Memorial Hermann Cancer Center - Katy

This is quite possibly the worst emergency room. The doctor was nice, but the rest of the experience was horrible. Do not go there. You are better of walking into a fire station to get patched up by EMT's who will be far more capable and enthusiastic than the staff of nurses here.

Beware Scam Pricing If You Don't Have Insurance



As a young person who has been denied opportunities to purchase health insurance, I was forced due to a serious illness to come to this hospital. At the end of my over the weekend stay, I was confronted by a friendly payment controller who explained that while my ailment would have normally be billed at $25,000 they graciously offered me a price of only $6,000 because I lacked insurance. Thinking I made a good deal, I happily paid.



Unfortunately, it's misleading to present the $25,000 figure, because on average an insurance company will only ever remembers the hospital at a rate of 30-35 cents on the dollar, perhaps getting $8,750 out of the insurance company. Later the hospital "revised" their estimate and sent me a bill for $9,000 instead. Really, the hospital is doing nothing to "help" patients who don't have insurance, however they'll make you feel like they are saintly creatures for offering such a "discount" like they are doing some great act of charity for which the hospital will suffer. Nothing could be further from the truth.



This organization will get paid, but I'll never have anything else to do with them again.

The 5th floor is terribleeeeee! Get on the 6th floor if you can. There were a couple good nurses but the rest of them were rude and seemed incompitent. I couldn't get my medicine dosed on time. The overall feeling i got was that i was another number and i was released and told i would be fine. It seemed as though the docotrs kept passing me off to the one another not taking responsibility for me as there patient. It is now 8 days out of the hospital and i am still not feeling well.

If you do go there you need an advocate and get ready for it! Especially if you are on the 5th floor.
