"I really enjoyed talking to Dr. Flores. He was very helpful and explained why I we need to have an colonoscopy. I’m on blood thinners and he got my cardiologist info. I truly recommend him. Even the recipient was very nice on the phone."
"The doctor is good… you spend more time waiting for him than the visit itself though.. but he will talk to you about your concerns and answers your questions…. But staff need to ask you when you would like to come back instead of making an appointment for you and then needing to reschedule the appointment because the time and date doesn’t work for you… they need to remember that people do work and some have hard times taking time off…another thing it is very very hard to get ahold of someone at the office when you call in as well. They also will tell you they will mail out the prep information for the colonoscopy to you in the mail and you never get it so you need to call the office to get the information over the phone of what needs to be done, or Google the information online"
"Let's face it: Colonoscopies are not most people's favorite thing to prepare for. Many people avoid the experience and "hope" nothing bad will happen. That changed for me some years ago when my next door neighbor told me she was dying with colon cancer because she had refused to have colonoscopies throughout her life even though she knew colon cancer ran in her family. She died 6 weeks after telling me this in her mid 50's. Fast forward to my own life 20 years later. I have just completed my 3rd colonoscopy with Dr. Jeff Bullock. Dr. Bullock and his team are extremely professional and caring in providing their services and making patients feel completely comfortable and cared for throughout the process. The best part of all is that the entire process from check-in to check-out was FAST and painless. I highly recommend Dr. Bullock and the entire Gastroenterology team."
"Dr Johnson and all staff members were very friendly and if having a colonoscopy can be rated 5-star, this is the place to go! Friendly, kind and gentle doctor and staff! And Kudos for the liquid prep—so easy to get it down without gagging on the usual gallon size liquid prep. Facility was spotlessly clean! See you in 5 years!"

"I recently had a colonoscopy done but experienced a hard time with the information sent regarding my instructions that were needed to be followed prior to the procedure. The email I received had four icons to review and get my instructions. I went through these handouts and found they were mostly about other types of types of diseases one could encounter. Others had pictures about drs and staff of other offices like the one in San Antonio. Finally at the end it asked for me to join the different from a group of social networks that I don't see fit to join Never got the procedure to follow prior to my procedure."
"My experience at SAGA was better than I could have asked for. The receptionist was friendly and you could tell she likes what she does. The nursing staff was so attentive, thorough, and I didn’t feel like I was just a number that was being pushed through. Dr Flores was such a calm and reassuring voice before sedation and when I was released going over what he found. When I woke up I was shocked at how quickly it had been done. The staff let me take my time getting ready and explained my post op instructions very well. Given that a colonoscopy isn’t associated with a good experience. I must say it was the best I could have received by a very competent and reassuring staff."

They explain the procedure and talk to you during the process to make sure your are comfortable and feeling pain free. Excellent service. I am so thankful I was introduced to them."
"If anyone is in search of a Gastroenterologist... Dr. Kevin Franklin is an angel!!! I Souder with sever anxiety and had to go through stage 3 colon cancer in 2016. Dr. Franklin has been by my side and has treated me with such kindness and patience. Colonoscopies still every year and I never ever feel anxious about the procedures with him. Now the outcome is nerve-wrecking, but he is extremely gentle and always so incredibly thorough. I recommend anyone with any issues or just annual scope time, to have Dr Franklin be that experience with you. There aren't very many doctors that truly truly listen and not want rush you in and out of the office; who are personable and caring. Dr. Franklin is a gem. He has been such a blessing to me. I know just the same, anyone would be blessed by his knowledge, skill, and gift in this field. Ps. His staff from front desk to PA and nurse are fabulous!!!"

"(Translated by Google) In September 2021 I went for a routine procedure, a colonoscopy, several benign polyps were removed, and I was lucky to have wonderful care from Doctor Guerra, who made me feel safe, and gave me assertive advice; “inform my brothers that polyps are hereditary”. My older brother followed his advice and saved his life, because he was operated on time, because his polyps were already malignant, he had no symptoms... I greatly appreciate and value your excellent and human attention. Thank you Dr. Guerra (Original) En Septiembre del 2021 acudí a un procedimiento de rutina, una colonoscopia, me extirparon varios pólipos benignos, y tuve la suerte de tener una magnifica atención del Doctor Guerra, quien me hizo sentir segura, y me dió un asertivo consejo; “informar a mis hermanos que los pólipos son hereditarios”.

He’s guidance & further testing was essential in assessing & assuring that the Surgeon was successful in taking the tumor out."

The place was very clean and everyone seemed to work well together. I wish there were more doctors with the compassion that dr. OTERO has, sometimes it seems like some doctors are just there for a pay check and not the people, but dr. Otero is not like that, and I liked him very much. I would recommend him to all my friends and family. If you need a colonoscopy he's the doctor to go to. God bless him and his staff"

"My experience with Dr. Alvarez has always been very good. No matter how minor or serious your problem is. He takes the time to listen to you. And I've never seen him in a bad mood. Always comes in and greets you with a smile. And doesn't make you feel like an insurance claim. I have seen many doctors over the years and I can say with a sincere heart Dr. Alvarez is a professional,very knowledgeable, and very caring. It's a shame not all doctors could be like him. I would highly recommend Dr. Alvarez to anyone who needs a Gastroenterology doctor."

"While I've only met Dr.Otero briefly prior to a procedure, I've had a few office visits with Ms. Reygoza. While I would rather not be going to the doctor in the first place, she makes every visit as informative, pleasant, efficient, and quick as possible. I appreciate her genuine concern and patience when answering my questions to put me at ease, because most likely I'm in the office for something unpleasant or worrisome. At my most recent office appointment she took a few extra moments to offer some words of wisdom that she really didn't have to take the time to do and I don't think she knows how much I appreciate her concern."

I underwent both a colonscopy and endoscopy and was apprehensive about having them done at the same time. My worries were immediately diminished when I arrived for my procedures. Everyone I encountered from start to finish was kind, caring, and extremely efficient. I definitely recommend Dr. Otero and his staff to anyone who needs either of these procedures done."
"It’s been over ten years that I have not been able to swallow. Previous doctor diagnosed me for hiatal hernia. 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!"

"Dr. Alvarez Is very caring and understanding. He takes time to listen and genuinely cares about what you're feeling. I feel comfortable talking to him. He spends time explaining my condition and answering all of my family's questions and concerns on every visit. Other doctors never fully listened or cared. Some even interrupted me when I was explaining my symptoms...Not Dr Alvarez. He took interest and was able to diagnose and treat my ulcerative colitis.

"I wish that I could rate Dr. Johnson higher than five stars. I have been in his care for about 7 years and from day one he takes the time to understand what you are going through. He asks me questions about what it is like to have my disease when most doctors think they already know! Time and again he has made sure I know that his phone line is always open for anything I may need.

I had a high copay for the prep and he help me by giving me a sample prep, Sutab. Sutab consists of nontasting tablets and plenty of liquids. The morning of, I was treated very well by every staff member. When I was wheeled into the room for the test. The nurse greeted me then the anesthesiologist introduced himself to me and explained how I would be sedated. I must add that Dr. Guerra introduced himself to me in such a friendly way and with humor. He told me that if all went well, I would get a “5 year or 5,000 mile warranty”. I truly felt comfortable. In recovery after I dressed, Dr. Guerra came by and very kindly shared the results. Yes, I got my “5 year or 5,000 mile warranty”. The nurse wheeled me to my vehicle and she to was joking with me and was very polite. Even though I was dreading this test, I must say my experience was very good. Dr. Guerra and his staff made it a pleasant experience."

She was very concerned about the numbers for my liver and referred me to a liver specialist. It turns out that I had both liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver. She helped catch it in time for me to get a liver transplant on 5/19/2019 and I am doing well today. My primary care doctor had mentioned that my liver numbers were somewhat high but he kept saying let’s keep and I on it. I am convinced that Dr. Ramirez saved my life with her attention to detail.

"I was having some serious"heartburn" so went to my primary care physician who had me take some actions to reduce the problem. Continued symptoms prompted my primary care to order an Endoscopy with my previous Gastroenterologist but they couldn't schedule me for two months. My PCP said he would schedule one with Dr. Johnson, who he frequently recommends. Dr. Johnson was able to work me in the following week. The entire process with Dr. Johnson and his staff was great; friendly staff on the phone and in person. Dr. Johnson was very informative and friendly. I was very impressed with the entire process with Dr. Johnson."
"My experience with Dr Joseph Johnson-Gastro was excellent. his office staff followed up with me the following day after my procedure. I received a call from Dr Johnson for a Discussion and questions upon receiving the lab results. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson"
"I have used Jeff Bullock for my doctor for a couple of years. Their office runs smooth very little wait time. They are always on top to make sure that your referral (if required by your insurance company) is current and upto date. I recommend this office for your gastrointestinal needs. Thank You Jeff Bullock for having a reputable office."
"I had a condition that concerned me. Dr. Johnson was very professional and personable in diagnosing and treating it. It turned out to be much better than expected and I am very pleased and free from worry"
"I have been a patient of Dr. B.Ramirez for several years now and my experience with her, her staff, the facility and the procedure itself has always been excellent.

"Dr. Serna is an excellent Doctor and human being!!. My mother and I are pacients of this Clinic. Personally, I have had 2 cirugies under his supervision, and everything was perfect. I strongly recommend him for new pacients. Nobody is perfect, but clearly he is doing his best!!. Another big plus is that he is BILINGUAL!!!. He speaks english and spanish!. My mother feels very comfortable during her appointments because she is able to speak her language. Gracias Dr. SERNA!!"
"The staff was very professional. Dr. Kadakia listened to all my concerns, provider information on my procedure and ultimately help to Relieve me of my issues!"
"The entire staff and Dr. Kadakia were wonderful, professional, and courteous. All were extremely efficient, took personal responsibility for my comfort, and privacy. The anesthesiologist was exceptional also. The only problem was in the scheduling. I arrived a half hour early and called in to check in for my appointment. Then sat there for over two hours waiting to be taken in the clinic. I live north of New Braunfels and had to get on the road early in the I 35 traffic to make it there on time for my appointment. There was no reason for this except VERY POOR SCHEDULING. This did not match well with the GREAT service that followed. Dr. Kadakia was Super as he was the last time I saw him in 2018. Again the staff was exceptional ! Michael Hansen, Sr."
"I've been a patient of Dr. K's for approximately 12 years. My husband is a patient, my daughter has been to see him and I've referred a previous employer to him. Whenever I can, I speak of his "greatness"! He has great bedside manner and really listens to you. A 20 out of 10! 👌👍☺️😊"

We laughed and talked as if we had know each other our whole lives. Dr. Serna is an amazing doctor and I am so greatly appreciated and thankful for him. I would recommend him anytime to anyone. He is very professional and very polite as well."
"I don't fully understand all the negative reviews. Yes, bad things sometimes happen, regardless of who the doctor is. I've had many medical adventures myself, so can vouch that my experiences have been a mixed bag. I was referred to Dr. Flores after a (false) positive Cologuard test from my primary physician. I first met with Dr. Flores' Nurse Practitioner then later scheduled a colonoscopy procedure. I have been able to get in touch with office staff in a timely way (within a day or so) whenever I needed something. The office is handling many patients at a time, but I felt all staff were handling patients in a professional way. I've dealt with many doctors and realize healthcare is a busy place. Dealing with staff other than a doctor is not a big deal, as long as I am taken care of. Dr. Flores was kind and personable. He heard my concerns and talked to me about my results after I woke up from my procedure. The office kept in touch via the patient portal and text messages before, during, and after my prep and procedure. I don't have to be seen again for 10 years, barring any new problems. I will gladly have my next procedure done with Dr. Flores, as I had a positive experience."

"I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy performed by Dr. Richard Otero in the past month. It was an incredibly positive experience from start to finish after arriving at the procedure center. Everything was handled extremely efficiently, professionally and in such a kind and caring manner. I have nothing but praise for each healthcare worker that I encountered. May I add that Dr. Richard Otero is one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors I have encountered in my 74 years of life!!! I highly recommend him as an excellent doctor, plus he is a wonderfully caring individual. You are not just a “number” to Dr. Otero. He has been my gastroenterologist for the past 20 years. He has consistently provided excellent medical care while caring about me as a patient/person. I highly recommend Dr. Otero and his associates with your gastroenterology needs. You will not be disappointed!!!! Judith M. Van Natter"
"Well I got the Covid Sept 19 I believe and a family member was pregnant and had a cold we believe she had it and I was in bed sun ,mon,Tues, and we'd that's when I heard to get tested so I did and came out positive the staff has been very curtious in letting me get better and I'm 50 years old so I feel good and might think I can be out there but I don't want to take no chances in getting anyone with this covid, I can say it's a sneaker but then I do have all kinds of allergies myself!"
"Physicians are absolutely wonderful. They make you feel like family. They do not rush you out. The office staff- they need some work. I call leave message they say they will get back never get back. So I show up at office and get a bit of a run around. Told the nurse will call you back. Never called back show up again next day then I get in to see Physician. While waiting another patient comes in little upset because no one called her back. So she did what I did showed up in person to get answers. This is unacceptable. I continue to go here for the fabulous physicians/practitioners."
