Christopher Hulen, MD

Dr. Hulen explained in easy terms what was wrong and what he could do to fix it.

Very informative and caring

We were very impressed with Dr. Hulen. His bedside manner was very good, very responsive to our answers. He seemed to really like his job. We have been 3-4 orthopedic doctors in Houston. He has the best bedside manner of all of them.

Good

Verry good

I felt very at ease discussing my health concerns with everyone as they seemed interested and willing to listen to my long-winded health complaints.

It was a great experience.

Dr. Hulen requested an updated MRI (prior to any proposed treatment options); waiting for scheduling

Dr Hulen is so kind and gentle. He performed surgery on my neck and it all went smoothly. I have every bit of trust in him and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Went to Dr. Hulen because I was referred there by Beumont Hospital for numbness and weakness in legs. Dr. Hulen did an MRI which showed that I had mild spinal stenosis. When Dr. Hulen looked at the MRI he said I actually had moderate spinal stenosis due to tangible evidence of measurements of the cauda equina. I was put on medication and told to return in 6 weeks. The medication worked for a little over a week but the symptoms came back. I tried calling the office to see if I could increase the medication since I was on the lowest dose. It took him and his office 5 days to return my call. I messaged Dr. Hulen on the Beaumont messaging center another time trying to get an increase since I was still on the lowest dose of medication and I was suffering. The medication is not an opioid or anything you would get addicted to, You can tell the message was read on Beaumont's system because it is no longer in bold type. This time no response of phone call from Dr. Hulen at all. A few days… later I get a voice message from Beaumont saying my doctor needs me to set up an appointment for a procedure. At this point I had seen so many doctors I did not know what doctor or what procedure. I had to call and find out who and what procedure I was signing up for. At this point I am in the process of changing surgeons just in case I do need surgery later on down the road. When Dr. Hulen was telling me about the surgery I would eventually need, he said "I could do it with my eyes closed". Not what I want to hear from my surgeon.
