Houston Methodist Hospital – Walter Tower

Houston Methodist Hospital - Walter Tower is a hospital in Houston, TX. It holds a rating of 4.00 based on 79 reviews.

The Walter Tower is built around image-guided, robotic-assisted surgical technology, which allows surgeons to operate through smaller incisions. Less invasive surgery of this kind means faster recovery times and, in many cases, shorter hospital stays. Intra-operative imaging lets doctors identify and remove blood clots from strokes or cancerous tumors, and it allows them to diagnose and perform procedures without leaving the operating room rather than transporting patients to radiology and back. The hospital's gastroenterology program performs tens of thousands of colorectal screenings each year, and its specialists also use colonoscopies to rule out, monitor or confirm conditions such as Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease and colitis. Preventive screening is recommended beginning at age 45 for patients who have never had a colonoscopy, or at 40 for those with an immediate family member diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The hospital's care extends across a broad range of conditions, from achalasia, acid reflux and acute pancreatitis to acoustic neuroma, adult congenital heart disease, advanced heart failure, ALS and Alzheimer's disease. Houston Methodist Hospital is ranked Best in Texas and No. 5 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for Gastroenterology and GI surgery, and has been named to the publication's Honor Roll.

The hospital sits on Bertner Ave in Houston.

Patients who have been treated here have given the hospital a positive rating, and it has built a steady record of repeat and referred customers.
