Reviews for San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates
"Excellent really takes time to listen and address your concerns. Very pleased and consider myself lucky to be her patient."
"This group practice is very organized and professional. I appreciate the front office, the nursing staff and the Drs."
"My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Otero for many years and have had several colonoscopies throughout those years. We both feel he is a wonderful doctor and feel he is one of, if not, the best in San Antonio. He has always been nothing but kind, patient, informing and eager to answer any questions we have. He is truly a good man and an exceptional doctor. As with any office who has a staff, there are going to be weaker links at times, Dr. Otero responds to staff issues and does his best to rectify those issues. I chose to give a 5 star rating because I have experienced a staff problem, informed Dr. Otero of the problem and he eagerly put in the work to correct the issue, what more can be asked of a Doctor with a large staff? I will add, I wish ALL doctors had Dr. Otero’s kindness, heart and skill."
"My husband and I have seen a lot of specialists throughout the span of 25 years, and we have met only 5 medical specialists who have outstanding bedside manners, professionalism, so caring and concerned about our health conditions and go the extra mile for us. Dr. Otero is at the top of the list. We feel so blessed that he is taking care of our health matters."

Because I wasan early I actually got into the procedure room a little early and the nurse prepped me and explained what was going to happen.

"I am a Gringo, but kind of an expert with Mexican Food. And my Spouse is from Mexico. We ate here Sunday,11/24/24, around 5:00 p.m., it was our first visit. The food was very good! Pros: On Street Parking;free this time of year, BYOB, clean appearance, Nice decor!, clean bathroom. Server was very efficient, listened and was friendly. Food: Salsas Roja y Verde were good! Could be a bit more spicy ( pica ). Salsa Chipotle was very good, smokey / spicy. Burrito de pollo had much flavor! Torta de Tinga Pollo Chipotle was very good! Guacamole was fresh and very tasty!!! Reasonable prices! Cons: Dining area has close seating if sitting in booth tables. A little less salt in the Burrito would be better. I would recommend this place to friends and family!!! Definitely try the Guacamole. See pics."

"San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates 520 E. Euclid Ave. San Antoino, TX 78212 Their there to do their job sign you in wait your turn could be 15 minutes to 30 45 at most. But yet they want you there 15 minutes early to sign in. Their focus on getting you in and out once your in the waiting room to see the PA never see the dr. But again they do their jobs and move you out. Now to get your results. Takes them for ever I had to call several times to get them. But the only reason I stay with this office is cause when I do se Dr Guerra his very good 👍 at what he does. On the other hand would very much like to thank James and Laurie, and his staff. Such nice individuals every single one of them. At Heartlink cardiac rehab 8811 Northeast Village Dr San Antonio TX 78217 I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customize service that made me focus, and was enjoyable to do my heartlink cardiac rehab with them. They efficiently organized our exercises to some fun music and now that I'm done with my physical therapy I carry the same organization to my gym workouts and it makes it fun and not so much a task and much easier to complete my routine instead of doing 15 minutes on 3 different machines 3 times a week I'm doing 4 to 5 days 20 to 30 minutes on each machine and at home I'm able to do and hour on my treadmill. They've given me that motivation to continue. And not be scared or afraid to improve and demonstrate my ability to break down my workouts into a manageable hour and feel good once I'm done for the day. Thank you all I definitely appreciate your support God bless you all. Continue doing what you're doing cause it matters more than you know. Gives us back more than just our confidence. Gives us back the ability to know that we can do better and not feel less then we are. Miss you all ! But one last thing don't put the food channel on put a fun game show on instead! Sincerely Janie Trevino ♡"

He is assertive and educates his patients about what they can do to improve their health.

I remembered Dr. Flores from having transcribed his dictation while employed by Christus Santa Rosa. He remembered me as well! Dr. Flores is one of the best physicians in his field. He’s personable and professional at the same time. He is not dismissive of a patient’s presenting issues. My husband, who’s hard to please, loves his new doctor.

He listened to all my concerns based on the notes I seen on the app after the appointment he got it all right, it set me up for some MRIs so that we can get to the root source of my problem. The Doctor and staff are very professional and I strongly recommend Dr.Aayers."

"Having to see a GI is a new milestone in my adult life and Dr. Bullock made it an easy and reassuring process! I'm the type of patient who will ask a 100+ questions and he answered anything I threw his way. On the day of my procedure, I oddly didn't feel as nervous as I probably should have because I felt comfortable and like I was in good hands. Dr. Bullock, and the staff at the GI Alliance, were all so kind and respectful. While I can't say the procedure was great (who would say they loved a colonoscopy), the care I received was absolutely wonderful! I'd highly recommend Dr. Bullock and his team to anyone needing a GI specialist."
"The whole experience was very professional and very efficient. I was in and out quickly. I highly recommend!"
"My favorite pizza!!! I don’t live in Buffalo but absolutely need this pizza every time i’m in town."
"I was referred to Dr Guerra by a USAF colleague in 1985-1987 and have been his patient for over thirty years. I referred many other colleagues and friends to him over the years with great confidence. His office is well-managed, staff helpful, and strive for perfection. Dr Guerra is an exceptional doctor simply the "best-of-the best."He is very ethical, professional, respectful, and truly cares about his patients. He is assertive and educates his patients about what they can do to improve their health. His sincerity, patience, and kindness ensure patients trust, confidence, and awareness one is receiving the best care. I cannot say enough good about Dr Guerra and I very strongly recommend him to whoever may be so fortunate to read this post- he is irreplaceable!!!"

"I had two procedures on July 30th. Dr. Franklin and his team were the best! This is my second doctor visit with Dr. Franklin. Last time was 2019. I will continue to be a Dr. Franklin patient."
"I had the pleasure of meeting up with Dr Franklin a couple weeks back for my 5 year colonosopy and all went well and for my last visit which was shocking to say the least but encouraging. Anyway Dr Franklin and the whole team from registration to prep to the final part of adminerstering the procedure was nothing but caring and easy going. Well done and would recommend this group of professional medical staff to any body having a colonoscopy done. The only bad part was drinking the prep once you get passed that it's all but over. So thank you Dr Franklin and team for services well reindered."

"My Nurses Were all above and beyond Excellent! They Deserve a huge Raise $$! You make your Drs 🌞 shine."
"It was actually MUCH better than the first one that I had almost 11 years ago at Lackland AFB. I think that the Prep I had to do the day before would have been much better as well, if I had only noticed sooner that I was supposed to start it at 10 am instead of in the evening, like I did for the one almost 11 years ago. I basically had to guzzle over a gallon of that funky solution in order to get it all down before midnight, but I did it!!! Now I'm just hoping and praying that the 2 small polyps they removed will come back cancer-free. 🙏"

"My first time as a patient seeing PA Martinez. I got into to see her pretty quick. She is very friendly and listens to you. The staff was very friendly as well. I would highly recommend this office."
"The visit with PA was great. She was kind , patient and understanding. However the MA who escorted me in was unkind . The BP electric cuff required two attempts and hurt me. The readings were high. She said would retake. She did not attempt to remove cuff, so I took off and attempted to place on other arm. She grabbed it from me. I responded. " you don't need to do that" she responded " you didn't needed to pull off your cuff" I am a nurse. I knew how to handle the cuff. In addition, my sister had passed away several days earlier. I did not needbany further confrontation. Thus, I remained quiet not making eye contact during the history review. I did make the PA aware as well. Ty."
"Great service"
"Dr. Otero is the best! The team was amazing and made my procedure less stressful. Thank you"
"I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Belinda Ramirez, and the entire experience was excellent. From the initial consultation to the follow-up, Dr. Ramirez was both accurate and incredibly nice, ensuring that I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the process. The procedure itself ran smoothly and efficiently, demonstrating her expertise and professionalism. Her office staff also deserves high praise.

"Dr. Joseph E. Johnson IV and his staff did an excellent job. However, the intake nurse didn't know how to do a proper IV. It took 7 times before the IV was finally in my arm. Then it was so painful, I could hardly stand it. This left bruises on my arm and hand. The anesthesiologist with Dr. Johnson in the procedure room was kind enough to redo the IV and he did an excellent job. After that everything went well. They even checked up on me the next day to see how I was doing. If you need to have a colonoscopy I highly recommend Dr. Johnson."
"One of the best experiences I’ve had with a procedure. I was in and out of there with no problem."
"Dr. Ayyar was knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with me at my appointment. His bed side manner is wonderful. He’s easy to talk to and he’s a great listener. Staff is also friendly and helpful!"

"I recently had an appointment with Dr. Jeff Bullock a couple of weeks ago. I was dealing with an issue in my esophagus as a result of longtime GERD. Upon walking into the medical office I was immediately welcomed in by a professional front desk staff. After a brief wait I was called back to meet Dr. Bullock. I explained my situation and he asked me some questions about other potential symptoms. I also advised Dr. Bullock of my concerns of taking proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s) for so many years and the reported potential side effects. He immediately put my fears at ease as he presented me with the latest clinical research findings and how the reported claims were simply not true and why. He then slowly explained the cause of my issue, a proposed treatment plan and he also recommended I try a new to me prescription medicine and an over the counter product, and how he thought it should work better for me. After just a couple of days my symptoms subsided and I feel so much better both physically and mentally knowing I am now in such good hands with Dr Bullock. It can me difficult for any of us to try new doctors and practices, but this was definitely the best move for me and I suspect anyone that Dr. Bullock treats. A true professional that’s at the top of his field in Gastrointestinal medicine."

The staff members from the front desk to the recovery room were great. Very friendly, caring and compassionate. We were called prior to the procedures to pay our portion of the facility bill. It was nice to have that all taken care of before hand. No one looks forward to this procedure, but the folks at San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates do their best to make it a positive experience. I would definitely recommend S.A.G.A. for all of your gastro needs."

"I come to this SAGA Westover hills location regularly. Dr Kevin Franklin diagnosed my idiopathic Gastroparesis pretty quickly 2 years ago. I had to wait a couple months to be seen, but I was dealing with my GI issues for almost 2 years so a couple months wait was worth it when I finally had an answer. With just one important question he narrowed down my differential diagnosis. He ordered a endoscopy (within weeks) which confirmed my Gastroparesis. With metoclopramide and omeprazole my symptoms improved, as well as my quality of life. After my diagnosis, maybe about 8 months later, I was having upper right quadrant abdominal pain and was seen at my PCP, who ordered a CT and found nothing remarkable. I then scheduled an appointment with Dr Franklins PA, Jennifer Martinez, and she told me my symptoms were typical for gallbladder disease, and she ordered a CCK imaging test, which confirmed my gallbladder functioning at 3%. She then recommended me for a cholecystectomy with Dr Vargas. I was scheduled for surgery about 4 months after my initial symptom onset. I have since been so much better. She sees me at regular follow ups and put me on a prescription probiotic which has helped all of my GI symptoms as well. I am so glad I found this practice and the medical team that has helped me tremendously. The front desk is always so kind and professional as well. I’ve never had an issue here, just typical wait times for a doctors office, nothing too crazy. I’ve never waited hours to be seen or anything."
"A Smooth Experience with Professional Care at San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates From the moment I arrived at my doctor's office for my colonoscopy, I was greeted by a team of individuals whose professionalism shone brightly. The check-in process was not only smooth but also reassuring, setting a calm tone for the procedure ahead. Each staff member I encountered displayed a commendable work ethic, ensuring that every step of the process ran like clockwork. Their efficiency and kindness did not go unnoticed, and it was these qualities that left a lasting impression on me. I am genuinely impressed by the office team's level of care and attention to detail. It's clear that patient comfort and satisfaction are their top priorities, and they deserve high praise. Thank you Mr. Joseph E. Johnson IV, M. D. Sincerely, Isaac A. Richards"

The staff at the center where the procedure was performed were efficient and friendly. I’ve had this performed procedure many times before and I have never had this procedure completed so fast. My appointment was scheduled at 11:00 am and I was out at 11:45 am. Dr. Ayyar was very friendly and professional, he explained the findings of the procedure very well. I definitely recommend Dr. Ayyar."
"Dr. Ayyar performed a colonoscopy procedure recently. It was my first procedure of this type and I was pretty nervous heading into it. The whole team did a great job of educating me on what to expect prior to the appointment. On the day of the appointment the staff did a great job of calming me and the process from check-in to recovery was excellent. Dr. Ayyar was thorough in his work and the procedure was quick and painless. The follow up was excellent also. I’ll definitely use Dr. Ayyar again due to his performance and professionalism."

"From the scheduling staff to the surgical staff, I was treated as a person and not a number. All were concerned about me and my needs and wants. Surgical staff were very compassionate and professional. Dr Ayyar is a true professional and has a great bedside manner. The entire process made a lousy procedure truly bearable"
"Was not looking forward to the dreaded colonoscopy. Who does? But Dr. Ayyar was fantastic! He spent time with me explaining the procedure and answered questions I had. Check-in was very easy and efficient. The nurses were very nice and discussed the steps of the procedure and advised who the other medical team members were that were assigned to me. The anesthesiologist was very nice too. Staff contacts whomever you have designated to advise of the beginning of the procedure and when you are done so you can be picked up within 30 minutes. Very streamlined process. The facility was very clean. Hospital bed comfy. I recommend Dr. Ayyar, his team members and Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio."

You are pampered and cared for from the moment you step through their doors. Everything is about YOU, your comfort, your privacy, your overall well being. Before your procedure and after your procedure, anytime you have a question they take the time to provide you answers. The patience the nurses have is truly incredible. My neighbor must have asked his nurse at least eight times how to put on the two surgery gowns and he still put them on wrong. She just exclaimed “it happens all the time” and once again explained how to properly put on his two gowns. I only had to ask once, just to make certain I was wearing them properly…funny memory. After the procedure, Dr. Flores came to visit to explain his findings, what he had to do, plus what to expect next. You are finally rolled out in a “limo” wheelchair, for safety purposes due to the lingering anesthesia. My ride showed up, I has handheld to the door and helped into my chariot, being pampered all the way. So this is what it feels like to be Royalty…."
