I've now made three trips to MD Anderson Hospital. As a stage 4 pancreatic cancer patient, outside of my family, time is my most valuable asset. So, why take that precious time and write a Google review? Because this place deserves it. There are so many impressive things about this organization. Technology is one. They use it everywhere and use it well. Communication with the patient is amazing via technology. I can go in and do a blood test and by the time I get off the elevator for the next appointment, the results will be coming into MyChart. They coordinate between departments incredibly well. They scheduled 8 different appointments and procedures for me in one day. They also run more phase 1 clinical trials than any other hospital in the world. But the thing that makes the biggest difference is their people. Staff, nurses, physicians, front desk, security officers. Whomever you run into, they help you. If you are lost, they walk you to your appointment. I don't know if they will cure me, but the experience has been wonderful.

My dad recently passed away while under the care of MD Anderson. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer a little over a year ago and had his bladder removed, which means he needed a urostomy bag. Even though that can seriously impact someone's quality of life, my dad was always in good spirits and didn't let it bother him. About a year later, a mass was discovered near his colon. The doctors and PA's at MD Anderson took a biopsy and said the results showed no cancerous cells. Turns out they didn't do the procedure correctly and only tested one side of the mass. When they took another biopsy, they discovered that it was indeed cancerous. But we lost a couple weeks in that process. If they had done their jobs correctly, they would've found it sooner. My dad sent multiple messages through myChart complaining of pain and asking to see the actual doctor, but was ignored and dismissed by the PA assigned to him over and over again, losing valuable time for treatment. It took over a month from the time the cancer was discovered to when he actually got an appointment to see someone, and it still wasn't the doctor. What kind of hospital would delay the treatment of cancer for that long!? Especially "the best cancer center in the world". The mass continued to cause pain and grow abnormally fast (from 4cm to 12cm in 1 week) for my dad for weeks and no one there seemed to care. He had 1 chemo treatment, which would've been delayed 3 weeks had it not been for my family demanding to have it moved up. Some side effects of that chemo caused him to be rushed to the ER, where they kept him overnight. They then said he needed an enema, which did nothing to help his situation because the mass was pinching his colon closed. In fact, it made everything worse because it caused serious distention in his stomach, which obviously caused even more pain, and they needed to perform an emergency colostomy to relieve the gas build up. This meant my dad now had a urostomy bag AND a colostomy bag! Pretty rare to have both. But even still, my dad remained in good spirits and even joked about it. The next morning, was when everything went to sh"t. They asked him to stand up and walk around the room, but within a minute, he collapsed. And he never got back up. My brother witnessed the whole thing. They emergency team on staff took there sweet ass time to get there, over 10 minutes!! And weren't able to revive him. Again, a hospital of this caliber should have more of a sense of urgency, but they didn't care. He died on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. I saw him laying there, lifeless. It was the worst day of my life. I'll never forget it. My dad was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother. He was an engineer by trade, but also an artist, singer, writer, handyman, car enthusiast, movie buff, and just an amazing man that the world was lucky enough to experience. MD Anderson has ads on TV and radio touting themselves as having the most compassionate staff and great communication between departments...all bullshit*t. No one knows what the other dept is doing and they must all be immune to the struggles of their patients because they just don't care. At least not enough to save their lives. And on top of all that, they charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for sub-par treatment. They need to be held accountable for their lack of care and treatment for their patients. Something needs to be done to correct this flawed healthcare system. Not just at MD but all over the country. My family is trying to help correct this system. And if anyone else out there has had a similar story, I hope that you'll join us. https://patientsforchange.com/ Love you so much Dad. Miss you everyday ❤️❤️❤️

I watched my Dad die at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. It was awful. I wanted to share a bit about the experience in hopes that other people can have better experiences. MD Anderson touts itself as “the Best Cancer Center in the World.” But it is not. Dad was failed by Dr. Ashish Kamat and his entire team. Worst of all by his PA, Robert Ramage. I implore other families to think twice before entrusting your loved ones to this team’s care. But there were others who are culpable. The entire culture of this hospital is “cancerous.” Over an agonizing year of treatment and mistreatment, a catastrophic failure in care at the hands of MD Anderson cost my Dad his life. That failure began in November of 2023, and culminated with Dad’s shocking death in a cramped, post-opp room on the 5th floor of your Oncology building, just a few weeks short of his birthday. Dad would have been 79 this past New Years Day. Dad deserved so much better. He truly was the most likeable, loveable person. Dad’s death was an ugly scene. Something I don’t wish on anyone. Watching someone you love suddenly taken from you is traumatic enough. But compounding that pain by witnessing a complete breakdown in procedure, a complete deficit of know-how, and a complete absence of urgency from the MD Anderson Staff was unconscionable. The lack of training, professionalism, and empathy on display at MD Anderson that Tuesday morning was shocking. And heartbreaking. But it was consistent with that my Dad and our family experienced over the past 12 months. I wrote a letter to Peter Pisters, which you can find at a new website my family and I created, called patientsforchange.com. Please read it and please help us do all we can to ensure every patient is treated like family. Sending prayers and love to you all. 🙏❤️

Very experienced Doctors and Nursing staff. Staff very friendly and helpful. They have Volunteers willing to help navigate the center which was helpful. I see why it’s considered the best cancer center in the world. Traveling from Charlotte NC to receive the best treatment for my wife.

I’ve been going to MD Anderson since my first surgery bin 2017. Five surgeries and almost 8 years later, I still feel like they are the best and have always taken great care of me. I highly recommend this excellent medical center!

My Aunt was dying and I wasnt allowed in the room because I wasnt "immediate family" even though I was the one taking care of her! I didnt get my last goodbyes.. SHE SUFFERED, the nurses did nothing, and I couldnt be there! never again... never ever again... one of her nurses was also very rude! Gosh I wish I couldve remembered her name with some of the comments she was making she almost got slugged! I am beyond furious!

As a volunteer here, I can say that it is a great place. The different locations in the Main and Mays buildings are unique and make patients feel like home.
