| Methodist is consistantly rated among
the top hospitals in the US, is a teaching
hospital & has doctors/residents in attendance around the clock. Their Weight Mgmt & WLS Program is top-notch. They also keep all WLS patients
in one wing after surgery so you can get
specialized care & equipment as needed.
They put WLS patients in special beds
when you first check in pre-op in order
to make you more comfortable. Also, the
doors, chairs, bathroom spcace, etc, in this wing are larger than normal for the
comfort of WLS patients. |

Methodist is among the top 3 general non-profit teaching hospitals in the Texas Medical Center here in Houston. I find they usually strive for better service than the smaller hospitals around town. Methodist has patients from all over the world, so why not take advantage of the best right here in my own back yard.
Their new Weight Mgmt & WLS Progam
is superb, with support groups & follow up care. As a side note, they also offer
room service meals at the hospital; you call to order your meals whenever you like, just like in a hotel. Of course, in my case that was only a liquid diet this visit!
Patient rooms are furnished with dark wood bedroom furniture like you would have in your own home. This makes for a more pleasant homey feeling for you and your guests. |
| Comments: |
I had my 3 children at Methodist over
40 yrs ago & in that time it has grown from one bldg to several high-rise specialty buildings. They have always
been a non-profit teaching hospital affiliated with a top-notch medical school & train doctors from around the world. I
found out that they have a very intense
program of hand-washing/glove-use for
all employees in patient care. It is a constant priority with signs all over & employees even wearing tags to remind
each other at all times. Overall the hospital was kept very clean, bathroom,
floors, etc, cleaned twice daily.
Everyone there seemed very polite, cheerful & empathetic of your needs.
I would recommend Methodist Hospital
to anyone contemplating WLS or any other medical needs. |

It is one of the major hospitals in the Houston Medical Center. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the Houston Medical Center hospitals. |
