"My husband was referred to this specialist office by his PCP. I was a bit nervous because you always hit or miss with specialist.. this office was amazing, so clean, so kind, so fast! My husbands questions were answered, they really listened to our concerns and are getting to the bottom of his issues! I’m very happy he is a patient here and I’m confident his care is their first priority!"
"Dr Guerra shows that he cares about his patients. From Checking in to being discharged, The Staff were caring, friendly, informative. The Staff Is AMAZING."
"Had an endoscopy done. The process and procedure went very smooth. Everyone from the intake to those in the procedural room were very friendly and accommodating."
"I had to wait 6 weeks to see Dr. FLORES, but time went by quickly. I arrived at 12 for a 12:15 and it was no waiting. Appointment on time. Like that! Great consultation with the doctor. 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."
"Staff is always very helpful. Dr Flores is wonderful, always very easy to talk to. He explains everything to you, ready to answer any questions. This is a Dr we can all appreciate."
"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"
"After visiting the emergency room and receiving a diagnosis of Dysphasia, I was promptly seen in their offices within 2 days and they scheduled an endoscopy and dilation to help my condition. I am so pleased with their care and service. Special thank you to Dr Alvarez."
"Dr Alvarez is awesome. I’ve been his patient since 2019. He also had visited me at St Luke’s even prior to 2019. He’s observed all the progress I’ve made. He is really concerned regarding my GI health issues since I’ve had as (pediatric) a baby. He’s more than an awesome Gastro physician. I consider him a friend. 💙"
"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."
"Been trying to get my procedure for 3 years. VA who told me I need to get, keep putting off. Medicare would send out request but then procedure would get cancelled. Dr Franklin took 30 min appt then scheduled and executed procedure the same week. Since I left the military, I have never had a more caring, talented, patient orientated Doctor and Team. God bless Dr Franklin and his Team. Rating Star is not good enough. Is by far is the best I have ever had."

"Doctor Ramirez is a gem. Excellent doctor that communicates with her patients very well. I Had a little issues with billing but was resolved after a couple of Month. I Would recommend Dr. Ramirez without hesitation. She is very thorough."
"Dr. Guerra made mom mom feel comfortable and explained things thoroughly. He spoke both english and spanish and was not in a hurry. He seemed to genuinely care. Appreciate his professionalism and caring demeanor."
"My appointment with Dr.Serna was very good.But l had to wait long before l could be seen. I know he was very busy.But l really didn't mind waiting.I give him a rating of (5) He is a very excellent 💯 doctor"
"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."
"Reception staff kind and inviting. PA also kind. Dr. Franklin, Professional, Respectful, knowledgeable, kind, explains in detail, never rushes you, answers any questions you may have. Has concern for your overall health."
"I want to give a shout out to Dr. Flores and the stuff members to the gastro clinic located on medical center. I went in for a colonoscopy today. I have more than excellent experience. 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."
"Dr Flores Is a professional that explains everything so I can understand. Knows my situation and knows what is the best path forward for me. Very down to earth and approachable"
"The staff and all the personnel were very courteous and helpful since the time I arrived. They explained everything to me before my procedure. And Doctor Guerra was very welcoming and professional. Would highly recommend your facility to anyone"
