A colonoscopy scheduled to identify any problems I might have. Glad it's this year! Thank you doctor and staff. Everyone answered all my concerns and questions. I've been a patient for at least 20 years, recommend."
"The only real problem was I was told we needed a clearance from my cardiologist, when I called his office to try and expedite the process, I was told they had already sent it, this made me look bad to the cardiologist staff, thank you for that, as it had already been sent! I am really beginning to think WellMed needs to do something to keep their records straight, when I saw Dr. Ramirez before the procedure she was unaware for some reason the clearance had already been sent and received by her office, before I even saw her, how bad the record keeping must be in her office that she was unaware of this, it us a sad state of affairs to say the least, after that was cleared up everything went smoothly but records are very important to keep straight I am beginning to wonder if any WellMed Clinic has that ability."
"San Antonio Gastroenterology this office was proficient with customer service friendly informative and the PA Moreno was insightful giving me information that I didn't have before making me feel at ease I would recommend this office to anyone that needs a GI doctor"

"I was taken into a room soon after signing in for my procedure and treated by a kind and caring staff who explained very well details of the procedure. After saying I understood, I was soon put on a rolling clean bed and taken to a pre preparation room where my vitals and an IV was put in. The outstanding staff of nurses explained the procedure again to me.. Then after undressing and putting on the procedure gowns I was taken to the procedure room to be sedated. Then Dr. Johnson came in to re assure me that I will be fine and told me what he was going to do. Then the sedative Dr. put me to sleep and all I remember is the nurse waking me up after the colonoscopy procedure was done and rolled me on the bed back to the pre procedure room. Gave me and my wife a very well procedure report and some details of what Dr. Johnson found and did. And instructed me when I was to return for a follow up appointment with Dr. Johnson. Then after getting dressed I was kindly wheelchair led to the entrance where we awaited for my wife to bring our car around to pick me up. Then at my follow up appointment Dr. Johnson was kind and courteous and professional in explaining his findings and the results of lab tests and gave me some good advise on how to keep from getting cancer. I find that they all treated me with caring, compassionate and professional medical care. And I have no ill effect after the procedure. Thank you Dr. Johnson and your entire staff for your courtesy and professional treatment."
"Dr. Flores was very friendly and genuinely cares about your health. He was complete in his diagnosis and communicated in layman's terms so the patient could clearly understand. I would highly recommend his professional medical care."

"The doctor actually listened to me, granted it was our first ever contact. My only complaint is the policy post procedure. I was not allowed to take a cab home because someone needed to sign for me. My family is gone and my friends are dead so I was punished. Only by way of the humanity in my supervisor was I able to receive care cuz he got me home. If a bar can send a drunk home in a cab why not me? I guess your "liability" is more important than my life?! If I would have had cancer id have been denied the opportunity to find out because I didn't have anyone to sign for me! If you're alone to and this could affect you or someone you know, like this comment."

I have a lot of doubts if I want to have the procedure or not, I finally decided to go for it. I was treating with a lot of respect and kindness since the first appointment. I was very nervous about the sedation but once the nurse explained me everything I was so calm and ready. Dr. Flores and the anesthesiologist asked me if I have any questions, I say no , they put the sedation I past out and woke up in no time and they were done!!! Dr. Flores came in and explain me the results and I was ready to go home. Just like that!!! Sorry for the long review but I want to encourage people to have the colonoscopy if you need it or as part of prevention. Is a very easy and almost 0 side effects, also is 100 % cover by most health insurance. Thank you Dr. Flores and all stuff members"
"Dr. Flores has the best "bed side manner" in San Antonio. Kind and patient, he really cares for his patients. You will not find a better gastroenterologist . Period."
"Dr. Bullock has been my gastro for some time. He is straightforward and runs a tight ship. He tries hard to stay on time and my experiences with him have always been positive. He knows his business but doesn't spend a lot of time proving that to you; he just demonstrates by what he does. The office staff is likewise helpful and truly seems to care about the patients. I recommend Dr. Bulllock and his practice without reservation."

"Procedure, Follow Up went smoothly. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Only complaint is with prescription being called into pharmacy.

Days later come to find out it was filled by my pharmacy at Lackland."

"Dr. Guerra is, if not a legend, a highly respected and trusted presence in the SA community. It is a gift when a very necessary procedure--in my recent case, two, a colonoscopy and endoscopy--is accomplished with the help of a calm, efficient and friendly staff, and Dr. Guerra's kind and competent manner."
"Dr Antonio Serna is a wonderful doctor, who takes the time to listen, talk about and explain issues, and is genuinely concerned about how this patient feels. Also, in performing the annual examination of my upper and lower gastrointestinal system, he is very thorough. I highly recommend him if you need a gastrointestinal specialist!"
"Dr Ernesto Guerra always treats me as if l were the only patient that matters. He remembers what happened last time and is interested in what will happen later. He makes me feel important."

Thank you Ms. Guzman! I want to recognize too, Harley, Medical Assistant to Dr. Johnson and Cynthia Guzman, who is so nice, helpful and patient at every visit and always returns my calls when I have additional concerns or questions. Thank you Harley! Want to also thank Dr. Johnson's Receptionist at his Sonterro office, Monce, for helping us over 2 days after my last office visit, to find my wife's cell phone that she accidentally left in the building. Monce cared enough to make some calls and helping us ultimately meet up with the Building Maid (thank you!), who was trying to find us too. What a Blessing! Thank you Monce! Thank you ALL at San Antonio Gastroenterology Sonterra Blvd for your care, niceness and patience over this last year and my continuing care for peace of mind all is good."
"Everyone was very nice and readily available to answer my questions. The day of the surgeryeverone was very conscientious of not hurting areas on my body that were bruised due to a car accidentzi highly recommend Dr Ernesto Guerra, his asistant PA, , Dr Moore, and his entirr staff."
"Dr Guerra is an amazing Dr. he explains everything he has done and is gonna do detailing everything. I would recommend him as a Gastroenterologist to anyone looking for the best."
"I've been coming here for the past couple of years. The doctors here are very professional and provide excellent care. I would recommend this facility."
"Just make sure you arrive early for your appointments in case they're running behind at the front desk. I got there one day on time and waited 30 minutes in line and then when I got to the front desk I was told the doctor had already gone to another location! I was not happy! Also if you get blood work done there make sure that they give you your results within 3 days. If not, make sure that you call and ask for them! I had very low potassium and they called in medication for that but no one said anything and I ended up in the hospital for 3 days! Needless to say, that will not be happening again! If you have inflammatory bowel disease apparently Jeff Bullock is the top in his field. I see Dr Lori Lee. She's very nice."
"Love to be able to see and talk to you thank you for calling so you know I have a pacemaker and you can share information with my heart doctor thank you for caring about your patients god bless"
"Dr. Guerra , and all his employees are amazingly very respectfully and alert if it weren't for Dr. Guerra calling me to go to the emergency cause my blood counts were very low i don't know what could have happened that day that's why i thank Dr. Guerra for calling me that Tuesday morning telling me to go now to emergency, I also want to thank all the Doctors and employees for being very supportive and for giving me blood and for taking care of me at St Luke's hospital, thank you everyone for your support and for taking care of me for 5 days Leticia Hernandez i recommend Dr. Guerra jr Ernesto MD , and alot of other Doctors at St Luke's hospital . employees i don't remember names but they were all very supportive and took good care of me while my stay there Thank you everybody for everything"
"Dr. Franklin is outstanding! He sat directly across from me without a laptop in front of him, and REALLY listened to me. Dr. Franklin’s demeanor is calm and reassuring. He helped me feel less anxious about the medical issues that I’m dealing with, and that he will help me find a way to manage it all. I feel beyond blessed to have become one of his patients. A true gem!"
"Dr Eddie Flores has been my Gastroenterologist since 2002. I had cancer type polyps. He has taken care of me for all these years. He is patient and answers all questions in a way that helps us calm down. I recommend him highly."
"All staff very professional , patience. Dr. Flores is the best. Great bedside manners. Post procedures explains everything with images and you're completely understandable of your condition."
"Such a caring doctor that listens to your concerns and gives great guidance of care. My father, my daughter and my friend are all patients and love him."
"This is the third time I have had to come here and I am always impressed by the friendliness and professional of the staff. Everyone seems to know exactly what they are doing and Dr Guerra does a great job and makes you feel like you wellbeing is of the up most of importance. I am definitely not looking forward to my 5yr return appointment but at least I know I will be surrounded by caring people. Thank you"
"I truly do appreciate the service that you all gave me I actually enjoyed it very much I thought it was awesome the only problem I've had is trying to pay my copay"
"Dr. Flores has been recommended to me by two of my other specialists as the GI doctor that will get to the bottom of GI issues that I’ve been struggling with. I had been seeing another GI doctor but felt that I needed to have a second opinion about an acute issue that I was experiencing. Had a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Flores and he provided the insight I needed. He restored my confidence. I am wanting to put my GI care in his capable hands."
"I wouldn't go anywhere else. I trust my doctor he made feel I was in good hands very professional and informative....as for all the nurses there they made me very comfortable and very thorough with my questions and with their answers.....I appreciate all their kindness and patience...thankyou so much. Mrs I Avila."
"Dr. Guerra has been such a joy to work with in regards to my father's health. He puts my father at ease (which is hard to do), takes the time to listen and explain things. It's a shame when the office staff at the Euclid l9cation reflects poorly on him (and I'm sure the other dr's at this particular location as well). Since June 20,2023, I have called 8 times (today's the 8th of August) first, trying to get results, then leaving Dr. Guerra messages for his advisement, and now that all else has failed, trying to schedule an appointment to see just about anyone at this point. Regardless of the reason or situation, no one EVER calls back. The messages I leave does include my father's info and phone # so that cannot be used as an excuse. I understand there are other patients and do not expect any type of priority but come on, almost 2 months of calling and no response?!? Will strongly have to consider being referred to another GI Dr outside this group, which is a shame cause we really love Dr. Guerra."
"Dr. Bullock is the best. Seen him for treatment for the 3rd time now over 12 years. Excellent for treatment. Excellent prep staff. The only thing that changed is his gray hair."
"Dr.Franklin has helped restore my faith in the medical profession.... very kind & caring. Explains things very thoroughly in easy to understand way !!!!!"
"I'm glad that Dr. Ramirez is my gastroenterologist. I feel she is always looking out for my health. She is a very competent medical doctor, and I trust her judgment about my health. I hope she doesn't retire for a long time."
"No complaints with Dr Bullock...slept thru the whole thing thankfully. Found it odd the written guidance for entering the clinic still required a face mask, and my spouse had to wait in the parking lot--neither were correct. They need to review what they are sending out to the patients coming to that clinic...stressful enough getting the procedure and this misinformation only made to (unnecessary) worse. I will keep using Dr. Bullock--just hope the clinic gets beyond their false COVID protocols info."
"I have been a patient of Dr Jeff Bullock for many years and I have to say that I never had a bad experience with him or anyone else in his office He has the best staff with him and the most amazing friendliness atmosphere ‼️They never keep me waiting for my procedure Always very prompt and very accurate I recomend Dr Jeff Bullock to anyone who has a colonoscopy coming up ‼️👍🏻"
"The whole experience was handled very efficiently and professionally. Everyone from the office staff to the nurses were friendly and explained the procedures and told me what to expect every step of the way. The Doctor was friendly and I felt very confident in his abilities. The process was painless and over quickly."
"Dr. Alapati is an excellent gastroenterologist! He is extremely knowledgeable, and correctly diagnosed my husband's condition while in the the ICU. I give credit to Dr. Alapati, and praise to God for saving my husband's life! I consider myself privileged to be among his patients."
"I haven’t seen her Nor spoken with her in a long awhile, Because I have an autoimmune illness that has no cure,, He is very caring, Kind, & Cares about my health, Well-being, & He’s an amazing doctor, You don’t find too many With This much Kindness, & Bed-Side Manners, Not in The Doctor field, So I believe I am blessed to have found such a caring Specialist, Because I have Several of them, & He is one of my favorite, Few That Always explains somethings That I May Not understand, Or When something Happens that’s new, Or Different symptoms, All I have to do is ask Him, & He makes Sir to explain what’s going on with me, That makes all the Difference in the World, When Your ill, sick, & You Don’t feel good, don’t understand a lot of things that are wrong, happening when doctors are doing things, But They Aren’t communicating with You, It Can Be Very Scary, However, I feel Safe with Him, As Many times as He has placed me to sleep under anesthesia, So I give him 5 Stars, He is Very King A Specialist !!!!"
"The office was very well organized and I was in and out in less than 1 1/2 hours from check in to leaving. Dr. Ayyar was very nice and explained what was happening before as well as discussing results afterward. I highly recommend this practice!"
"Very efficient and easy going experience. And doctor was very attentive the moment I woke up from recover to explain the procedure. Even handed me printed pictures and report. Very impressive"
"Love this doctor. He’s help me so much by diagnosing my problem. Nine years of other doctors that could not tell me what was wrong. He knew right away: Thank you!"
"I took a shot in the dark with Dr Ayyar and I really love him. I did not have a referral to him and had never heard of him and he was great. He came and explained to me what my issue is in detail. I KNOW I had this 15 years ago at my last colonoscopy and it was not discussed with me at all. Dr Ayyar and ALL of the staff at GCOFSA were awesome!"
"The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and very patient. The doctor was so understanding. He spoke to my grandma like a person and he didn't rush. He listened and responded."
"The military doctors had dismissed my symptoms and never tested with imaging. Dr Guerra preformed an upper endoscopy; identified the problem and is now treating."
"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."
"I was treated with respect and kindness, everything was explained to me in detail. I was treated very well, and I would very much recommend Dr. Flores to all people that need service that Dr. Flores offers."
"Fast and friendly staff. I was explained what steps and procedures were going to be performed in a manner that was not confusing. I am very pleased to be with a professional provider and staff. Dr Bullock is by far the best Dr I've had for my condition. Thank you."
"This Dr is very informative and has great bedside manners.He knew everything about my history when doing my procedure and his staff always calls with results. I highly recommend Dr bullock."
