"A wall sign in rear waiting room says no electronic devices so I didn't take my cell phone back with me and wasn't able to communicate with my husband. Staff was too busy to relay my status in recovery and when my husband asked he was told to just wait. She wasn't rude just not helpful."
"I love this doctor. He answered all of my questions and going to investigate what I have going on with my oesophagus. I would recommend this to anyone in my family."
"Everyone was great,,,receptionist very helpful, Ken checked me/got IV in 1 stick 😊, Aaron took me to the procedure room, Crystal was there and remembered me from EGD to help set up scopes. Tom, anesthesia, was great with anesthesia/worke up right at end so fast recovery,, perfect. Annie was great in recovery. Bess was there too from my EGD. Sorry did not meet man working on scopes but thank you for working with scopes and computers. Sorry they were acting up and had to be rebooted. Thanks to all the team, was great from start to finish. And, of course, Dr. Malllkarjun was wonderful."
"Dr. Ramirez is the epitome of medical excellence and professionalism. She has performed multiple colonoscopy procedures on me with the utmost of care, precision, and skill. I trust her expertise implicitly. In addition, her office visits are comprehensive and thorough.

I do appreciate everything she has done for me."

He is kind, you can tell him anything and he listens, he makes you feel comfortable and he is very very good at making you feel at ease. His staff is also very very kind, and always seem to be able to make me feel as if I am a member of their family. I would highly recommend him, especially to those with a little anxiety! He is very soft spoken and CALM and he will always take very good care of you."
"This clinic of a group of gastroenterologists is a well run operation. All of the staff are genuinely concerned with the patients, and are always helpful and available."
"Dr. Flores has been recommended to me by two of my other specialists as the GI doctor that will get to the bottom of my GI issues. My husband recently paid a visit to Dr. Flores. My husband, who complains more than I do about dismissive health providers, was impressed with Dr. Flores. I remembered Dr. Flores from having transcribed his dictation while employed by Christus Santa Rosa. He remembered me as well! Dr. Flores is one of the best physicians in his field. He’s personable and professional at the same time. He is not dismissive of a patient’s presenting issues. My husband, who’s hard to please, loves his new doctor. Now, if I could be forgiven for past mistakes, at a time I was panicky, I would love for Dr. Flores to be my GI Specialist as well! He currently also treats my older brother and younger sister. I would love to be included."
"Dr Flores walked into the prep room and spoke to me about my procedure. Asked if I had any questions. He made me feel at ease. After the procedure he spoke to me about the results. I felt extremely comfortable with him. I would highly recommend him."
"Dr Ernesto Guerra, had done two different procedures on me and one on my husband. We love Dr Guerra, he is very nice, friendly and very professional. Lorraine Martinez"
"The office staff is great. Dr.Franklin is also great. His very informative and very funny. I would recommend this doctor to everyone. I would also recommend his staff."

"Dr. Guerra is an awesome doctor and a fabulous human being. He took care of my significant other in 2004 and showed so much concern and compassion to him. I became his patient and had a colonoscopy with him every year until this year. He has remained kind, sweet, and always speaks to you after the test. Since I’m turning 80 in January he said we wouldn’t be meeting yearly. I told him I may have to make an appointment to just see just to see his handsome face. He laughed."
"Praise God! Endoscopy & Colonoscopy went well. Dr, Guerra @ SAGA & his team are amazing. Dr. Guerra has been my doctor since the 90’s, only as needed. His bedside manner is the same! Gracious, kind, respectful, passionate about his work, compassionate for his patients & positive in giving the best care! So thankful for his practice! May God continue blessing him & his staff!"
"He’s got a great personality and he’s very knowledgeable about his job. You can tell that he is also very concerned about the patient’s well-being. He is going to keep working it until he finds out what’s causing the problem. I wish there was more doctors like him."
"Dr. Alvarez is very kind, and his attitude fosters an atmosphere of trust. Given the type of procedure, this is essential. He was precise and correct in performing the colonoscopy. I did not suffer from any pain or discomfort afterwards. Thank you Dr. Alvarez for your first words when I woke up, which were… “You do not have cancer”… words that brightened my awakening. He is the man👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻"
"The staff is very friendly and professional. Dr otero is a very experienced doctor, and I have been here several times in which he has done great. I have no complaints about any services here. Thanks"

"Everyone greets you with a smile. Staff is very patient. Dr. Serna is very thorough as he listens to you. He also asks questions that help to identify symptoms. Facility is nice as well."
"I love this and have been coming for Monte's great food even since they were at a previous location. A highlight of my vacation I always look forward to and back on. Saying hi to Monte is always a sweet part of the experience Parking: $3 per hour"
"The doctor asked me a lot of questions and they got more specific about the questions. He listened to all my concerns based on the notes I seen on the app after the appointment he got it all right, it set me up for some MRIs so that we can get to the root source of my problem. The Doctor and staff are very professional and I strongly recommend Dr.Aayers."
"I had a routine colonoscopy which went very well. Never a fun thing, the helpfulness of the staff and doctors made the experience as positive as it could be. I would recommend them."
"Having to see a GI is a new milestone in my adult life and Dr. Bullock made it an easy and reassuring process! I'm the type of patient who will ask a 100+ questions and he answered anything I threw his way. On the day of my procedure, I oddly didn't feel as nervous as I probably should have because I felt comfortable and like I was in good hands. Dr. Bullock, and the staff at the GI Alliance, were all so kind and respectful. While I can't say the procedure was great (who would say they loved a colonoscopy), the care I received was absolutely wonderful! I'd highly recommend Dr. Bullock and his team to anyone needing a GI specialist."
"I was referred to Dr Guerra by a USAF colleague in 1985-1987 and have been his patient for over thirty years. I referred many other colleagues and friends to him over the years with great confidence. His office is well-managed, staff helpful, and strive for perfection. Dr Guerra is an exceptional doctor simply the "best-of-the best."He is very ethical, professional, respectful, and truly cares about his patients. He is assertive and educates his patients about what they can do to improve their health. His sincerity, patience, and kindness ensure patients trust, confidence, and awareness one is receiving the best care. I cannot say enough good about Dr Guerra and I very strongly recommend him to whoever may be so fortunate to read this post- he is irreplaceable!!!"

"I had two procedures on July 30th. Dr. Franklin and his team were the best! This is my second doctor visit with Dr. Franklin. Last time was 2019. I will continue to be a Dr. Franklin patient."
"I had the pleasure of meeting up with Dr Franklin a couple weeks back for my 5 year colonosopy and all went well and for my last visit which was shocking to say the least but encouraging. Anyway Dr Franklin and the whole team from registration to prep to the final part of adminerstering the procedure was nothing but caring and easy going. Well done and would recommend this group of professional medical staff to any body having a colonoscopy done. The only bad part was drinking the prep once you get passed that it's all but over. So thank you Dr Franklin and team for services well reindered."
"THE MEXICAN FOOD IS AWESOME , PRICES ARE REASONABLE HOWEVER THE GIRL THAT ANSWERS THE PHONE SHE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF PRICES OR THE MENU IT'S AGGRAVATING TRYING TO PLACE AN ORDER OVER THE PHONE SHE GIVES ME A MIGRAINE LOL"
"Dr. Franklin, saw me personally and explains in detail what was going on with me and gave me options for how I’m going to manage it. I highly recommend this specialist."
"I feel very satisfied with the way they treated me and gave me answers all my questions. Cynthia Guzman ,NP, was very kind and answered all my questions very professionally. Thank 😊 🙏"
"I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Belinda Ramirez, and the entire experience was excellent. From the initial consultation to the follow-up, Dr. Ramirez was both accurate and incredibly nice, ensuring that I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the process. The procedure itself ran smoothly and efficiently, demonstrating her expertise and professionalism. Her office staff also deserves high praise. They are knowledgeable and extremely helpful, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Ramirez for anyone in need of a colonoscopy or related services. Her dedication to patient care and attention to detail are truly commendable. ---"
"Everyone was very helpful and nice,Dr. Otero was very nice also. Everyone treat me with a lot of respect my procedure for being my first time it was a good experience,thank you all of you."
"The visit with PA was great. She was kind , patient and understanding. However the MA who escorted me in was unkind . The BP electric cuff required two attempts and hurt me. The readings were high. She said would retake. She did not attempt to remove cuff, so I took off and attempted to place on other arm. She grabbed it from me. I responded. " you don't need to do that" she responded " you didn't needed to pull off your cuff" I am a nurse. I knew how to handle the cuff. In addition, my sister had passed away several days earlier. I did not needbany further confrontation. Thus, I remained quiet not making eye contact during the history review. I did make the PA aware as well. Ty."
"Dr. Joseph E. Johnson IV and his staff did an excellent job. However, the intake nurse didn't know how to do a proper IV. It took 7 times before the IV was finally in my arm. Then it was so painful, I could hardly stand it. This left bruises on my arm and hand. The anesthesiologist with Dr. Johnson in the procedure room was kind enough to redo the IV and he did an excellent job. After that everything went well. They even checked up on me the next day to see how I was doing. If you need to have a colonoscopy I highly recommend Dr. Johnson."
"I love Dr Guerra and his staff. I have been going to them for years. They are so great and make you feel safe and comfortable. Thank you SAGA team on Euclid in San Antonio!"

"Dr. Ayyar was knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with me at my appointment. His bed side manner is wonderful. He’s easy to talk to and he’s a great listener. Staff is also friendly and helpful!"
"Dr. Guerra listens to his patients and answers questions in a thorough, calm and respectful manner. His staff all follow the same rapport with patients. I highly recommend Dr Guerra and thank him and his staff for his service."
