"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’ve been seeing Dr. Holt w TDDC for a few years. He takes your complaints seriously and quickly seeks to look into the issue through tests etc. He listens. The staff is always courteous and professional. Never have to wait long to get in when I call with active symptoms."

"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."
"Laila the NP did wonders for me. She’s very knowledgeable and even called to follow up on how the medicines were working! Great office—efficient and friendly!"
"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."
"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. I will say parking can be tough on a busy day but a little walk never hurt nobody."
"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."
"Toni l, the NP, was very helpful, understanding and listened to all I said. She made good suggestions on supplementing my diet for best GI health which I have implemented. Thanks!"

She is very professional and yet personable and I was comfortable with her finding it easy to explain my symptoms and discuss my health problems. When my appointment came to an end she walked me out and took me to reception station to check out. The girls up front were very helpful. 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."
"Love Dr Anita Steven's. She's the very best. But I was not able to get the proper medication for my stomach problem. It hurts and im throwing up and this is day two and still nothing done except for the quick return on getting me to a cardiologist! I have been with Dr. Stevens for years and I will not leave her. She is a phenomenal doctor and I wouldn't use anyone else so highly highly recommend her"
"TDDC is the greatest place I have ever been for medical care. The doctors and nurses and everyone else are absolutely fabulous. They treat you like family and are so caring and compassionate. They give you tons of time and explain everything. They call you at home to see how you are doing. I would never go anywhere else. I love these professionals. Dr. Anita Steephen is the best doctor in Dallas!"

They have a great/comfortable office and waiting area, and they are always on time and get to in a room quickly. Very little wait time till the doctor comes in and sees you."
"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. If you are ever in need of a gastroenterologist (GI doctor) and are in the North Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake, Grapevine area I would highly recommend her for her amazing compassion and wonderful skills and talent. I’m grateful for Dr. Y😃"

"Following a life threatening experience in 2017 with pancreatitus in another state, I started working with Dr. Holt when I returned to Texas.

"Dr. Steephen listened to all my physical complaints and suggested further procedures quickly. I appreciate that so much since I have a history of cancer. Thank you!"
"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 can explain what is going on. She talks to Dr. Holt and immediately returns my call. Dr. Holt and staff were a life saver for me! I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Dr. Laila and Dr. Holt and the rest of the team! Diana Seal"

Dr Laila Nooruddin has always been prompt in her appointments with me, spending time explaining the time and changes that Dr Patel wanted in medication or in procedures. I’ve been more than satisfied with my treatment from both members of this team since the transition. Thank you so much!"
"I love her. She listens to every concern and addresses it. She plans her treatments with caution and care of your health. She follows up with patients and will provide you with recommendations as needed. Her bedside manner is above what I was expecting. I’ve been seeing her since 2013 and will continue to see her yearly or as needed."

"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!!!"
