"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."

"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 will be staying with Dr. Otero until he retires or until I pass away."

"I had my pre-screening colonoscopy done by Dr. Otero at Mission Trail Baptist hospital. I requested Dr.Otero through my insurance. I truly recommend him. His loves and cares for his patients. The hospital staff was great and made me feel safe. Dr Otero also serves as my husbands Doctor. God bless Dr. Petri and his staff. Greatly."

"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!"
