Central Texas Medical Center

This hospital and Dr. Kowalik are the reason we drive to Austin for a hospital. She was so rude I'm amazed she even has a practice. Avoid this at all costs, particularly women educated about birth.

YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO BE SICK HERE!

Spent one night in this awful place - emergency situation - anaphylactic shock - they charged me as if I chose to be here - perhaps on a vacation stay. Then claimed I was committing "insurance fraud" because I claimed that being brought here by ambulance, through no desire of my own, was not an emergency situation!

Also, the first room they tried to put me in had NO AIR CONDITIONING -
how can this even be a possible solution in South TEXAS???

RUN RUN RUN from this place.... you can not afford to be sick here!!

And I have Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage!!

So please do not use this facility!!! They will charge you an unbelieveable rate.... but offer quite expensive payment plans to "help" you

to be completely fair - the nurses that work here are fantastic - underpaid I am sure for the conditions that they have to work in -

Again - the only review or advice I can give you - RUN, "if you are able!"

Walked in to the ER at about 12:00 AM and the lady at the front desk was on her cell phone on a personal call!! Then when I gave her my information, instead of hanging up the phone she just set it down and the call was still going! Hello!!!! HIPAA violation??? Anyway other than that the care I received was excellent

You will do yourself a huge favor to avoid this ER if you don't have someone to wait there with you. Once they discover that you don't have anyone with you, they treat you like garbage and even send you out of the ER. The hospital itself has excellent Doctors but everything that is going on in the ER is a huge garbage (This includes the Doctors and Nurses over there). Makes me wonder if this is actually an ER or just some leeway to the MORGUE. Will ensure my family never has anything to do with this ER again

Worst hospital ever. Wouldn't come here again even if I was dying. Seriously these doctors and nurses are a joke. I have come here 4 times in the past and always regretted it. The last time I went to the ER I went to Austin in severe pain to St David's downtown, and don't go there either because it's not any better. I was treated there just as horribly. So sad.
