"Great facility! Great staff! Great doctor! From check-in to (essentially)check out, the process was a breeze. The staff did an amazing job explaining the procedure, walking you through the anesthesia process and the recovery nurse explaining the remainder. Would 100% recommend Dr. Ayyar to family and friends!"
"Dr. Ayyar was very attentive to my GI concerns. He offered me a couple of options, and allowed me to make the decision, with the option that the more involved option would still be available if my chosen lesser course didn't work. I appreciate his willingness to have me involved in the treatment decision after presenting the options."

"Dr.Alvarez was genuine and I felt very comfortable with him performing my procedure. However, NO BEARING ON DR. ALVAREZ, but outpatient surgery scheduling is important It takes a certain type of attitude, attention, and servant leadership to assist people during a period of uncertainty. The gentleman that "assisted" me with my scheduling was NO ASSISTANCE, provided the procedure location 2 hours before the appointment, I never received the details he said that was on 4:07 pm on a FRIDAY. I called the office multiple times no call back. I had to call my doctor's office and ask them to call them, so they would call with the information. THANK YOU DR. ALVAREZ FOR LOCATING, REMOVING THE ISSUE, AND REPAIRING THE BREACH, U R THE BEST!!!!!"
"The office, doctor and PA staff are very friendly and helpful. The performed my procedure with great care and assured me of the process. The aftercare was attentive and they made sure that I had every that I needed."

"I recently had a procedure at this facility. It was handled very professionally and I had no issues. It was painless and was done in a timely manner. Everyone was very nice to me and concerned for my well being. I would definitely recommend coming here and you will be happy you did."
"Well making appointments could be easier. The phone system leaves a lot to be desired. I was happy Dr Johnson saw me personally. PAs are helpful but I asked for help 4 months ago. Still struggling with a cranky gut. The MIRALAX worked at first but then I had the total runs for 3 days. Now total constipation. I'm glad to be reassured I don't have cancer but if I die from a reaction to med. I'm just as dead. See you on Tues. And maybe we can figure out how I can poop and have pain relief. Be nice if it could happen."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Ramirez for over 30 years and she is one of the best doctors. She genuinely cares about her patients. She is never rushed and takes time to listen to your concerns. The only issue I have is with her medical staff. During my last visit they failed to schedule my 6 month following up, they only called in one of the two prescriptions needed and I have been trying to get them to submit a prior-authorization form. I have called three different times and I’m still waiting. This seems to be a constant issue. What’s even more frustrating is that Dr. Ramirez spoke directly to the medical assistant after seeing me and told her exactly what was needed and it still wasn’t taken care of properly."
"My experience from the staff during my office visit was professional, and quick. Dr. Franklin and front desk were very nice, and took the time to explain to me all the details. My overall experience was great!"

"No one wants a colonoscopy but if you have to have one this place is the best. They are a well oiled machine. Everything was so smooth. So many puns coming to mind. Everyone was so pleasant and reassuring. The whole process minus the prep of course, was a very good experience and I recommend this center highly."
"Great visit. The wait time was minimal. Met w Dr Alvarez. Had a good visit...nothing major to review. He spent enough time as needed to review my results from my last procedure."
"Dr. Bullock was professional and attentive when seeing my family members. Office staff was helping and prompt with our appointment, thank you for treating my family!"
"Dr Guerra and his team always treats there patients with the best care possible. I always have a great feeling that your health is in good hands with their team."
"There really care about their patients. It’s not often that you find a doctor like Ms Martinez who will call over the weekends to talk to her patients. She is one great doctor."
"I was treated with respect and my issues addressed. I actually met Dr. Johnson! I went to another GI and only dealt with the PA. The PA Ms. Guzman actually showed me in a picture where my problems are and it matches where I feel the pain. No one has ever done that. Very satisfied."
"I was referred to this office by my husband & was very impressed. Everyone was great! I felt really comfortable talking to Dr Johnson’s PA & Harley for scheduling. Thank you for being kind & easy to talk to."

Thank you 🙏🏼"
"The clinic was very nice, clean and staff super professional. That was throughout the entire procedure. The nurses explained every step of the procedure and what was to be expected. Doctor came in and introduced himself and asked if I had any concerns."
"I've been a patient of Dr. Taheri's for several years now and he's the best Gastro Doctor I've ever had. Dr. Taheri really listens to his patients and will go the extra mile to make sure they are taken care of. So if you're looking for a Gastroenterologist, I highly recommend Dr. Taheri."

"Dr Harmon has been my doctor for the past 20 plus years, he is so kind and caring. He listens to all of my concerns and explains all treatments and medications in details, so I can understand. I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone looking for an awesome Doctor 😀"
"I love this practice. It does take a while to be seen, but it’s worth the wait! Dr. Otero is very friendly, patient, and understanding. His PAs, which I’ve seen both, are excellent and very considerate of patient care and comfort. The nursing staff is always friendly and willing to listen and help. 12/10 highly recommend!"
"Waiting time was better than previous visits. Although P.A. Malone was informative, I feel rushed as if she has a 10-minute limit. I was used to Dr. Guerra's personal attention."
"Continuity of care (CoC) is a process that involves a patient and their care team in ongoing health care management. The goal of CoC is to provide high-quality, cost-effective medical care. Blessed be! 🙏❤️ 😌, gracias manito..."

"I thought all Dr. Guerra staff was great, Except for the person that started my IV. She was a bit rough and didn’t even bother to apologize. The only thing she said was, if you don’t like it there I can put it somewhere else, but everybody else gets five stars. Thank you"

"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."
"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.

"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."

"This is my second visit to Dr. Flores’ office and again it was a very pleasant experience. You are never made to wait longer than necessary and all staff are a pleasure to work with. Dr. Flores makes you feel as if you are the most important patient he has for that day. He gives you as much time as you need and makes sure you understand exactly what information he is giving you. I highly recommend Dr. Flores and his staff to all."
"Dr. Belinda Ramirez has provided excellent medical advice as well care to both my husband and myself. Office appts are always timely with minimal waiting - staff is courteous and consolations are very through. Highly recommended if you need a gastroenterologist."
"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."
"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."
"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 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"
"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."
"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"

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."
"Procedure, Follow Up went smoothly. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Only complaint is with prescription being called into pharmacy. Was told by your staff Lackland pharmacy did not carry prescription, so we used CVS. Then CVS said they couldn't fill prescription because it was called into another pharmacy already! Days later come to find out it was filled by my pharmacy at Lackland."
"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."
