Friendly and professional care from the doctor
Very clean facility, staff were very friendly, kind and courteous. Dr. Maldonado is an excellent physician with great bedside manners. He was very respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. I had a great experience as a patient.
He had reviewed my most recent MRI and pointed out the issues that he felt he could help to alleviate the severe pain I've been having in my right hip. He walked me through all of the options and seemed pleased with the option I chose for further treatment.
Professional, kind. Courteous, thoughtful, thorough.
Outstanding treatment of every aspect of my visit
I would definitely use Dr David Maldonado again. I trusted from the very beginning. He was very knowledgeable about my condition and was willing to get me back on my feet again.
Dr Maldonado is a very through and detailed doctor. I highly would recommend him to anyone in need of his services.
The staff is very professional. Once I am greeted by the doctor, he gives me 100% intel, lets me know thoroughly what's about to happen. And overall, I feel 1000% comfortable with my doctor, Maldonado.
Everyone was great as usual.
Every one was kind, polite and very helpful.
He is a very caring doctor and explains every thing in great detail I would never change from this Dr.
Doctor Maldonado is a very professional doctor with a unique specialty. I would like to thank him for fixing my hip.
The doctor patiently explained to my daughter what problem she had and how she could manage her situation. He was very pragmatic and kind.
Front staff, MA and doctor were pleasant. I only have two strong complaints: 1. It's 2025 and we have EPIC. Why are you requiring I provide a CD of imaging when you can access all of my records, including all imaging, electronically from other institutions who are also on EPIC? This should no longer be the customer's burden. 2. I of course want a second opinion from another doctor for a major surgery. I was surprised to hear you charge $15 to create a CD of X-rays. No other medical institution in Houston (Methodist, Kelsey-Seybold, Memorial Hermann) has charged me for my records. As a potential customer, you will earn thousands in revenue from my surgery.
Awesome team.
Dr was very caring and discussed in detail my options after looking at my current X-rays and MRI. Discussed plan of care and scheduled my next appoint.
Very friendly staff and doctor, I felt well taken care of.
The doctors and staff are excellent! My husband had a ankle replacement with Dr greaser. The hip Dr Maldonado was extremely excellent. I rate this staff at 100 percent!!!
I was never physically examed.....
Everyone from the person who checked me in to Dr Maldonado were professional and yet friendly. The waiting rooms are comfortable and parking is easy. I would recommend this facility to my friends.
Excellent conversation with dr maldonado. He's the best
