All the staff is ready to make you feel comfortable and put you at ease by answering all your questions. They are caring when it comes to your needs before and after procedures by making sure the preparations before and after the procedures go smooth. They tend to your needs. I would highly recommend this place where they are not only professional but caring at the same time.

Dr. Otero’s PA Ana Raygosa and staff were so professional, accurate and very caring. PA Raygosa was extremely awesome, she answered all my concern.

The staff, nurses and doctors are very polite and caring, they make you feel comfortable and at peace, they listen and they are very attentive.

The staff and doctors were amazing! I believe they truly cared about me. I would strongly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I am always treated professionally especially when running late with appointments. PA Moore is very knowledgeable and engages in conversation even when she is behind in appointments. I enjoy visits with her because she is real, truthful and doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear. Thanks!

I’ve been coming here for years. I love the staff and the Drs. They are all great and courteous.

Care is good. Staff professional and courteous. Medical staff listen attentively. Address your concerns appropriately. Would recommend SAGA for care.

The nurses were the best. And the tech that did my IV had such a good hand that I didn’t even feel it when the needle went in. They all listen to you. They’re just so kind hearted. And the Dr that did the procedure was so kind also he made me feel so relaxed. The only thing I missed was the music they used to put on back 10 years ago. I almost forgot the Dr that put me to sleep she was so sweet I thank you so very much.

Vanessa Becker, PA was very attentive to my stomach issues. She ordered several tests so that I may better understand what the problem is.

The entire clinic staff, especially the caregivers are exceptional. They are very knowledgeable and are always willing to answer any patient questions.

This team is the Best! They’re compassionate, efficient and knowledgeable! These folks are the best part of your procedure!!️ I love my Dr.

This place has literally been a factor in saving my life. So I am speechless.

Ms. Moore is always very friendly and thorough. She knows my history when she talks to me, and also asks questions. I feel that she is sincerely concerned with my digestive health. I feel very comfortable talking to her, and asking questions. Also, wait time is not long at all– in the front waiting room and the back rooms.

Staff, nurses are friendly and take the time with the patient. I have been a patient of Dr. Richard Otero and PA Ana Raygoza for years, both have treated me with respect and understanding. For that they both have my respect and appreciation!

La atención de mi DRA. ES EXCELENTE, me gusta que se preocupa por mi bienestar, salud y mi economía!!

Thank you to all the staff at San Antonio Gastroenterology for being so professional and kind and considerate. Dr. Guerra for creating an amazing team who treat each patient with compassion. You guys do a wonderful job, stay humble.

Everyone was so nice and, totally put me at ease!! Very satisfying and comfortable! Thankyou all for your kindness and patience! Y’all are the best!

Drs. are very nice. All the staff is very friendly and courtious. Had a very good experience.

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.

Was a friendly atmosphere excellent customer care service and my experience with the PA Physician Cardona was excellent also.

I would like to commend the staff at SAGEC North for their exemplary demeanor with their patients. I am a returning patient for the colonoscopy procedure with Dr. Joseph Johnson, this being my 4th procedure, performed early this morning (11-30-16). The entire staff is warm and friendly toward each patient, placing the patient at ease and made to feel welcome. Their personal interaction with the patient is very much appreciated. Dr. Joe Johnson is, in a word, wonderful, and an expert in his field. Thank you very much.
Carolyn SAGA Patient
Just a note to commend the entire staff who tended my needs last Friday morning! From my arrival time at 6:15 until my discharge at 8:35, I truly had a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly, professional, caring, considerate, and very kind! The entire facility was run like clock-work yet never did I feel like just a number!! Thank you ever so much to each and all.

Wednesday I had a colonoscopy at the Sonterra Blvd facility. The staff and facility were exceptional. Happily tell my family and friends about how well I was treated both medically and personally. It is nice to have such a fine facility and medical staff in our neighborhood.
