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.
The staff is always friendly and personable. Dr. Taheri is a great doctor. He cares.
The whole experience went really well. The appointment was set and my pre session medication was mailed to my home. I was able to follow the directions easily and arrived at the clinic early ready to get it over with. The staff was very efficient and helpful with filling out the remaining forms I needed. 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. They administered the anesthesia and I was out on the way home in less than an hour. I don't know if they all go like this but my entire procedure went great.
Always very professional and informative.

An optimal way to detect and prevent cancer is to undergo a colonoscopy before cancer grows to a critical stage. Over 95 percent of precancerous polyps are identified during a colonoscopy and are removed during the procedure. Tissue samples from the polyps are sent to pathology to determine any signs of cancer. A colonoscopy is a preventative measure that safeguards your GI health by eliminating any polyps before they progress to a severe stage. A colonoscopy is a gold standard for both the prevention and detection of colorectal cancer.
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are among the most common types of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). Many Americans are affected, with around 1.6 million currently impacted by these diseases. IBD is a chronic condition that’s typically diagnosed in patients before the age of 35. As a chronic condition, it can be treated but not completely cured.
