I have read the reviews about how to avoid and to stay away from this Hospital. But it is what it is. Yes, the long waits are unpleasant and it would be nice if things went faster. But people have to remember that a high volume of patients pass through the ER doors every day. What people don't see is that if they are in the large waiting room are all of the traffic that is coming through the Ambulance entrance. . Due to the high volume of level 1-trauma cases, (serious life threatening), this hospital boasts a degree of expertise that many other hospitals don't have. Yes, the beds in the ER are close together. That's for a reason. I have been to many ER's in my life but never have I seen the level of expertise that Ben Tuabs ER has. With the exception of a certain security guard, I found the personnel to be friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. If I have an emergency situation, there is absolutely nowhere else that I would go except for Ben Taub. They are simply the best trauma center in Texas and some would argue in the US. I want to thank them for saving my life. They are truly a Godsend!!
Pros: Best Hospital for ER Trauma care.
Cons: Triage requirements result in long waits
