Dr. Pedro E Cosculluela, MD

Worst experience ever with a dr from Methodist Hospital. Abrupt, dismissive, zero bedside manner. I’ll go elsewhere. I expect much more from Methodist doctors.

I had a successful surgery and recovery with Dr. Cosculluela. He gave good advice and kept me out of pain after surgery.His staff was very pleasant and never more than a 15 min wait. If needed I would use him again and recommend to others. C. Waggenspack Houston ,Texas 2019

Could care less about me as a human being or a patient. I received some upsetting news about possible neurological problems. He showed zero empathy as I was tearing up. He couldn't bother to turn off his phone until i mentioned something toward the end of my visit. He said "his buddies were blowing him up about stuff" as i was in shock of the prediagnosis he gave me. He tried to passify me and said "you're walking out the same way you walked in". He abrubtly left the appointment and said someone would be in touch with me.

Dr. C assessed my foot condition and corrected it completely. He gave me accurate information about the steps of my recovery and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Cosculluela lets his residents take the lead, which is a formula for disaster. One is expecting to see somebody with some experience and good credentials and ends up being a resident's guinea pig. He does not like questions, gets very defensive if you challenge him or ask common sense questions, which makes the whole experience stressful and ugly. He spends little time with the patient since the resident does all the work. And the worse, he is NOT present when the resident is seeing HIS patient and he does not check what the resident has told the patient. I could not trust anything that was said or done during my visits because they would give me contradictory information and asking for clarification meant confrontation and ugliness. Total waste of time, energy and money. His assistant is pretty rude too. The only nice people were the front desk and the lady that takes the patient to the X-ray room! I ended up going to a serious orthopedic center.

I spent about 10 min with Dr. Cosculluela. Most of the work was done by a very young resident, which did not give me the confidence I needed. He showed up at the very end, after talking with the resident. So, the resident's view could influence greatly the doctor's view. All this made me feel uneasy and did not give me the trust on the diagnosis and treatment I was looking for, which is corroborated by continuous pain. I ended up seeing another doctor. The Methodist should not use patients to train residents. If we pay to see an experience doctor, one should not be examine first by a resident. It was a nightmare to set up an appointment with him also.

My visit with him was less than the time I spent waiting from the moment I arrived for my visit. I visited with him for about 10-15 min. Waited over 1hour. If I would have known he would not give me a cortisone shot for my heel pain, I definitely would not have made an appointment to see him.

Dr. C has impressive credentials and his offices are very nice and professional. But, the doctor has an attitude and can be condescending. He does not like for his patients to question his treatment, and he makes you feel stupid for asking questions that really concern you as a patient. He changed our course of treatment from 3 months to 6 months without having any complications. Sometimes I think he said 3 months just so we would agree to the surgery, when in fact he knew all along that is would take at least 6 months to recoup. His nurse (Natalie), also has an attitude and poor people skills. She will call you up with gum in the mouth and won't greet you or even look you in the eyes when you show up. Houston has so many great orthopedic surgeons, I'd say go somewhere else if how the doctor and his nurse treats you is important to you. One time his staff called and asked us to show up an hour earlier for our appointment because of a cancellation, only to make us sit and wait for an… hour in his waiting room. We should just have kept our original appointment.

He saw me briefly and never looked at my x-rays. Very unprofessional and careless attitude. Not sure why, as I obviously need surgery and was looking for a doctor with Methodist....
