Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital

My daughter and I had exceptional care at this ER and hospital!
The nurses. Techs and of course Doctors were outstanding!
We were from out of town and so glad we were cared for here in Baytown!

The first thing you will notice when approaching this hospital is how new it seems. I do not live in the area so I do not know when it was built but it looks recent. The emergency room is on the right where you will notice a heli pad for emergency landings and to the farther left facing the structure is where the patients will be.
The interior isn’t huge but nicely kept as far as nothing is obstructing your passage through the hallways.
I only came here to visit a friend who was in for a while and what I can say is looking like a lost duck in the desert there were plenty of staff and security to guide me to where I need to go.
Parking like most hospitals can be crowdy but patience will reep you a rewarding place.

If you want to see a loved one in this hospital you better forget about parking. Call it in. This hospital’s handicap parking js a joke. There are people giving up and parking in the round abouts. Valet closes at 3:00 pm. If they have parked your car and leave enjoy the search. Put on your Indiana jones hat and start wondering the parking lot for your car.
And now broken scanner. Yeah!!!

If I could give zero stars, I would. I waited in the ER for five hours just to be seen and then when I was finally seen, the staff was HORRIBLY rude and acted like I was an inconvenience. I won’t be using this hospital again unless I have no choice.

Staff were polite.
For the most part, building was clean for the most part. Ladies restroom near the lobby had some issues. Sinks were backed up and water on the floor.
We had easy check in. The procedure took longer than usual, but sometimes to be expected with outpatient procedures.

My sister went there for an urgent matter, and since it’s the only hospital in the city. We had no choice. There is nothing okay about a «for profit» hospital. They publicly humiliated her, in front of many other patients) for not having health insurance (she just started a new job and her benefits don’t kick in for 2 more months) then, as she was sobbing (in pain and humiliation) demanded all the money she had and that she sign a letter saying she refused care. We had no choice but to go to a completely different city (and their initial suspicious were incorrect). I am currently pregnant and feel so passionately about how awful this hospital has treated myself and my loved ones in the past, that I am opting to have my baby at home, rather than go there. I would never go there again. Nor will anyone I know.

This is a excellent hospital but beware the deathly amount of hours waiting in the ER to get in. If it’s urgent, call an ambulance. My recent care here was top notch. I was in the hospital for 3 days due to a severe double infection. The medical staff was very friendly and took very good care of me. They managed my pain well and I have no complaints on the care I received. My only complaint was waiting for 6 hours to be seen with a high fever, severe pain and chills & nausea after knowing I had just had a hysterectomy the week prior. But with that being said, my care was great after getting in. I would definitely return to this hospital but by ambulance in emergency. Hopefully, I never have to even think of a hospital again!

Well again went to them and sat in emergency room again for over 4 hours running a fever, sick to stomach and severe pain in stomach area and once again was not seen or even acted like I was there. I left again and went down the road to the emergency clinic and was seen in less then 15 minutes. Guess what had severe gallbladder attack going on and it was infected had to have emergency surgery the same day. Guess I would have sat all day in Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital just to be ignored and IF SEEN would have been told once again that nothing was wrong with me without tests of any kind by the staff and I use that term lightly. This place should be closed down as it is a joke.
If you want great care go to the emergency clinic in Baytown right down the road from this place you will be seen in under a hour and will get great care. You will be a lot better off here and they do more than just ask you a couple of questions like your name, age and then tell you that they find nothing wrong and send you out the door with no care as does Methodist hospital.

My wife has been in and out of several hospitals over a period of 15 years. The care she has received at San Jacinto Methodist in Baytown Texas has been second to none. In addition the facilities were very clean and updated. Those who say that this is their only choice in Baytown don’t realize how well this hospital compares to the hospitals in the medical center.

It’s the only hospital in town, so one really doesn’t have much of a local choice.
While I’ve heard horror stories about this place, they have treated my grandmother (who was in and out for over 3 year) and myself really well.
Currently seeing a new doctor here, and he is great!

This review is based on multiple bad experiences. I wouldn’t take my worst enemy to this hospital. I don’t know how they stay open and I’m sure they are sued often. I guess tort reform allows them to deny liability and milk the system. It’s a disgrace. It represents everything that’s wrong with our health care system and it’s why I’m totally against health care for profit. They make millions and give minimum care!
My husband went to the ER with chest pains and they made him wait over 8 hours and told him they didn’t know when they would see him! Employees are extremely rude. He could get better care than that at Ben Taub and that’s a damn shame. We left and went to the medical center downtown and he was seen ASAP and didn’t even have to wait 5 minutes.
My father has been there several times with internal bleeding and has gotten no diagnosis! They gave him blood then told him the BS story that the entire city of Houston is out of platelets! The ICU is a joke. They could get a diagnosis in one day rather than milking the insurance for a week then releasing a patient they know will be back within 48 hours.
I can’t believe how low the standard of care is in this place. Someone please do something about this problem!
