  11. A nurse just told me she doesn’t know what’s going on because she just follows orders. I asked her for an update on my father and couldn’t tell me anything except what medication he was on.

  12. This is a wonderful, state of the art facility. The staff makes you feel welcomed right away and takes great pride in the work. I will always come here. Thank you.

  13. Haingen Medical what a hospital nurses and the emergency doctor made me feel very confortable when my son was admited.Doctor Lopes very profecional.very dedicated and willing to answer every question without making us feel we were just a number in this hopital…5 stars for nurses and doctor lopes

  14. No good whent in feeling dizzy weak and bad leg pain with a lump waited for 4 hours to be called just so that they wouldnt chek me and to tell me if i wanted them to chek me i would have to pay them $300.00 and said it was not a emergency

  15. Took my mother there and was very displeased with the service ….asked for a pillow and apparently they don’t carry pillows in the ER…..asked for a chair and couldn’t get one of those either cuz that wud leave a room without a chair …

  16. What I love most about HMC is that the nurses, doctors & staff are compassionate.
    They take genuine care of your needs without making you feel like just another number.

  17. Wonderful staff! We are lucky to have a facility like HMC in the valley. I received top notch care… I was made to feel like a priority by professionals who are knowledgable and passionate about healthcare. Thank you for your work and brining progress and innovation to the Rio Grande Valley.

  18. I had never been there. I came in for SOB with minimal exertion inability to swallow food I am just able to drink hemoglobin was 8.3, My BUN was low which means Im dehydrated and of course anemic got no IV fluids no antibiotics and was …

  19. Worst hospital ever !! My mom is being treated so bad !!! Rns don’t care for their patients only come for the money honestly this young generation is the worst treating the elderly so bad!!!! The nurses that care don’t exist anymore!!!

  20. First time here, tested positive for Corona got treatment wonderful by all staff. I would recommend this place. But be patient as there a little slow but other than that they were great. 😁 …

  21. Hands down the worst experience I’ve had at a hospital, not only did they not prescribe me anything for what I went in for the first time but when I came back because it got worse they said I should “try taking a shower” as if I’m a …

  22. The family of JOE H. Wish to thank you all for the excellent care he had while he was in there for his open heart surgery.
    We recommend this hospital & doctors to anybody we talk to. …

  23. My experience at this hospital was like a nightmare and it was only by necessity I wound up there for tripple bypass surgery. I am lucky to be alive after their post-op care. I doubt any nurse or staff member has any credentials whatsoever. Don’t go to this place or take your loved ones there!

  24. If you’re admitted as an emergency they will put you in the covid area until you get 2 tests done. 1 rapid test (which is pointless) and another that can take up to 5 days to get the result before the move you from that area. Ridiculous system.

  25. Always a pleasure to be a patient at HMC as wierd as it sounds. The staff and doctors are fantastic. One is treated like a queen or king. The rooms are clean and spacious and the food is not tv frozen dinners. I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Mary Ann Alfaro

  26. If I could I would put 0 stars. I went to get tested for covid they had me waiting 8 hours to get my results and they didn’t even prescribe me anything. They do not care about their patients I could of died waiting. Do not go to this hospital!!

  27. Horrible place. They gave my parent the wrong medication, didnt care to read the medical records, kept patient in covid area longer than they should have been (5 days), didnt offer an alternative solution to take to another hospital (gave excuses) and NEVER gave us the opportunity to sleep over with dying parent. I hate this place.

  28. Unfortunately Harlingen has no good Hospitals. This facility leaves you waiting for hours. And if they dont have the Specialty Dr you need you get sent home 🤦‍♀️ …

  29. Arrived at ER and the staff was quick the doctors saw my bf right away, gave him aspirin for the pain, drew blood, & did an EKG. Everyone knew what they were doing. Great workers I also heard some one say “work smarter not harder” great critiquing

  30. My mom loves this Hsspiyal and I feel the same way. I do have to say that emergency room protocol is very bad. Today I had to bring my mom to the emergency room here for possible stroke are heart attack and I actually walked into no one …

  31. Horrible place. They do not even acknowledge you. I had to ask a security officer for gauze when my son had a deep flesh wound profusely bleeding. I will never go here again. I had to leave after 40 minutes of waiting with no acknowledge …

  32. We love the place, I had my son admitted, right away he was taken care of, staff , very friendly nice people we were treated like family in a good way. Doctors and assistants are all super human beings, our best to all. God bless you all. MD, Carlos A. Barba

  33. This review is for the ER. I went in to the ER on Saturday the 6 th of October. I had a fever of over 103 for 5 days. They called me back right away. I was asked usual questions but unfortunately my answers really weren’t being paid …

  34. They saved my daughter’s life. Thank you ER doctor and staff and thanks to the wonderful nurses at the Women’s Center and especially Dr. Oscar Hernandez whose compassion and care are truly appreciated. God bless all of you.

  35. worst visit to the er in my life… the nurse practitioner had a cara de perro!!! didnt get her name but she looked preg and i went at 3:00pm on 9/25 she looked like she was annoyed and didn’t care about my pain!! she is the worst told me …

  36. I took my son in at midnight to the E.R. on 5/1 for what I thought was a mosquito bite or rash, everyone was super kind and very helpful and the service was fast! I was surprised, since this is my first time being here! I’m super happy the staff was kind and pleasant to my son, mother and, I. I would definitely come back.

  37. I had given birth to my son 2016 and man do I regret picking this hospital. The nurse in the front desk that had checked me at the hospital had pushed me by wheel chair to the maternity floor (because my water broke) had walked away and …

  38. This review is for their ER physician. I have worked in the medical field for years and I work in a hospital along with my entire family. I have never seen a worse bed side manner or been treated so poorly by a physician in my entire …

  39. They don’t give you any information of your family members when they ask you they leave you on hold for so long. They always transfer you to another floor when they don’t want to talk to you or they pick up the phone and then they hangup …

  40. I wish I could give this place negative stars. My mother went in for dialysis. She ended up losing her life due to incompetent nurses, doctors who could care less, and horrible treatment. Medically induced complications and incompetence …

  41. I had my baby at Harlingen Medical and I will say for being a first time experience the staff was very accommodating. Everyone was so friendly and their goal was to make me and my husband feel as comfortable as possible. I will be using them again in the future.

  42. I recently had spinal surgery. The computer system was down the three days I was there. They missed bringing me meals. Of the three days I got 2 meals. The day I had surgery they ran out of pain medication that night. They did not give me …

  43. Hands Down Best Hospital, from friendliness to cleaniness … Been here several times from back in 2009 to now the service is amazing . From when you check in from an emergency right away your attended. I can explain how satisfied i feel . …

  44. Some of the staff were quite indifferent towards my wife during her visit to the ER. Don’t care to listen to people complain about not having Saturday off when my wife is in distress. Gabby in respiratory was a delight and the nurse assigned to my wife did a great job.

  45. I would have liked to be treated with more respect and patience rather than the nurses and doctor just rushing me out of the emergency room instead of listening to my concerns and my pain that I was admitted for in the first place. While in …

  46. My wife had surgery and the nurse anesthetist was awful. Advice: always ask for an anesthesiologist- an M.D. with much better training and years of experience. It took my wife 3 days to re over from the anesthesia. One of the nurses told me …

  47. We were really impressed with the doctors, nurses, therapists, and staff at HMC during our mom’s emergency situation which lead to a complicated surgery. Everyone we encountered truly cared about our mom’s well-being and made themselves …

  48. The entire Aldape family wants to thank everyone there for caring for our mom these past few days. My mom mentioned three in particular Victoria, Mary and Rudy (house director). We are grateful for making her feel comfortable and at ease …

  49. Communication has to improve drastically from health care professionals to patients and their families. My mom has been at this hospital for 3 days. Trying to get updates on her prognosis has been like pulling teeth. She had x-rays done …

  50. I went for depression and Benzo withdrawls. The did nothing to help. They just watched, made jokes and an employee chanted flower power. I will never, seek help again. I should’ve know better but what’s 1 insignificant life. Never again

  51. My son was born here in May of 2015. It’s been some time, but it was the absolute best experience I have ever had. I have had a second child since at a hospital in Dallas, and it was the worst in comparison. They took care of me and my son. …

  52. I would not go anywhere else if i had a choice. Excellenrlt customer service, all of the medical staff from the doctors, nurses, aids, even the MRI guy are all very nice and accommodating. They make sure you are comfortable at all times. The care provided is thorough.

  53. The main guy nurse name Martin Cisneros is a very rude mean older man he told me just by him looking at me he knows I’m not sick..10mins later there my test came out positive for covid 19 he basically laughed at my face with a younger male …

  54. i was hesitant about delivering here due to the ratings but i went ahead and scheduled my cesarean here and i was not disappointed. the nurses were so nice and sweet. mine & my boyfriend’s favorite RN was Johanna. she was so amazing! there …

  55. 💕💕Most dedicated and caring staff and nurses I’ve ever met. I had to get cysts removed and while I was waiting I experienced absolutely none of those snarky attitudes and “taking to fellow teammates behind your back like you can’t hear” …

  56. Security Guard thinks he owns the place. Can not remember his last name something like Gerell. Priscilla spent all shift watching movies on her phone. Long waits. 6 and a half hour wait just to leave waiting area and go to the back. Dirty …

  57. My Mom is 85 yrs old with cancer. She is blind, has 95% hearing loss and is mentally impaired. Told the Nurse my Mom’s pamper hadn’t been changed since yesterday, they haven’t given her anything to eat. She got all offended and asked me …

  58. First time mom, I went into the ER and they took 2 swabs for covid. The quick test came back positive so I was not able to have my fiancé there for the birth and I was not able to hold/bring home my baby. The day I gave birth, I requested …

  59. The worst hospital ever! They do not care for their patients and do not care to have more than 1 doctor available. My husband went with a swollen face, not being able to talk from his ear infection. They under play EVERYTHING . Can’t rely …

  60. Although I am giving this establishment a 2 star rating I chose this facility over VBMC. But it was choosing the lesser of two evils. I had my mother stay at HMC last year and the care was much better before. This time I had a hard time …

  61. WOW.. after 16 surgeries in lifetime.. after multiple acute care visits… after working for greater than 40 years in health care …
    WOW…. from opening words to end… even in most painful times and embarrassing …

  62. Terrible experience in the ER. They left my 2yr old with a 103 fever until they could complete a billion tests. Genuinely felt they just wanted to charge my insurance for everything since we wouldn’t pay out of pocket. Felt unnecessary, …

  63. I was treated like a hotel guest . first class treatment all the way by Doctors, Nurses and all hospital staff Eduardo , Rachel, Laura ,Deborah , CNA Mitchell and Celia all wonderful employees. Highest recommendation .. Thank You for your services

  64. I took my mom very sick thinking this was one of the best hospitals. My complaint is not about the hospital itself its about a specific nurse who was not treating my mother who is in a coma with respect. It was brought to her attention …

  65. I brought my 65 yr old wife to this ER with an obviously dislocated shoulder at 11:00 pm. With a practicallly empty waiting room she still had to wait an hour just to be allowed in the evaluation room. After 3 long painful hours (1:00 am) …

  66. I got diagnosed with Hyperthyroid recently. My family took me to this hospital since I was going thru a Hyperthyroidism storm. Sitters were so kind to me. They accepted my Ambetter healthcare which is a really affordable healthcare. I …

  67. Thanks to the team of nurses and helpers at the hospital . I had knee replacement on Jan 11 and stayed until Jan 12. All the team was very helpful and they run upon request to fulfill my necessities. They made my stay at the hospital nice and easy.

  68. Mammograms are nothing to look forward to, but I just had my first one at HMC and Yvette was great. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and easy attitude to make it a comfortable experience. She walked me through every step and …

  69. The worst service in this place . I hear the nurse tell this woman that basically she gets to choose who goes in first . No matter of the circumstances. And rudely may I add . Not professional at all . People don’t waste your time in this hospital . 4 hours before we got seen . Ridiculous dam even valley Baptist ain’t this bad

  70. Absolutely ridiculous and disgusting security guard named Anthony in the emergency room did not allow my sister to go in the waiting room for an extended period of crucial time to go see her father going through major surgery, where he …

  71. Absolutely terrible ER department. I have a history of Kidney failure and Acute Kidney Injury and they would not take me seriously. The triage 1 nurse was extremely rude she did not weigh me, collect my height and just asked “whats wrong …

  72. Horrible experience with this hospital. My grandfather was in the ER for almost 22 hours and we didn’t get results, and he was never transferred to Valley Baptist. …

  73. This is far most disgusting hospital I have ever ever been seen at staff if super rude not only that but they choose who goes in first they don’t go by order also the doctors supposedly doctors don’t even take the time to see what’s wrong …

  74. Seems like a good doctor. His office staff in Harlingen are completely inept. I was to be referred to a specialist and it never happened. Had to fight with them for over 3 weeks to get it done.

  75. I came in to the ER with a knee and leg injury and dirt all over the scrapes, and all they did was put a brace over the dirt, and gave me some Tylenol. Came in pain left in pain they didn’t do anything to try and make me comfortable.. I felt like I was in a hospital in a 3rd world country.

  76. Was just in emergency room literally 2 people only: who had been there over 30 mins, waiting, knocked on windows and waited for service over 20 long time for an emergency room. staff should be available 24/7 even if it’s to make the patients feel acknowledged.

  77. I went to ER with severe Earache pain in both ears. Being a single Mom it’s hard getting treatment due to not having child care. The security guard Named Melissa went above and beyond to make sure my little girl and I got home safe since it …

  78. It was k but the lady that is in where they check your blood pressure and everything she check my sugar sh said it was fine but I have a monitor that I check my self it was 566 and then the next day I checked it again it was 600 and I check …

  79. Doctor & RN’s were absolutely awesome and went above and beyond to pin point what was wrong with my daughter. Thank you for all you do to provide the best service possible for your patients.

  80. I have had several tests and pre- op services at HMC. From the front desk to admissions to tests and pre- op services the staff is so professional and courteous. Everyone explained the procedures so one knows what to expect. The staff is …

  81. I was very impressed with the coordination from the onset of my appointment to the walk out at the end. Very professional, clean, friendly and caring attitudes of all the staff. Bravo HMC Team! Rafael Gonzales.

  82. My father had 2 strokes and he’s been waiting for 21 hours just to be transferred to a hospital 1 mile away. He’s disoriented, dehydrated, and hallucinating. Apparently it’s ok for you to just let your patients continue to decline.

  83. Excellent staff, especially 3 floor day and night shifts. They are very knowledgeable and they genuinely care about their patients. Thank you for the exceptional care!

  84. Great, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thank you Jesús Lopez who performed my ultrasound, great sense of humor. 😊 The young lady in the mammogram department, for your care and concern of my well being, thank you. ❤️ …

  85. I would like thank all the staff for the wonderful care I received during my short stay for emergency surgery; especially Natalie in the ER, Ann B in recovery and Maritza charge nurse on the 3rd floor.

  86. All the nurses were excellent at their jobs. They informed my wife of everything she needed to know about labor and they helped us so much with our New Born Baby.

  87. When I first got induced I got to meet all the night shift workers. They were all kind & attentive. Especially Melissa. When day shift came. It was the total opposite. I got a rude nurse name Cindy/Sydney. Did not take care of me at all. …

  88. Waited 3 hours which I understand but the doctor that treating my son was horrible. He didn’t even ask me questions or check him he was in there less then two minutes . I understand that he didn’t think it was a …

  89. I brought my Dad in because it looked like he was having a stroke or seizures and when they took him to the back waiting area, they took labs and had procedures done. I understand that some things came back normal, but they needed to assess …

  90. The staff, nurses and doctors that tended to my needs went above and beyond. They were complete strangers but I left there having new friends. My sincerest gratitude to the nurses on the 2nd floor who are exceptional professionals and …

  91. Worse experience ever. The nurse practitioner was very rude & heartless. If you don’t have the patience to treat your patients…take a vacation or a nap, maybe even quit your job, especially if you lash out and disrespect your own patients. Don’t Recommend at all, except a couple of the nurses, being empathetic.

  92. I’ve never had a negative experience with this hospital. They have always been kind and sympathetic to mine and my childrens needs. They are never rude in anyway and seem to genuinely want to help their community. I always leave feeling heard and cared for.

  93. Seriously, over the past two days with my mom in 2nd floor room of this hospital, we’ve experienced perhaps the most kind, intelligent, hardworking and empathetic staff of anywhere in the United States. I’m honored to be able to share this review as the staff deserve 5 stars. Thank you.

  94. I delivered my 2nd baby here, my experience was exceptional.. The nurses and staff are very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The rooms are awesome & confortable even the food is great. You will not regrets using this Hospital for your medical needs.

  95. Monday afternoon, January 10th, I fainted while walking my dog. This wasn’t the first time I’d had a similar experience. I called 911 and took an ambulance to Harlingen Medical Center ER. …

  96. I want to give a 5 stars rating to Harlingen Medical Center ER Department. unfortunately, we had an incident with my mother that required emergency care on Sunday morning. From the time we arrived to the time we she got discharge I was …

  97. It only gets a star because it won’t post without one. I wouldn’t even give this experience a star.
    It was a terrible experience. I was never examined. Talked to me with 3 other …

  98. Great thanks to Marta nurse on second floor that was so patient with my demented mother and explained everything she did. All staff in general have created a culture there of friendliness. They took time to introduce, explain procedures and would say hello in the hallways. ER super busy and never lost their hospitality.

  99. I brought my husband in on 1/11/23 for possible kidney stones. From the time we checked out until now we have had nothing but positive interactions with everyone. From ER front desk staff to ER doctors, nurses, X-ray techs and …

  100. I would like to thank Myrna for her genuine support of my mother. She showed great concern and patience. Her sense of humor would brighten up our day. She was very helpful in getting answers for us and helping us understand what was being …

  101. My 4 stars go to the ER doctors and night nurses, they made my stay at this hospital comfortable and safe. The ER doctor HOLDER AND doctor SILHY were outstanding thank you very much for taking care of me in a very timely manner especially …
