2. Houston Methodist Hospital
The most historic and authoritative general hospital in the Houston area, it is also the top-ranked general hospital in Texas and a world-class top-tier general hospital. However, the hospital maintains a high-profile medical practice with a low-profile public image, rarely advertising outside of Texas, and has almost become the "family clinic" for Texans. The family of former U.S. President Bush, who are native Texans, are loyal clients here, using it as their designated hospital for treatment and rehabilitation. The hospital offers a highly recommended full-body check-up program that is comprehensive and absolutely authoritative; the hospital only schedules two people per day! Advance booking is required.
Houston Methodist Hospital, founded in 1919, is the number one ranked general hospital in Texas and has been repeatedly named one of the best hospitals in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report. The hospital system has 6 hospitals, emergency centers, and rehabilitation centers in the Houston area. Ophthalmology, epilepsy, cardiology, and cardiovascular surgery are the hospital's strengths. The Houston Methodist Research Institute specializes in translational medicine and clinical research, converting basic research into clinical applications, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, neuroscience, bioengineering, and nanomedicine.
