3 San Antonio Hospitals Named Among the Best in Texas for 2025

Which San Antonio hospitals are ranked among the best in Texas this year?

The latest U.S. News & World Report rankings are in, and San Antonio hospitals are making impressive gains on the statewide stage. In its 2025 evaluation of 581 Texas hospitals, U.S. News recognized three San Antonio institutions for excellence in care, patient outcomes, and specialty services.

Methodist Hospital: San Antonio’s Top Performer

At the top of the local list is Methodist Hospital, ranked the 9th best hospital in Texas — a major leap from its 18th place ranking in 2024. Methodist also held onto its title as San Antonio’s best hospital for the second year in a row.

“This recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our physicians, nurses, and care teams who live out our mission every day,” said Ryan Simpson, CEO of Methodist Hospital. “It reflects not only the excellent care we provide but also our continued commitment to advancing health care for the people of San Antonio and beyond.”

Alongside its overall performance, Methodist received recognition in several specialty areas, reinforcing its role as a leader in comprehensive patient care.

Baptist Medical Center: Making a Big Jump

Baptist Medical Center also had a standout year, climbing to the 15th best hospital in Texas — a significant improvement from its 29th place ranking in 2024. This recognition placed Baptist in a three-way tie with Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin and Medical City Dallas.

As San Antonio’s second-highest ranked hospital for 2025, Baptist’s jump underscores the hospital’s continued investment in advanced care and its growing reputation for quality treatment.

Methodist Hospital Stone Oak: Strong Local Showing

Rounding out the city’s top three is Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, ranked No. 21 in Texas and third in San Antonio. It tied with Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.

“I’m so proud of our incredible team members whose hard work has made this achievement possible,” said Michael Beaver, CEO of Methodist Hospital Stone Oak. “Every person here contributes to our mission of delivering high-quality, advanced, patient-centered care, ensuring a great patient experience.”

How U.S. News Determines Rankings

U.S. News evaluates hospitals annually based on multiple factors, including patient survival rates, nurse staffing levels, advanced technology availability, and expert opinions from physicians. Hospitals are also ranked among 15 medical specialties, such as:

• Cancer

• Cardiology and heart surgery

• Orthopedics

• Psychiatry

• Diabetes and endocrinology

• Rehabilitation

• Obstetrics and gynecology

Out of the hundreds of hospitals reviewed, only a fraction meet the standards to be ranked at the state level, making this recognition a meaningful accomplishment.

San Antonio in the Statewide Picture

While Houston and Dallas hospitals continue to dominate the top spots — with Houston Methodist Hospital ranked No. 1 overall — San Antonio’s showing highlights the city’s rising profile in health care. With Methodist Hospital breaking into the top 10 and Baptist Medical Center making one of the largest jumps in the rankings, San Antonio residents can take pride in knowing they have nationally recognized care close to home.

The Takeaway

With three hospitals ranked among the best in Texas for 2025, San Antonio’s health care system is proving its strength on a statewide level. From Methodist Hospital’s climb into the top 10 to Baptist Medical Center’s major leap forward and Methodist Stone Oak’s steady excellence, these institutions reflect the city’s commitment to world-class medical care.
