"I have been a patient at this office for about ten years. Thankfully, I have not needed Dr. Steephen very often, however, I can’t ask for more when I have needed her and the staff. Superior medical skills and customer service are always provided."
"I saw Laila (NP) so i could get my colonoscopy scheduled. It was a very quick and efficient visit. I was in and out and was able to get my procedure scheduled with Dr. Holt. Laila was very professional and thorough. I love this office"
"Very professional and friendly staff and practitioners. Very thorough in their analysis. They do not work in a hurry and communicate well with the patient. Highly recommend them. Jorge Robert"
"Doctor was patient and knowledgeable. I gave 4 stars because the doctor was difficult to hear. That is frustrating when you need to understand the results of your procedure."
"The team was wonderful!! I am (apparently) very sensitive with a low resting heart rate and during the first attempt, I had an extremely low heart rate (0 :/ ). The second attempt was done here in the hospital and the team was ready for all my needs. :) they were also kind and really listened to me."
"I arrived early & was filling out my data on their IPad. I was called in at the exact time of my appointment so no waiting! The staff was friendly and professional. I had a blood draw by Yolanda Sharp and she was so nice! Very smooth visit from start to finish and I greatly appreciate that they value my time too!"

"I saw Dr. Steephen for my first EGD/Colonoscopy at 33. It can be scary going in for medical procedures when you're so young but the staff made me feel entirely at ease from start to finish. She was able to give me peace of mind. The administrative staff both at their main office and the endoscopy center is empathetic and helpful. Highly recommend going to them for acute issues and routine care alike."

"I called to schedule an appointment and they were able to squeeze me in because someone canceled last minute. Went to see Dr. Vemula for the first time and he was amazing the whole staff from the front to the back were nice and helpful.

"Toni was very friendly and through in discussing my health issues. She told me she would follow up with the doctor and that she would call Me as necessary, which she did."
"The only reason I am not leaving 5 stars is due to the difficulty of getting an appointment anywhere inside of a couple months’ notice. With that said, everything else has been top notch with TDDC. Dr. Holt and his team have always treated me so well, given me excellent care, and never rushed me out of the room. I’ve been a patient for close to 15 years now."

Overall I have to say my appointment was a pleasant experience and I am looking forward to resolving and taking care of my health issues. Thank you."

She is a phenomenal doctor and I wouldn't use anyone else so highly highly recommend her"

"Dr. Yalmanchili did an amazing job putting in a peg tube a few months ago then replacing it with the more discreet Mic-Key button two weeks ago. She has a wonderful bedside manner, very caring and compassionate. She is a great listener and keeps you well informed and goes out of her way to do her extreme best to make you comfortable and answer all of your questions and see that you get everything you need before discharge. Her staff is just as awesome as she is. They are also very compassionate and go out of their way to help make everything go as smoothly as possible. I would recommend her 20 out of 10 stars ☺️. It’s not easy finding many doctors who really enjoy what they do and have the compassion to show it through the careful commitment to taking care of and putting their patients first.

I’m grateful for Dr. Y😃"

"I saw Dr. Holt for the first time about 4 years ago. I just remember how kind, considerate and extremely knowledgeable he was in his field of practice. I had an extreme fear of anaesthesia, in particular propofol. He took a lot of time with me explaining procedures how it worked in layman's terms and told me he would take care of me just like he would his own family. He helped to calm my fears by fully informing me and I appreciated it. I am about to have another procedure and looking forward to having this kind and very capable physician perform the procedure."
"After years of suffering with digestive problems I started going to see Dr. Holt. I can call his office and immediately talk to someone. I usually talk to Dr.Laila. She is wonderful!

"I agree with those who rave about Dr. Cox, he's truly a great gastro doctor, however he has since retired. I also have to say Dr. Anita Steephan is pretty awesome too. These two doctors were really made you feel at ease as they describe in detail the procedure. (Cox hiatal hernia 2015, Steephan's colonosopy 2019)"

"Dr Patel has been an amazing doctor. I had an issue with my liver. He tested put me on a regime and it cleared... I could highly recommend. just had another procedure with Dr Patel. He really knows his stuff. If you are over 50, he needs to be one of your specialists."
"Was treated for Crohn's by Dr. James Cox for years until we moved out of area, and he's one of the best in the field. I sure wish we had him here. He not only is one of the more educated and experienced gastroenterologists, but he also treats his patients extremely well. You definitely can't go wrong by making him your choice."
"Dr Patel has been an amazing doctor, for my husband. He's been seeing him since my hubby was in the hospital for separate issues months ago. Now, he is taking all the steps to ensure a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. We will continue to go there...Also, their offices are very nice and I like that the paperwork is now done on tablets."
"Dr. Andrew Holt is THE BEST. "Walks softly but carries a big stick". Meaning he is a quiet man but very knowledgeable and deeply concerned about his patients. He has a calming and steady demeanor. I've had Crohn's Disease for 22yrs and had multiple doctors, he, by far is the BEST!!!"
