  3. The Miracle Hospital! The are so knowledgeable and nice. The docs are from best med schools in the USA, Baylor College of Medicine and Univ. Of Texas in the Medical Center, I’d trust them with my life.

  4. This is completely ridiculous. Calling a hospital and you get an automatic machine giving you options you don’t even need. Trying to see if a friend of mine who was okay after being Life lighted and NOT ONCE did anyone answer the phone. I …

  5. It’s faster than LBJ but took 6 student nurses to change suprapubic catheter, what a shame. Then they filled up the balloon with air instead of saline water smh” the prescription they have me didn’t work because a doctor didn’t deem it necessary.

  6. Was a patient on 4B the night shift nurse (maya) is horrible, my overnight guest asked for a recliner and recieved a upright chair, she then asked for a pillow it took two hours to get one pillow! If you don’t have a gun shot, stab wound, …

  7. This hospital is horrible, I waited over 12 hours in the emergency room for nothing. My mother was never checked by a doctor. I would go every hour and ask how much longer is it going to take for any doctor to check up on her and I got no answers, the people at the hospital just kept telling me just wait to be called.

  8. My aunt went here for chest pains, she waited so long, she informed staff her chest pains were bad. a few hours later she bent forward, and fell on her face and died instantly. in the emergency room. Massive Heart Attack

  9. In all fairness this is a charity hospital that is highly overburdened and under budgeted. That said, pray you never have to go to Ben Taub Hospital. People actually die in the waiting room of this place waiting to be seen by a doctor …

  10. The wait time is INSANE. Check in, registration, getting your vitals, and sending you to several stations to be asked the same thing HAPPENS ALMOST AT THE SPEED OF LIGHTNING. But the wait time is unreal. 10, 11, 14 hours. Just waiting… You’ll be dead coming here. This is my 2nd and last time coming here.

  11. Those security people seem to like to harass me if I end up in there at night thinking due to I am homeless that is why I am sighing into the er. They also had me arrested the first time I went in there to get help in ER only due to the fact that is where all the homeless people go.

  12. They help my son with his MHMRA emergency problems when no one else did. I am so grateful for them they said we know exactly what needs. And they did. They hit the nail on the head with what his problems was. Thank you Ben Taub NPC …

  16. I’m very proud to be a preceptor affiliated with Ben Taub Hospital. This is one of the best center to learn, but face all type of medical needs. Finished doctoral program there on 07/2017.Appreciate my preceptors and hardwork staffs for such dedicated and amazing work!

  17. I just want to say, Ben Taub Hospital was one of the absolute worst experiences of my life. In regards, to gaining Medical Care for someone in need, desperately in need. One severed leg and possibly one broken foot, sent home on Advil & go …

  18. Yesterday, A cruel incompetent nurse in the ER jabbed a Covid tester so high up into my child’s nose that something popped and she removed matter and blood. it is still bleeding and she has started to puke blood. The right side of her face and head has hurt ever since. She was screaming the whole time.

  19. If you have to go-to the ER, DON’T, you won’t be seen for at least 10-12 hours. I’ve been in the waiting room for about 9 1/2 hours. The evening crew is very rude. They seem like they’re only here for a paycheck and that’s not right. I’ve asked numerous questions and seems like no one here gives straight answers

  20. They have helped my hubby twice. My kids when no one else would busy there but in the rehab center neurological area the will help sablelized and get u help to feel better if u want it .you’ll have to wait par for the course bring something to read snack on but worth it for help

  21. Never go to this place even if your life depended on it. I was taken to this place do to an underlying health condition and I was made to wait in the waiting room although my condition is very serious. Please rename this Hospital because the people of Harris County’s health doesn’t really matter to them.

  22. Be aware of Dr. Jasmine Kalsi.
    Please don’t go ever to Dr Jasmine Kalsi. She doesn’t know about anything about C-Section Surgery . We had worst experience with her. Hospital services is …

  24. I spent a whole week at the Neuro unit, they are the best, the doctors, nurses and surgeons did a very good job , taking care of me and making me feel better , God bless everybody that works in that hospital, especially the 5D unit….

  25. Staff they have answering for Harris Health at Ben Taub to set appointments are RUDE AF!!!!! The other clinics however never had a bad experience! Best advice is at your appt make it then, and try to keep it to avoid using their call line!

  26. The worst place ever!!!!! If you are able to afford $100 a month of insurrance and avoid this hospital plz do it. If u wanna wait 15 hours in emergency while u r in a pain then go to this hospital. The stuff are the rudest ever . I swear …

  27. The wait time in the ER is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! I really would like to know WHY it takes so long. I dropped my son off at 8:30 am this morning. It’s 6:37 pm and he still hasn’t seen the doctor. Someone needs to look into this.

  28. November 20, 2017 our family life change forever. My mother had a massive stoke. My sister told me she took my mother to BenTaub hospital thinking she just had high blood pressure. The Nurses stated that she had a stoke. Mind you my …

  29. I wish I could give it a ZERO. The doctors were careless and uncaring each time he went. My father, received horrible care. My father is an elderly man in his 80’s. He had an infection in his foot, due to diabetes. They did nothing to help …

  33. I am giving one star because there is no way to pick zero.
    While Harris County Clinics have improved 100% in patient/staff relationship and they Excell in politness; BenTaub Hospital has gotten worse. …

  34. Worst emergency room ever. I waited 4 whole hours to be seen. It wasn’t even a busy night. Some nurses don’t know what’s going and are too miserable to speak up and give you clear and simple information.

  35. My wife preferred Johnson. A friend received excellent emergency service and critical care at Ben Taub. If it’s possible get to another hospital with more friends or relatives to help during recuperation or rehab afterwards. Neglect during recovery is an unfortunate thing.

  36. My mom came in for neruosurgery a month ago and this the second time back because the incision is draining and won’t close. The doctor took the stitches out to soon. And they said if anything happens then go to the ER

  37. Horrible Hospital! All staff is rude! Even the cleaning people! The wait is way toooo long , they told me and member that the wait was 17 hours to see a doctor! No nurse seems to care if someone is in really bad pain, bleeding out , & etc.

  39. I do not know what happened to Ben Taub Hospital, but this is the worst experience I have ever seen. They get your blood, xrays and other test very quickly, but they make you wait 11 hours plus to get the results. NO excuse.

  41. I’ve been here a week and a half, transferred from LBJ after a cardioac arrest. I’ve been in 5 different rooms and they have lost my work boots, my coconut oil cream, a book the chaplain gave me, and a whole stack of papers from the social worker. Enough is enough.

  54. It’s so ridiculous how slow the Emergency Room is. Expect to wait anywhere from 6-12 hours. It would be nice if the staff at least explained why the wait is so long instead of having the patients sitting there anxiously wondering what the hell is taking so long.

  55. I had a herniated disk on my lower back, waited 16 hours to get attended all they did was an xray and medication for pain and that’s it.

  74. They help! So many people sick and hurt people in the ER outnumbering all the Doctors in the hospital. It’s no wonder ER is so long. But they helped me and did the best they could. They are good professionals it’s just a shame those plugging up the ER GREATLY outnumbered the medical professionals.

  127. The best Nurses and Doctors who treat you with kindness and respect. I had to have a surgery and the time I was there I had the best nurses who I mean the most friendliness and caring. Mrs Touney was very nice and helped me in anything I needed. I recommend Ben Taub Hospital for you are treated with great care here.

  128. I believe giving even one star is too much. The doctors have kept my someone for over a week without anything being done, no surgery, no check ups, nothing. The person was supposed to have a cat scan but no one booked her in for it, so she …

  129. I walked into the ER on Thanksgiving Day 2016. The place was empty so I had it all to myself. They took me right up to triage at Labor & Delivery to check me out. I had never been there before nor did they have any of my records. I said I …

  132. is a government hospital and for obvious reasons is always very busy, I prefer to come to this hospital because staff gynecology and obstetrics are very friendly and polite, the hospital Texas Children pavilion women were very rude and …

  133. Was with a friend at the ER and luckily I arrived 7 hours after my friend and then waited for 5 more hours before seeing a doctor. Talking with others in the waiting area and found people had been there more than 14 hours waiting. But 30 …

  134. Worst experience in a hospital my wife had to go to critical condition. When I would call they would answer and just hang up. When they would answer I would ask how she’s doing they would say I can’t get no information through the phone and …

  138. Average wait time for scheduled appointment is usually no more than 30 minutes, many visits I’ve been seen within minutes of checking in. The doctors you’ll be seen by can vary appointment to appointment but I’ve been impressed with the time they’ve taken to review my records prior to coming in to see me.

  139. This is the best hospital in my opinion they generally care for their patients and treat you like family and are never too busy to meet all your concerns the nurses are wonderful ❤️ them so much and the surgeons are the best and they meet …

  147. Worse emergency place I have ever seen I took my brother and it take 12 hours to just treat him and no one give update about him or what’s going on.when call said there is no room available. I don’t want to go this place ever again. Staff is not working properly.

  148. I want to feel this is a good hospital because of the eye care I have received
    MY BP drop low 😩Jerry in the er didn’t help any by making jokes I know COVID-19 is real but telling me you need to see my thoughts wasn’t funny. There should be …

  149. The night shift staff is very unprofessional.
    Information regarding patients spread through the entire hospital. Staff will disrespect you and harrass you. …

  150. Just an FYI. The emergency room is not an emergency room. Youd think theyd help you out quicker but ive been sitting here for 4 hrs with severe stomach pain and these people act without a care in the world. This is crazy. Never coming back here again.

  153. I was very nervous / afraid to go to BenTub hospital for their reviews, thanks to my friend she explained to me how well her husband was treated, I decided to go. …

  154. Now this Hospital is using COVID-19 has an excuse to not let family member or friends visit their loved ones makes me question the type of medical service thier giving all patients. The staff were rude at answering questions to me. I’m very upset at policies that they have now. This is to be a great hospital but now to my eyes it is not.

  155. In 2014, I went to this hospital for emergency care and waited more than 6 hours to be seen in the ER. The huge main waiting area was over-filled with people. No available seat, standing room only. Many people were actually sitting on the …

  157. Most of the doctors/nursed are rude and and honestly don’t care about your needs. I had at least three different doctors and doctor young was the only one that seemed like he should be there and actually cares. This was my first time coming here and I’ll nevvverrr come back

  158. My OB sent me here to see about an EVC bc my baby is breech. After waiting over 15 hours to see Dr I was stressed out, and due to other factors like placenta location, we collectively decided that the risks would be slightly higher than the …

  179. Where do I start? I would give this place a 0 or half star if I could. The reasons: (1) Allison Schaefer the Social Worker has no heart or compassion for the patients. (2) The rude lady in pharmacy services (gave no name) is so rude and …

  180. Security guards are rude. No place to sit but on floor. Worst hospital I’ve ever been to. Plus I was charging my phone cause my 96 yr old mom was home alone. I have cameras set up so I can check on her. We’ll the rude guard made everyone go outside, cause he wasn’t happy with people standing. I couldn’t charge my phon.

  181. Worst Hospital in Houston. I was taken here by ambulance, not by choice despite having insurance for all the other idiots commenting. If you have insurance or money avoid at all cost because all the doctors are all students, they are packed …

  187. don’t schedule follow up appointments with this hospital if you don’t have insurance, i’m waiting on the gold card.. they sent me away even tho i have a broken eye socket & broken bones in my hand.

  188. Nurses are super Rude and Racist.. And ignoring patients is what they are great at.. please go somewhere else.. I gave it one star because it wasn’t letting me give it negative or Zero

  189. Everyone is really nice but the one complaint I have is the bathrooms are disguising they smell like pee , gas station restrooms are way cleaner. I had mentioned it to a staff member and he/she agreed saying it’s sad because they cut hours for the people that clean

  190. Horrible hospital, horrible staff, and horrible care. Mother went in and took her 12 hours in the emergency room to be seen by a doctor, the only reason she was seen was because she had to pressure one nurse stating she hasn’t received not one pill to alleviate her pain in 12 hours. Otherwise she would’ve been waiting longer

  191. Terrible. Please don’t come here. There’s like 50 people waiting in one big waiting room with a bunch of homeless, crazy people and weirdos. The service is so bad. How is this even a real hospital?

  192. This place must be shut down!!! I can’t believe tax payers dollars are paying for this!!! There must be a change!!! Please don’t respond apologizing saying call you directly because you don’t care about what people have to say! It’s all to …

  194. The eye doctors and their nurses are really nice. The security lady at the registration/welcome was a little bossy and rude. As a visitor, I only wanted to wait in the cafeteria with my nephews. She told me I couldn’t bring them. We haven’t eaten since this morning. I’ll go somewhere else.

  195. I’ve been coming here on and off for years. Only been to the ER here 5 times. If that’s why you’re coming be prepared to wait a long time. Longer than you think you should wait. No matter what stage of care you’re in you’re gonna wait. …

  196. I have stage 4 cancer in severe pain no eating, drinking, or sleep for 3 days. n I been waiting in this er waiting room for 5 hours n 45 mn. This is nit acceptable for emergencies. I don’t recommend this hospital for er.. u will probably …

  197. I will start with positive remarks, very challenging for the staff to handle hundreds of patients, they work 12 hours a day which is not easy. It is affordable to go there if you have patience to wait at least 25 – 30 hours depending on …

  202. Worse place to work. Abusive management. They block employees from transferring to other units. Everyone is not given the same opportunity. Human Resources shows no concerns to staff complaints instead they use intimidation tactics. Look elsewhere for employment.

  203. I should of read the reviews before I came here. This place is unbelievably terrible.I waited FOURRRRR hours in one waiting room just to go to another TWO HOURS in a smaller room and wait. I still haven’t even been registered in yet. When I …

  204. If you want to lose your life quickly come to this place.all they care about is to take your blood.if your pregnant and losing your child they don’t care to even save his or her.all want to give you is two Tylenol. Seven bottle blood for only two test.
