, where he became without breath and needing to sit with oxygen. By 3pm Friday, my father was released from the hospital all together. They prescribed him medication and was told the pharmacist would go over how to take the medications. My father went back to the hospital Sunday, Feb 9th due to chest pain he had been experiencing over the weekend. The admitted him back into ICU, said their was inflammation around his heart, further stating they were negligent in releasing him so quickly. Tuesday, 11th of Feb, the hospital released my father again even with his chest still in pain. The gave him another medication and sent him home. Mind you my father’s heart had a clogged artery at 99%. This information provided after surgery. The doctors assured us with the stent placement the clot would heal on its own. This facility needs serious inspection and the doctors need to be investigated for negligence.

5 /5 Rachel DiBenedetto: The nursing staff in recovery were remarkable. Especially Laura who went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed when my check out was delayed. Everything went well and it was a great day, minus my oxygen level sinking and delaying our departure. Despite that Laura made my day a great one even with just having surgery.

4 /5 Terry Oldies: I want to give a shoutout to the staff at SJH for the wonderful care they gave me prior to and after my recent back surgery. Prior to surgery, Athena in pre admission was wonderfully kind and helpful (and efficient!) at getting my work up done and answering all my questions and calls, always with a smile. Following surgery my nurses were very helpful and kind, treating me as their own family member. We had a VERY loud patient on our floor, and my nurse moved me to another room, never once acting as if it was the slightest bother! High five to my 5th floor nurses, Bernadette, Nelly and Erica! You made a world of difference in my stay there! (The only reason for the 4 was the broken hospital bed I was moved to—still better than the screaming patient, and the yicky food. And I actually usually like hospital food!!)
