"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."

Dr. Otero is at the top of the list. We feel so blessed that he is taking care of our health matters."

"I very rarely give 5 star ratings because there is almost always something to critique. However, when I think about my first visit for my procedure and my follow up, , there is not anything I can think of to detract from my experiences there.. The staff were professional, respectful, direct and polite. As nervous as I was, each of them had a calming demeanor that made me feel as if they saw me as a person and not just number 7 of 9 needing to be processed. They clearly explained the procedure, why they were asking about any medical issues and how it could affect the procedure among other things. As for Dr. OTERO... his bedside manner is tops. He was very cordial. His humor and confidence in what he was doing made me less nervous. The whole experience was very good. My follow-up appointment was also pleasant because the PA who spoke with me was also very patient. Though there are other patients to tend to, I never felt as if I was being rushed along. And that made me feel "seen" not just seen."

"I love Dr Otero I have been going to him for years. He's compassionate he always listens to me as I explain to him what problems I'm having and he doesn't make me feel like I'm taking up his time. He always explains what he thinks is going on with me and he makes sure I understand everything especially since I'm deaf in my left ear and have trouble hearing out of my right ear also I read lip's so he speaks where I can read his lips without any trouble. I will be staying with Dr. Otero until he retires or until I pass away."

I had three consecutive procedures with this same doctor dilating my oesophagus over the years but I was frustrated with not being able to swallow and sometimes with deadly choking episodes. My current primary care physician recommended Dr Otero to me. Dr. Otero assured me that I should be able to swallow normally again after my procedure. He was so kind and I quite appreciate his encouraging words. I am swallowing again!. Thanks to Dr. Otero. I will recommend him to the world."

"Dr. Otero was very kind and made me feel incredibly at ease. This was my 1st colonoscopy and it had already been rescheduled from last year. I was very nervous about what to expect and even more anxious after a hiccup in some paperwork jepordized my procedure that day. He came personally and introduced himself and assured me they would get it worked out and I would indeed be able to go through with the procedure. Everything went smoothly from that point on and I really appreciated his bedside manner before, during, and after...his, and all the rest of the staff at the downtown location. They were all great!"

"I will never never change to any other doctor. From the first time to my last visit Dr.Otero has never changed his bedside manner. I get a through visit, he answers all my questions, and also shares with all my diagnostic reports with all my other doctors. He communicates very well with all my other doctors. For me there is no other gastrointestinal doctor like DR. OTERO. I have been seeing him for over 27 years. I WILL NEVER CHANGE TO ANY OTHER DOCTOR. I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ALL MY FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS. WONDERFUL, CARING, CONSIDERANT, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ABOVE ALL CHRISTIAN."

"He has been my Doctor for 11 years now and has always helped me out when I needed him. He has preformed at least 15 procedures on me, and both Dr. Otero and his Staff have always done a great job. I trust Dr. Otero so much, That I recommended him to my Mother; when she needed a gastroenterologist. She has been his patient for one year now. Dr. Otero really cares about his patients, as has always been caring when I needed to tell him about personal things. He always has a smile on his face and makes me feel at ease, whenever I see him before a procedure. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Otero and how I feel about him. He is the best there is."

"I am a patient of Dr. Richard L. Otero, M. D. And I have been a patient of his for about six years now and all of my experiences have been great from the moment I enter his clinic the staff are very helpful and friendly. You greated with warm smile. I never had to wait for long to be seen. Dr. Otero knows how to make you feel that your health is very important to him. And he a good listener, and assures you that he's going to do everything that it takes to address your needs. And he and the team that works with him are so cheerful, when I went to have my procedure done, I felt reassured that I was in good hands, im not one of the best patient to get along with, but I must say. I give Dr. Otero and his staff 10 (STARS) if i could. Yes would refer him to anyone i know. I would like to thank you Dr Otero 😊 because I'm feeling much better know my health is in your hands. GOD Bless you and your staff 🙏."

"Dr. Otero is an awesome Doctor. He's very knowledgeable, friendly and is very prompt. His office downtown is very efficiently ran with a very polite staff. His office at Mission Trails is quit the opposite, I had a 10:30 appointments and I sat for two hours before being seen, once I got in the room I didn't even get an apology until I made a comment about the wait. So I give the staff at that location one star!"
