Methodist Orthopaedic Specialists of Texas

First and foremost — Doctor Dominy is a wonderful and kind doctor who surgically corrected a fracture in my left side collarbone. He did a great job. The PA, Clay, was also very helpful and kind during my experience.
The only negative thing I have to comment on is the policy Methodist Sports Medicine has in place regarding payment when the patient is involved in a motor related accident.
I was struck by a car whilst riding my bicycle in my neighborhood June 2014. I had insurance at the time, thankfully, but this office REFUSED to accept payment through my insurance. They will only accept FULL PAYMENT from the injured person because they ASSUME the injured person is receiving payment from the responsible/​at fault driver. This is very frustrating and I had to argue with them every time I visited the office post-​surgery for X-​rays and office visits. I ALWAYS ended up paying out of pocket at first and then had to call their billing department DIRECTLY in order for them to bill my insurance. I had to explain to them each time that I was on a bike, not in a car, and that the driver nor her insurance was covering the cost of my injuries because she was not listed on the auto-​policy as an insured driver.
Just a heads up for those of you in motor accidents. =)

I want to say I’m very unhappy with is place. We called wanting a surgeon that specialized in shoulders we were given an appt with a sports med dr. We didn’t realized he wasn’t a surgeon until he was in front of us. After lookin at my ER X-​rays he said I have a small crack in shoukder. Go to therapy starting next week then come bk in 3 weeks for X-​rays. So off we went we went to physical therapy there the kid who was our therapist had me doing very aggressive stuff I kept saying this isn’t making it worse and he said no repeatedly it was very painful. When I went bk for X-​rays the dr was very nervous and said the fracture had more then doubled in size what did you do. I said PT as you said. He wanted me to see surgeon same day. Well we went and saw the surgeon and he said I had a surgical neck fracture and it most likely won’t spread anymore go home no PT and come bk in 2 weeks so I did. The fracture had almost mended. I told him I was in tons of pain and he said take sling off and go on with life. Start PT again. So nervously I agreeded however pain kept gettn worse all the way to my hand so I requested a shoukder specialist which I went to see in same group of dr. This dr was rude when I asked how large the fracture had gotten he kept evading my question said he thought I’d improve but could take up to 6 mos didn’t wanna do MRI. So when I went bk to
PT she was stunned they didn’t do MRI and she went to talk to them. Later that Day got a phone call to sched MRI. When I went bk to him he was full of a large ego. I’m sorry but I felt like he was belittling me. We kept saying why we’re we told the fracture had more then doubled when he said it didn’t. He wouldn’t respond. I asked again how big was it he wouldn’t answer. My husband called the next day to ask if he had viewed all the X-​rays because they were takin by diff dr they didn’t return his call instead the nurse called me bk next day and said come get your file and basically go somewhere else. I was stunned I’ve never seen anything like it. I feel they lied and are the reason my shoulder got worse and are now covering up for the first doctors mistake in having me do
Aggressive PT too soon. I’d like to add my fracture wasn’t a surgical neck it was a greator tuberosicty.. Beware!!! Look around and get second or third opinion!

This review is for the physical therapy department. Apparently, someone does work there, but chooses not to ever answer the phone. I politely waited 20 – 30 minutes before calling again, but spent over three hours calling four different numbers each call unable to reach a human being.
If you have an urgent matter involving an appointment, they won’t pick up nor even check messages for hours on end. Once, it did roll over to a very strange unprofessional man who didn’t even know the name of the business I’m calling. Finally, LOL, an hour after my appointment, someone called to say I missed my appointment (never checking for messages apparently). Later still, (again, LOL). they called to say they would call my PT to say I would miss my appointment, not even knowing my PT had called nor noticing my appointment was already missed!
There Is no communication between departments or even with the doctors in the building, as my doctor had not shared my medical records nor the PT order.
Sick today, but impossible to rest. My entire morning was wasted on the ridiculous phone!
P. S. Just curious, called them again 1pm &4:30pm. No answer, but got the recording!
P. S.P.S. At 4:45pm, they called me again, the «rescheduler» said, «OOps! I shouldn’t have gotten your message. They transferred the message to the wrong department.»
If they are so confused, I am apprehensive that they can get my PT directives correct. Because I’ve had very major spine surgery & can’t risk even more pain, I am choosing a different Physical Therapist.

I’ve had nothing but excellent care at MOST. Dr. Jeff Wood did my back surgeries in 2001 and 2006. I’ve done very well. I reviewed that specific doctor here:

The offices have lots of free parking. The place is new, shiny, and comfortable to wait in. The waiting room is often full and seems like you might have to wait a long time, but there are so many doctors, the turn around is quick. They have a physical therapy clinic and water physical therapy area on premises. Their surgery schedulers and insurance billers are all there at the building, so if you have a problem, you can speak directly to them.
Overall, I’ve been very pleased with the whole place.

Doctor comments to me: «Hate to be negative. It’s probably just gonna get worse.» Didn’t your momma teach you how to give bad news or better yet. Can’t you say, ‘Well we could try … then you can let me know how it’s going’ Stop putting your negativity into my energy field.
Also — are steroids the only answer at this place? Seriously — no mention of alternate options that I know are out there?
Well you do get in the door quick for appointments and hey they treat some of Houston’s biggest athletes. I wonder if they offer them alternate options or just give em steroids?
