Plaza Medical Center of Fort Worth

After almost a month of being on 6e we went home yesterday and I would like to say we couldn’t ask for any better care. Delilah, Hector, Ahn, Salina, Jessica, Julie, Emily, Kelly, Tiffany, Caroline, Cintia, and Mary were amazing. The techs Tina, Laquesha, Betrice, Leonard and Tyler were super. Then there was Joesph and Zandra that completed making the team of caregivers amazing. 6e is a family to all they work as a team and no one is to busy to stop and answer a question. I wish this could be posted on the fb page but I just want everyone to know how we feel. The family of Daniel Cox Rm 602!!!

This is a nice facility. We have come here several times and through different situations. From the emergency room to ICU the nursing staff all seem knowledgeable and helpful.
Some nurses are better than others, meaning the respect they give to the patients visitors are just as companionate and appreciated.
The visitor elevators are so slow in responding it makes the stairs look really appealing. They are so slow, I am glad the staff has their own.

Called ahead to set up an MRI. Was told insurance completely covered the procedure (I had called three other places before trying to find one that could get me in and took my BlueCross Blue Shield insurance) Was told over the phone «Absolutely not a problem.» Experience getting MRI was smooth and easy. Problem: They then sent me a bill for over $ 600 dollars and when I called claimed that they had never told me any such thing and because I didn’t think to take down the name of the «helpful» woman on the phone they told me I needed to pay or attempt to go through my insurance company. I attempted the re-​file but of course it didn’t work– I was trying to work with the hospital keeping them up to date– And two days after speaking with them agreeing to call back in a few days to set up a payment plan they turned me over to a collection agency that started calling my work.
I am furious and embarrassed. This hospital LIED to me to get me to use the facility and instead of working with me as turned me over to a debt collection agency when I have been perfectly polite with them. Extraordinarily disappointing– And no one has even attempted to apologize for a lying employee.

Very great hospital, I brought my mother in on Thursday into emergency. After a few tests turns out they discovered that She needed surgery, they were very prompt and courteous about diagnosing her situation, she has been here a week and the staff and doctors are doing a great job as to treating her and keeping her comfortable. A big thank you to Dr. Nieto in emergency for his expertise and kindness.

My father and mother both stayed at this hospital always 5 star service. The Rooms are huge the nurses are nice and friendly. Lots of clean restrooms.

My husband is in the ER for stroke like symptoms. So far the staff have been very attentive. I believe they have done the required tests, we are now waiting on test results & to see the doctor. The only complaint is that there is no parking for the ER. There isn’t even a place to park temporarily while you get your loved one checked in. Luckily he was able to walk & I had to drive around to find a spot. Then walk back to the ER, it’s not safe for the patient at all. It made a scary & stressful situation even more stressful. So far the staff has been very good, no complaints with them.

I can’t say enough about the Ft. Worth Plaza Medical Center. My mom was one of 40 people in a chain of people donating and receiving kidneys in the United States. (She was donating in order for her cousin to be able to receive one since she wasn’t a match for him.) The doctors, nurses, and staff were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and they really took care of her, along with Rick, her cousin who got his transplant the next day. They went above and beyond. Thank you!!!

Seems clean and the staff is friendly. Needs more elevators — 2 is not enough. We found ourselves often waiting. Free valet parking is nice.
Overall the staff was good to work with.

Don’t go to the ER here. My primary care physician told me to go here to find out the cause of my extreme pain. Turned out to be a kidney stone. Dr. M O Davis told me to make an appointment with a specific urologist. Two days later, I was on my way to the urologist but had to stop by Plaza Medical for my x-​rays. While I was in the records room, I started feeling really dizzy. The lady working there said she was going to walk me to the ER. Which she did.
I spent the next few hours like this: first hour: terrified I had taken a bad combination of pills and would either a) have a heart attack or b) need my stomach pumped. I had taken ibuprofen (which made me throw up), so I took talwin 2 hours later (didn’t do anything), so I took otc aleve (lol, didn’t do anything). My background in drugs is I’ve never in my life taken anything stronger than aleve or motrin. EVER. I’m allergic to tylenol and most medicines make me sick. So maybe I was being paranoid (I know a lot of people do way more drugs than that and are fine), but the fact is that I turned white as a sheet and was thisclose to just falling over.
Next few hours: nausea and dizziness subsided. Pain is back (yes, it is worse than childbirth, I’ve had two kids, no painkillers there, but this kidney stone knocked me on my @@@). Keep asking nurses when doctor will be here to check me because all my painkillers are at home. They treat me like complete garbage. I didn’t understand why until Dr. M O Davis comes to see me after 4 – 5 hours. She starts out like this: «You are a stupid stupid girl». «Excuse me?» «I told you how hard it is to get an appointment with Dr. (urologist, btw she didn’t tell me it was hard to get in with him, she had only told me to call him asap) and you skip your appointment because you’re in a little (ha!) pain and want some morphine (which made me throw up for hours when they gave it to me a couple days before, which I told her)». So I defended my honor, saying «No, actualy, I came here becaues I was picking up my x-​rays for Dr. Urology and I was about to pass out and the records lady insisted on walking me over here.» «Oh, really?» Chit chat. Telling me I might lose my kidney for «skipping» my appointment. I told her I needed a different pain med (I hated doing this since she had already accused me of having a drug problem), and she said there was NOTHING ELSE in the existence of pain killers. Not word for word, but she did say there was nothing else at all available. As a final insult, she had the nurse write in all caps on my release papers «DON’T SKIP APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF PAIN». Where was she getting that from? She needs a jump to conclusions mat badly!!!
So I saw why the nurses avoided me, and when they stopped by to take my vitals treated me like garbage (everyone had been nice the time before).
*I saw a wonderful urologist 3 days later who prescribed me vicoprofen (?), which didn’t make me sick and worked great and the freaking stone passed 2 days after that.*
I am now contemplating sending her all my almost full bottles of painkillers.
If you don’t mind a doctor that calls you «stupid» for no reason other than jumping to a bad conclusion and telling every nurse her awful conclusion and having everyone treat you like a junkie/​piece of garbage when you’re in the worst pain of your life, this is the place for you! Be sure to request Dr Davis if you would like to humiliated!

This hospital is fine. It has a big joint replacement program which is great (see Dr. Weeden). The hospital is quite and clean. The staff ranges to from very good to just okay. The caffateria is pretty lam so plan on leaving for meals… there is something bad about the setup so it smells really bad when you enter, I think the dishwasher is near the entrance and it just smells gross when you go to get food. Staff shifts mean you have a lot of change day to day which is too bad. As always you need to be responsible for confirming that routine things occur — hand washing, PT services showing up, cautionary stuff like TED hose are on, etc… just like any hospital.
