Dr. Omar Tamimi, MD

I recently was here for a procedure that consisted of 2 surgeries, 2 weeks apart. The first surgery I stayed overnight. The second surgery was an outpatient procedure. Both surgeries went smoothly and I had excellent care. Everyone we interacted with, was great! I had to check in at 5:30AM and parked at the opposite end of the complex. We walked in and stood there looking lost. At that moment a woman walked in and saw us and asked us did we need directions. We told her and she said she worked in the mailroom and told us to follow her and she would take us there. She was so friendly and helpful, and that describes everyone there. Check in was fast and they got me right in and ready for surgery. From the pre-op nurse to the post-op nurse to the nurse on the floor where I stayed, they were all amazing! I had a room on the 17th floor and it was the nicest hospital room I've ever been in. I don't have single complaint about the whole experience.

This review is written from the visitor point of view; I was not a patient. Pros: This hospital has elegant decor, nice attending staff to help you navigate through the massive space, a well tended gift shop with lots of items, a full cafeteria with almost anything you might want to eat, a gorgeous doll house display, and even a pretty courtyard along side of a interior gathering area complete with a piano player. The entrance is on the monorail system with a stop right near the doors. All these things are nice, but wait, there’s more. Cons: The location is very far from my home area of the Memorial District. The med center is right by Rice University, which is both a very uppity area but also a very transient area. Valet parking is almost always full leading you to wind your way through the 10 level also completely full parking garage. We parked on level 10, but due to where the elevator is located, we had to walk to level 9. The stairs we passed smelled of urine. When we exited the elevator, the smell of trash was overwhelming. When we crossed the small street to get to the entrance, the smokers outside were less than concerned about us inhaling their smoke. Once inside, the massive space is hard to navigate. I’ve heard multiple people rave about Methodist Hospitals and their level of care. Many people I know, prefer them over Memorial Hermann. My dad was in for back surgery. His room was originally the ICU wing, so it was quite large. His nurse was very nice and personable. I liked the presentation of the hospital, but I can’t imagine going down there and having to fight traffic, plus dealing with the parking, if it was personally my choice. I didn’t feel it was fair to give three stars since most of what I am reviewing is not based on a patient’s point of view. The extra star given was due to my dad’s satisfaction with his experience.

In Texas Medical center and has great medical facilities. Big campus with a few hotels inside the campus too and some restaurants.

I always feel personalized care each time I go to the Methodist Hospital for doctor's visits, or procedures and tests. The doctors, nurses and all staff are attentive to your needs, friendly, polite and respectful. Excellent care always!

I recently underwent robot-assisted, minimally invasive thoracic surgery for a hiatal hernia at Houston Methodist Hospital in the Medical Center, under the care of Dr. Min Kim, MD. My experience was truly exemplary from beginning to end. Dr. Kim and his team displayed remarkable expertise, providing a thorough and comprehensive understanding of my condition while ensuring that I felt confident and well-informed throughout the process. The level of professionalism and care extended by the hospital staff was exceptional, transforming what could have been a challenging and intimidating experience into one that was seamless and reassuring. Every individual I encountered, from the welcoming check-in staff to the nurses monitoring my vital signs, the transportation team, the anesthesiologists, the surgical staff, and the post-operative care team, exhibited the highest standards of excellence and compassion. Their meticulous attention to detail and genuine concern for my well-being made an indelible impression. The hospital environment itself was so meticulously maintained and accommodating that, at times, I forgot I was in a medical facility, it felt more like a first-class hotel experience. I extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Kim and the entire team at Houston Methodist Hospital for their unparalleled dedication, professionalism, and kindness. Their efforts ensured a smooth and successful recovery, for which I will always be profoundly grateful.
