I began seeing Doug in August for a herniated cervical disc. At that time I was in extreme pain, had very little movement in my neck as well as a pinched nerve in my arm which made my arm difficult and painful to move. I was referred by my western dr. for a fusion surgery. This is when I found Tigerlily and began my road to recovery which has been remarkable. Doug is very professional and has remarkable skills as an acupuncturist. I still see Doug for 'tune ups' but am now pain free. I would encourage anyone suffering from pain or even stress and anxiety to give Tiger lily a try.

Having suffered arthritis of the back and chronic bursitis of the hip, I was ready for something to provide a little relief. I stopped at Trisha Han's office to discuss acupuncture as an option. I was impressed with her honest answers and professional attitude. In approximately three visits, I noted some pain reduction AND I was sleeping better. Now, some 3 months later, I am nearly pain free. I plan to continue her treatments and especially appreciate her level of care and desire to help me improve.
Pros: excellent care
Cons: none

The Seton Medical Center is located on 38th Street right next to Seton Medical Tower. The doctors for the OB/GYN are right next door, so they were able to come over and check on me after having a baby. The nurses there were great, making sure I had everything I needed, and controlling the crowd that came to visit. The pharmacy right down stairs made it convenient for me to get my pain meds before we left to go home.

My husband had been going to Dr. Irvin when he was Austin Regional Clinic off of Mays St in Round Rock before he transfered to ARC in Cedar Park. We have heard that he is now back at the Round Rock location and are thrilled. He was always very friendly with my husband and extremely professional during his office visits. He is very thorough in his exams and takes his time with his patients and does not rush them out the door. My husband never had trouble making appointments to get in to see him and he never had too long of a wait in the waiting room or the examing room. He is a great doctor all around.

Unfortunately I have visited quite a few of the hospitals in or around the Austin area and this hospital by far has been the best. I had to go in to have my gall bladder removed and was treated well for the day that I was there. I didn't have to wait long for my pre-op and the staff were courteous and got me the information I needed and answered all my questions. The day of the surgery went smoothly with friendly and helpful staff.
PROS: Great hospital!
CONS:

My brother went to Seton Emergency Room on September 2, 2006 in the evening hours complaining of chest pain, abdominal pain, back pain. He was not even completly evaluated instead he was given some pills and told to go home. In the early hours before 2 AM my parents arrived at home to find him in bad shape and so they rushed him back to Seton hospital. Guess what? He needed emergency open heart surgery because he had an Aortic Ascending and Dissecting Aneurysm. The symptoms he had not even twenty-fours hours earlier were the symptoms of an aneurysm. The doctor told my parents if they had not brought him in when they did he would of died within the hour. Unbelievable considering my brother went to the hospital to seek medical help and was sent home with pills. After, surgery he was in ICU and he had some really bad nurses in the evening that had terrible bedside manner, lazy, cold and unsympathetic to their patients needs and care and the patient's family. A good example is my brother soiled on himself and rather than change the bedding and clean him up the nurse left him in this condition. My mother had to coax the nurse in cleaning him so he could then be transferred to another floor. She did the very minimal cleaning lets put it this way a dog or cat is cleaner after a bowel movement than he was. She just did not want to take the time to clean him up rather send him up to the next floor and have them do the dirty work. The fourth floor nurses were more interested in keeping him drugged up on Rispedal and sedatives so he would not wake up without being in a dazed confused state of mind. My parents were very cooperative with the nurses and provided them their cell phone numbers and alternate numbers to contact as needed. Today, on September 12, 2006 in the early hours of the morning before 2 AM a nurse comes in by and manhandles my brother with a rough swab in his mouth and made the inside of his mouth bleed. Then she tries giving him more sedatives when the whole objective is to wean him off the sedatives so the physicians can evaluate my brother's condition better. Fortunately, my mother was there in his room and she asked the nurse what she was doing and the nurse told my mother and my mother said no more sedatives my son needs to wake up without being in a daze. So then she rips his other IVS out and has the IVS leaking on his bed sheets and she never changed the sheets either. My mother found a clean sheet and put it where the IVS were leaking on his bed. Another issue is the "Sitter" whom is supposed to be in my brother's room monitoring him today was told to go home when my mother arrived yesterday ( 9-11-06). When my mother asked where was the sitter going the nurse said they sent the sitter home and did not need her anymore. My brother has been running fevers and rather than run blood tests they let him stay that way until my mother demanded some blood work be done to findout what is causing the fevers and he also has an infection. The nurses like to restrain my brother rather than speak to him and tell him he just had heart surgery. My brother has had a feeding tube in him since this past Saturday because he is not awake yet to eat solids of coarse he would not be able to eat on his own when all the nurses keep doing is giving him sedatives. My final thoughts would be for any and all people to BEWARE SETON HOSPITAL is a great place to become addicted to pain pills and to be kept sedated and to see plenty of rude and uncaring nurses. THIS HOSPITAL IS NOT FIT FOR AN ANIMAL TO GET ADEQUATE TREATMENT LET ALONE A HUMAN BEING.

I went to Urgent Care Plus because I have a Pilonidal Cyst that had gotten infected. The facilities were very clean and all of the staff was very friendly. I was a little wary after reading previous reviews. The doctor was knowledgeable and prescribed the exact antibiotics that are recommended for the treatment of pilonidal cysts. Very good experience.

I came across this site because I needed to get my records from all of the admissions I had to Shoal Creek. I had a nervous breakdown back in 1998 and spent the next five years in Shoal Creek. I was in and out monthly. I am also a cutter. I was in the hospital more than I was out of the hospital. I can tell you that there was not one time that any one of the doctors or nurses or workers did or said anything that hurt or damaged me emotionally or physically. I on the other hand, cannot say that about the other seven or eight other hospitals that I have been in since. Shoal Creek was my second home. No other place could be or will ever be the same. The staff were a dedicated bunch of people who stuck with it over the years not like other hospitals where the turn over rate is high. Don't believe everything you hear because there are two sides to everything. This is mine.

More 1 year ago
After several years of suffering from chronic lower back pain that left me nearly immobile at times - standing in line to get tickets for a movie was impossible for instance, I decided to try acupuncture. Still skeptical of non-traditional treatments, I sought out a practitioner that was also an MD. I could not be happier with that decision or with Dr. Ximenes.
Rather than just ask me about my back, Dr. X asked me about my life. An hour and twenty minutes into my first visit, we were done talking and he recommended nutritional supplements, a book to read, and a 5 element acupuncture process that he said, "Has nothing to do with your back, but you'll be amazed how much better your back will feel".
I still visit Dr. X on occasion, I still get flair ups due to excessive periods of stress or perhaps even from lifting a heavy object carelessly. I see him perhaps once every six months. Being a technical person, I very much enjoy his explanations of how and why his techniques work.
Prior to meeting Dr. X I was seeing a chiropractor regularly and was taking Vioxx, Bextra, and was getting cortisone shots in my lower back. No one remedy was effectual for more than 30 days. For a couple of years now I've been absolutely medicine free, I am exercising and cycling regularly - and waiting patiently in line to see a movie now and then!
Thank you Dr. Ximenes!
