Island Health Center - Galveston (TX)

1 /5 petethemedic: Employers, dont let employees come here. Friends dont let sick friends come here. I had far too many problems to list at this place. And all I needed was a preemployment drug test. Dont. Just dont. Zero minus stars.

1 /5 Danny Martinez: This is my 3rd time coming here to do blood work. 1st time, I was a walk in customer and told them I needed blood work that was order from my dermatologist. I did all the new patient paper work. As Im going in, the nurse was the same receptionist but I didnt mind. At first she was looking for a good vein to draw blood but could not find it in my 2 arms. So what she did was poke me on my veins on my hand. That was very painful and she could not find what so ever. She gave me water to drink and told me that would help me with my veins to show up. She poke me twice that day and told to come back the next day to see if that might help. Came the next day, she looked and try real hard to feel some vein and then poke me and she nailed it. Today was the third time to do blood work. There was a new receptionist and the older lady which I think she is a chiropractic doctor. I went in and she looked at my both arms and said that my veins dont showed and she told me shell warm my arm with an electric warmer so they can show up. 5 minutes pass as she came and poke me and missed. Try again and missed. She told me she could not find my veins and showed me hers that hers showed. She referred me to another clinic in Texas City but just thought to let you know this has being the only place in my entire life( Im 49 yrs old) that happen to me. They need experts, I felt that I was treated like I was the problem, even though they were friendly. Be aware of this if your veins dont showed to easily.

1 /5 Jasmine Jones: I was recommended this place by a local institution to complete pre-employment drug screening. Before drug testing, I asked on 3 separate occasions would a certain drug be tested and they reassured me 3 separate times that it would be. I received my results and that drug was indeed not tested. In fact, no one in the office seems to understand or know any medical science let alone which panel tests which drug and how each are metabolized. Needless to say, I had to find somewhere else that was a bit more sophisticated to complete my screening. What a waste of time and $$. The office administration needs more schooling. It’s frustrating that these are healthcare workers with minimal medical knowledge.

5 /5 DEE DEE: I never thought that I would post reviews or make comments about an establishment. But I can honestly say that my experience there was the best I have ever had visiting a doctor office. I went in super nervous but both ladies made me feel welcomed. The assistant personality was second to none. Doctor was pleasant as well. I told them when I was leaving that the assistant was the diamond of that establishment. Keep up the great work ladies...

5 /5 Alois Schmoller: Dr. Lori Antman likely saved my life. She made me get a basic blood test when the adjusting didnt work as well as she thought. Found some stuff, scheduled me for an MRI, which led to real cause of pain. Then she helped me get into MdAnderson for treatment. And no, I dont have insurance and she didnt make a lot of money on me. She is just a caring person that pays attention to her patients. The only doctor I will ever go to, and her staff is just as great, never had a bad visit.
