The Best 12 MEDICAL SERVICES near College Station, TX (Part 3)

Mikaela Pyron This was my second baby delivered at this hospital, and their labor and delivery floor is phenomenal. They care so much and just really take care of you. I never fear what’s going to happen next. The nursing staff is so friendly and really make you feel so special and safe welcoming your baby into the world. I hope everyone has a great experience like I did for both of mine.

Boston Shontae (Texassweetheart) I’ve only had great experiences with BSW! From the doctors- cleaning crew everyone was equally impressive! I’ve been considered disabled since 2014! It was very complicated going from an employee to a patient. However, I’m so thankful for my team of doctors at BSW! I was brought from being paralyzed from the waist down-rehabilitation-relearned how to walk again. God knows the strength it took to get here. I have all BSW doctors. I am also still friends with the staff that cared for me.

Mary Payne Ive met with Dr. Singh twice now. At my first appointment she just walked in to the room, felt the joints in my hands and asked if they hurt. I told her no, thats not where Ive had any pain, it was shoulder and knees. She then told me to go get blood work done at their lab and that was the end of the appointment. I had already had blood work done, that was why I was referred to this rheumatologist. The next appointment they sent me back to the room to wait for the doctor. I sat in the room for 55 minutes until the doctor finally arrived. She then proceeded to tell me that the blood work didnt really didnt show anything, and then did an ultrasound on my hand. Including waiting time in the lobby I spent almost 1 hour and 20 minutes just waiting past my scheduled appointment time. The best part is, all of the useless tests she just kept running werent covered by my BCBS insurance and Ive now paid over $400 dollars for her to not help me and never even sit down to speak with me about what to expect when youve been diagnosed with the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 25. The only thing she offered after telling me I didnt seem symptomatic was a prescription. She just kept pushing pills on me and saying there wasnt anything else she could do for me. $400 dollars for her to tell me I was faking it and throw a prescription at me.

Linda Harding Dr. Rajpreet K. Singh is a wonderful doctor! She was able to diagnose my rare disease and helped save my life! I had been feeling ill for a long time and and slowly getting worse. I had seen several other doctors over the years and the only thing I was told is it was an autoamune disease. But not until I met Dr. Singh; She diagnose me! I was very ill the day I met with her my blood pressure was very high. She called the St. Joseph Hospital ER from her office and had them waiting for me as soon as I walked in the doors. I was admitted into the hospital and put on medicine. She saved my life!

20valwojazz We love Dr. Schams and everyone at College Station UPA. Our kids are always cared for, the nurses are attentive and sweet with our girls, and Dr. Schams is always attentive and non-dismissive or judgmental. I truly fear the day he decides to retire even though it will be well deserved.

Von M I will not be returning here. I should have consulted a doctor instead of a nurse practitioner. She arrived 30 minutes late, which is normally understandable, but given that my daughter is non-verbal, level 3 autistic, and struggles to stay calm in unfamiliar environments, this was particularly challenging. This should have been a sign to switch to seeing a doctor for future appointments, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. In a previous visit, when discussing my sons issues, she mentioned that a chest x-ray should have been done at the emergency room the day before. Despite this, she chose not to perform an x-ray for my son, who had a high fever, opting instead to wait several more days. Ultimately, we did get the x-ray, but only after multiple visits and considerable frustration. Additionally, she provided the wrong dosage for my sons medication. It seems she has too many patients to manage effectively, which isnt entirely her fault. However, I can no longer continue with this place.

Melissa Mize I am writing about a bad doctor who wrote a wrong Rx on eyeglasses and refused a follow-up to allow me to prove it to get good lenses. Dont ever use Dr. Posvar. I am a Veteran and must go where the VA sends me. Even when he is wrong, I must use this bad doctor. But what to do if doctor refuses to see me and VA said they already paid him, so I have to go back to him? Yet doctor refuses to see me, and after I made appointment his nurse calls me to cancel. Temple VA said they never ran across a doctor refusing to see a patient. They said to call VA Community Care. But thanks to Dr. Posvar, I am out a great deal of money and bought new eyeglasses I cant see out of. VA Community Care said to have my VA primary write a new referral rerouting me to see a new eye doctor for a new vision test. Or simply stated, put in for a new request for service for my vision test by someone other than Baylor Scott and White Dr. Posvar in College Station. I request Dr. Posvar eye doctor from Baylor Scott and White be removed from referral for the VA in the future. I purchased eyeglasses and lenses from Sams Club. They made eyeglasses correctly to Dr. Posvar Rx. So I might have to pay all over again. Its not Sams Club fault if Dr. Posvar wrote the Rx wrong, so Sams Club is not liable for remaking the lenses again at no charge for a doctor mistake. Especially given the Dr. Posvar refused to check my vision after given the eyeglasses. So, Dr. Posvar screwed me royally, wasting my time and money. Now I must pay to see a second eye doctor for a vision test, and pay all over again $600 for lenses, because Posvar refused to check his work with a follow up exam. Posvar said it was 6 months after he wrote Rx, so hes not liable. It was 5 months due to back surgery. But a follow-up appointment is part of what Posvar got paid for when he accepted my exam and the money. He said my vision was much better which is why he wrote the Rx for twice the weakness of my current eyeglasses (which is why I cant see anything out of them). But now he says my vision is much worse given he did the exam 5 months ago and wrote the Rx then; but refuses to see me to check his work, making this diagnosis without seeing through the phone. Amazing he can make diagnosis over the phone but not in person, w/o rechecking my lenses and vision test. Because of Dr. Posvar refusing to see me, I must pay for a new eye exam and pay for new lenses all over again OUT OF POCKET. Please see to it that Baylor Scott and White Dr. Posvar is taken off the referral list for the VA. Dont ever use this horrible doctor and his nurse.Temple VA said they never ran across a doctor refusing to see a patient. VA Community Care said to have my VA primary write a new referral rerouting me to see a new eye doctor for a new vision test. By someone other than BSW Dr. Posvar in College Station. I purchased eyeglasses and lenses from Sams Club. If they made the eyeglasses correctly to Dr. Posvar Rx, then its not Sams Club fault. So is Sams Club liable for remaking lenses again at no charge for a doctor mistake? Especially given Dr. Posvar refused to check my vision after the lenses were made. So, Dr. Posvar screwed me royally, wasting my time and money. Now I must pay a second eye doctor for a vision test, and pay all over again for new lenses. Because Dr. Posvar refused to check his work with a follow up exam Dr. Posvar said it was 6 months after he wrote Rx, so hes not liable. But a follow-up appointment is part of what he got paid for when he accepted my exam and the money. He said my vision was much better which is why he wrote the Rx for twice the weakness of my current eyeglasses (which is why I cant see anything out of them). But now he says my vision is much worse; but refuses to see me to check his work, making this diagnosis over the phone. Amazing to diagnosis over the phone but not in person. Because of Dr. Posvar refusing to see me, I must pay for a new eye exam and pay for new lenses all over again OUT OF POCKET. Remove him from Veterans referral list and fix me.

Gracelyn I went on and cancelled my September 24th OBGYN appointment, because I am transferring my care at that time, which I’ve discussed with Dr. Darcey and the scheduling team multiple times, and I woke up this morning to all of my appointments being cancelled with no communication to me whatsoever, not only has this been an issue but there has been a severe lack of communication from the OBGYN department since my intake. I do not hear anything back when I receive abnormal test results, when scheduling my 3 hr glucose test the front desk/check out schedule me for a 1 hr again, and if I wouldn’t have noticed and said something they would’ve just incorrectly scheduled me and wasted my time, this is an ongoing issue and there is a severe lack of training and communication in their office, I have never witnessed such dysfunction in a medical office in my life and I have worked as a receptionist and medical office clerk my entire career, I am extremely tired of the lack of communication on Baylor Scott and Whites end, I do not feel I am being cared for properly in the slightest. I called multiple times and was told someone would call me back because no one was answering the phones, and never received any calls back,I have never received such poor and careless healthcare in my life.

K. T. Been coming here for 3yrs now since we made the big move from Hawaii. Dr. Dacumos is a very friendly and informational doctor. Shes our family doctor and we all love coming to her. She always treats us like shes known us forever and provides and recommends us with the best route to take. The lobby staff are fast and friendly. I’ve heard some horror stories about the billing side of it, but fortunately, no issues yet. The area is clean and not dirty looking like some other clinics. Small parking lot, but it doesnt get too busy so the parking is more than enough. Located next to Stellas donuts and Pizza Hut on Villa Maria.

Grace Tsai Dr. Dacumos was nice and helpful, but the billing office up front is lacking. I had checked before going that my annual exam would not cost anything through my insurance, but when I arrived the front desk insisted that I have a copay BEFORE (important detail) my visit. I ended up paying to avoid issues, but then later my insurance claim had no record of the copay. I called my insurance and they said I never should have been charged and to take it up with the doctors office. After calling the PCP office, they said that was because I discussed something during my visit about fatigue. I thought back to the visit and the doctor had randomly asked me if I ever felt tired--I answered yes, I do, because I dont get enough sleep. The doctor literally just told me to get more sleep (duh?). The office staff then said that because of that discussion on fatigue, I was charged the copay. Charging me for discussing fatigue makes no sense because I was charged BEFORE I spoke to the doctor, and I wasnt actually treated for fatigue and, furthermore, it was not the reason I visited--the doctor had initiated that discussion. After going back and forth, the office said they would provide me a copay credit for my next visit, but not actually refund the cost. I would avoid the trouble of going to this clinic, not because of the poor quality of the doctor(s), but because of the misleading billing practices. I would hate to see what they would charge if I actually had a health scare.

Veronica Alvarado As a walk in, it takes a good amount of time in the waiting room before you can go back, but if an appointment is made, things go a bit quicker. The service is wonderful. All employees are kind and good listeners;never annoyed or too rushed/busy to really talk to you. The doctors are thorough and care about your well-being beyond simply prescribing you medication to get you out of their exam room. The downfall would be the wait time. Be sure to have ~1-2 hours set aside. Billing and pricing is always straightforward and has never been a problem.

MessTAMU16 I came in for an ingrown toe nail that had gotten pretty bad. When the doctor saw me I asked if she could cut it out and she said "I always heard you arent supposed to cut them out." She put a little silver nitrate on my toe and told me it would grow out on its own. I was uneasy with her decision to not doing anything about my toe, but figured maybe "I always hear" actually meant I heard at med school. When checking out they tacked on a new patient fee that doubled my cost that I was paying. Two months later after following their instructions it had only gotten worse. I went to another doctor in town who cut my toe nail and used acid to prevent regrowth. I asked him about what the doctor at this location said and he told me while very minor ingrowns can come out, once they get more significant the standard practice is to cut them out. My toe is now healing great and my pain is gone. So in summary, I paid this place twice the going rate for them to treat (or not treat) my toe based on "I always heard" just to later have to go to a decent doctor to get the issue fixed.

Craig Velez Whatever happened to Catholic charity, love, and patience? I thought this was a Catholic sponsored health system. The receptionist who greeted us was clearly unhappy that my wife tried to get x-rays for workman comp. Her rudeness was so unsettling. My wife had an appointment, but refused to stay because if that’s what the front is like, we can only imagine the back of the house attitude. When we told the receptionist we were leaving without being seen, she was happy to see us leave and didn’t even ask why we were leaving. I wish I could give negative stars. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Susan Allen Very prompt very astute! Hated the results, but she’s able to get me to ophthalmologist ASAP!! And prescribed something that I really needed to be on. Shingles on the face around the eye, which could have lead to blindness in my right eye! I had no idea it could be so devastating!! But she did.

Mecka B If you’re paying out of pocket or through your insurance company from your employer this place is the worse center I’ve ever been to. Im working on a formal complaint against this place. I’ve been waiting for medical paperwork for my employer over 3 months, never received it. I tried talking to office manager Julie, she lies about her whereabouts to avoid talking to you. When you make it to your appointment. There will be about 6 girls behind the 4 windows. They do absolutely nothing, no hello can I help you, nothing. If you want to be seen for multiple reasons like for example; you have a headache and your leg hurts. You will need to set up multiple appointments, they will only treat one thing at a time. This is so they can get paid for each issue. If you have bloodwork done that is an additional charge over $120. The ladies that answers the calls are so rude with the worse attitudes. I pay for very good insurance will never go to this place ever again. One good thing is the resident doctor Dr Grant was the sweetest guy but I can not and will not be treated poorly. It is not right.

Marie Goad I’m giving 5 stars because I usually see Abigail Carranza. She was booked I definitely noticed a difference in the patient/ dr relationship. She is exceptional every time I come in for a visit. Making me and my family feel like we are top priority. My visit this week was far from the standards she has set. I will definitely wait for Dr. Carranza my next appointment.

Lindsey Wallace I take my elderly mom to A&M family medicine. We’ve mostly good experiences. But this last one makes me a little hot (ie- pissed off .) I’m a daughter to an elderly mother. That is why I am at your clinic- for my mom. I am also a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Something my mom is extremely proud of and tends to over share about, especially when we go to a doctors visit. So, when I’m there with my mom and she is bragging on her daughter it is really disheartening to have a resident who just finished puberty quiz and challenge my knowledge of anatomy when I am talking about my moms symptoms. I don’t blame just the resident, I blame the attitude of medical schools that disrespect and malign the role of nurse practitioners. I know I am not a doctor. But my years on the planet should be enough to earn me the respect of being listened to vs being challenged. That is all.

Wesley Moore I have Dr Entz and is greet. Listens to all of my concerns without Judgement. Whenyou If he reads this, thank you for everything. Sam M.

Cynthia Ive been trying to get in touch with Dr. Higgins for a few days with no luck. I have tried on several occasions. It has been difficult to get something as simple as a prescription for a handicap tag or my parents from this doctor. You dont have to be a doctor to see the need or this assistance. Doctors are supposed to help you. Higgins does not seem to have the best indication of being helpful with his patients.

Sevan Goenezen Dr. Mark Higgins is a great doctor who cares deeply about his patients. He always takes his time to listen and is very knowledgeable in his field. Dr. Higgins goes beyond his regular duties to help as much as he can even on a very short notice. I highly recommend Dr. Higgins to anyone.

Felicia Mckinney This was my second time having a horrible experience with the ER. The first time, I had a miscarriage in the waiting room and sat there bleeding for hours. Then the doctor was extremely heartless and let me leave with instructions. I unfortunately had to pass my baby at home, in the worst pain of my life. Second time I literally came in by ambulance after having a wreck. Once again heartless doctors and nurses forced me to limp out out barefoot. Didn’t even offer a wheelchair until after I complained. Seems like they rather see you die. Then they forcefully ask for a payment before even seeing you or checking insurance.

Andrew Stephens Horrible experience. Four hours and didn’t see a doctor. Lots of patients waiting while staff cut up and joked around. Excellent business opportunity to cut incompetent staff, increase efficiency and effectiveness. Ended up being faster to drive to Houston and be seen by more competent medical professionals. Not sure why I thought it would be a good experience, was a medical facility with Baylor in the name.

Taylor Dubois Awful! DO NOT EXPECT HELP HERE! He took my grandmother off multiple medications and when she experienced psychosis and was taken to the ER twice over a weekend, he refused to alter her medication to stabilize her. He had been warned by multiple family members that she was showing signs of spiraling into a manic episode in the weeks before and he refused to schedule an appointment before her already scheduled appointment three months away. When family reached out to ask him to assess her while in the ER he said "there are people there that do that" which was not true. He clearly doesnt care for his patients or their families and has forgotten his oath to do no harm.

Don Allen Hes thorough and effective. He caught a bad mistake that my prior Psychiatrists had made with a medication.
