"I wasn't crazy about the PA I saw, however, it was that or wait 3 months to see Dr. Levitan. Now I need an endoscopy that is booked out until February. I guess that means they're not too concerned lol. I have been a patient for over 10 years. I think Dr. Levitan is amazing. It's just a little disappointing on the length of time he and procedures are booked out. I understand this is the norm for specialists, but still frustrating."
"The doctors I have seen have shown a great deal of concern about my health. They have listened to my concerns and given me the help I have needed. Their practice has been very helpful and responsive from the office staff to the doctors. I highly recommend this group."
"FMP Youngmi Lee was fantastic. Due to a computer mistake my appointment was supposed to be at 8:30 but I had on my notes at 11:30. NP Youngmi Lee said that she was going to see me anyway and I really appreciated that because I didn’t have to make another appointment. She listened to my complaints regarding the medication and she took took action immediately. Her assistant and the front desk clerk were very knowledgeable of their duties. Kudos to the three of them."
"Dr. Krieger's staff is professional and friendly. I went for a follow up visit and didn’t have to wait long before getting called. Kaytlen Falk, PA discussed my tests results clearly and next steps to take. Scheduling for other tests and follow up accordingly was easy. I would definitely recommend this Doctors group."
"Great experience. Nice nurses. Dr Krieger makes you feel absolutely at peace when he comes to talk to before your procedure. Every in the clinic or friendly."
"As always my visit was enjoyable. As what seems to have become the norm, I was seen early. All the staff is always pleasant, polite and helpful. One doctor appointment I actually look forward to keeping! Love Katelynn! She takes time to listen and keeps Dr. Schmidt fully informed of my care."
"TDDC presented as bigger than I remembered from 4 years ago. The front desk person greeted me and after a few signatures we were met by another person that politely greeted us and directed us to a patient room. Shortly after a few questions, Katelynn came in. She quickly calmed my fears and explained that she and Dr. Smith had reviewed my records. She explained the next few steps of what they recommended and how they planned to proceed with my care. After we left the appointment, I have communicated with the staff through the portal. This is a very professional and personable care team!"
"For my first time to experience this place. It was so clean, efficient, staff and drs were informative and very friendly. The waiting room screen would update as things were going. Top notch service"
"Clean, efficient and very friendly staff. All took their time to make sure I was comfortable and informed of the procedure. Medical record reviewed. Dr and anesthesiologist introduced themselves as well. Highly recommend."
"Great communication and pretty good access (they are successful and therefore busy). Katelynn, PA in N. Richland Hills, is especially nice and personable. She allows plenty of time and covers all the bases. A definite asset."
"I like Dr Jeffrey Krueger so much. His views, his approach, his talk with patients, and his work is what I need. The PA Katelynn Faulk is so good and professional! I tried to find a good gastroenterologist for some time and finally I found one. Thank you!"
"I have seen Dr. Ramos once and the other couple times I have seen Lata. I appreciate that after I'm seen Dr. Ramos reviews my record. This is a place I would recommend for anyone in my family."
"The Alliance, surgery center and Dr. Hill and all his anesthesiologists, Nurses - especially Kendall and Rosie, were fantastic! I wouldn’t go anywhere else"
"Dr. Schmidt’s entire staff is exceptional. Both Dr. Schmidt and Katelynn Faulk, PA-C take time to hear me and never make me feel rushed. I highly recommend this practice."
"Youngme is wonderful! She and her staff are very friendly.She listens closely and gives great advice. I completely trust her experience and knowledge. Shs care of me for years and never disappoints. She encourages you live a more healthy life. she's awesome!!!"
"The receptionist was friendly and pleasant. The medical assistant was not overly friendly. The PA that conducted the consultation was extremely friendly and very professional. She was engaging and thorough. Best representative of your office."
"They are very nice, and the providers take time with you to help you understand what is going on. I have had a great experience every time I've been there. Dr.Lamba and her NP Katelyn are great. Ashlee the MA is very kind and sweet. You are treated with respect and kindness. The office is very nice and clean."

"Very friendly. Made me feel at ease. Asked many questions and explained everything in detail. They made sure my provider had all the information they gathered. That alone is an asset to my health care that everyone is on the same page."
"I have been seeing Dr Lacy for over ten years and highly recommend him as a great Doctor that has helped me with my nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and my wife’s pathetic esophagus."
"The doctors and staff at TDDC are wonderful. They are very nice, thorough and informative. They answer my questions before I ask them. Highly recommend TDDC."

"Amazing best I have ever neen to dr Ramos and his nurse and rest of there staff fought with my insurance company to get me the medicine I needed and kept me informed through the hole process."
"They are very nice, and the providers take time with you to help you understand what is going on. I have had a great experience every time I've been there. Dr.Lamba and her NP Katelyn are great. Ashlee the MA is very kind and sweet. You are treated with respect and kindness. The office is very nice and clean."
"The employees at TDDC are all very helpful and kind. There is usually very little wait time before seeing my doctor or PA. Despite the short wait time, I’ve never felt pushed to hurry through an appointment. My PA spends the time it takes to understand my concerns and then discusses our options. She gives her recommendations but doesn’t pressure me or make me feel like I have to hurry. I have a lot of tummy issues and have been going to TDDC for years. I’ve always been happy with them but I feel like they’ve raised the benchmark so high it would be difficult to find another GI doctor who I could be this happy with."
"PA Faulk is personal and professional. I’ve been through pills, powders and liquid sludge. So far, no help. But she has given me hope that there are other options to try. Thanks TDDC! Also, the admin staff is top notch! Bravo"
"Dr. Ramos and his staff are by far the most competent group of medical professionals that I’ve ever worked with. Wonderful experience each time I have an appointment. Specifically, Kaitlyn (PA) explained everything to me in a clear manner. She was also kind and friendly. They have taken great care of my health. I am so glad I chose TDDG and would highly recommend to anyone!"
"After calling & speaking with nurse regarding an recent flare up, they took the time to call & move my appt up. During my appt. Katelynn took time to review my issues, evaluate them one by one, provided instructions on how to move forward & follow up. Overall great experience"
"I have been seeing Dr. Houston and his assistant Kaitlyn for a few years now. They both take their time with you and they really care about their patients. Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else."
"Had two procedures at this clinic on two separate occasions, both times I was taken care of with respect and the utmost caring folks, I highly recommend TDDC."
"I was able to get a next day appt with Dr. Levitan's PA Katelyn and she was friendly, listened to what I had going on and recommended a particular drug to take for 14 days. Tests were ordered and had quick results. The prescription turned out to be very expensive but she was able to put together samples for me which I really appreciated. I highly recommend TDDC and especially Dr. Levitan and his team."
"Everyone at this doctors office was great and professional, however if you are self pay do NOT go here. My appointment maybe took 30 minutes and i was told before hand it would be no more than $300… i paid 250 at the end of the appointment now i’m receiving a bill for another $83 totaling $332. The other bill says it’s vacate the appt was longer than 45 minutes (which it wasnt) I also had to pay $99 for labs but i was assured multiple times it would not be over 300. Now i’m getting close to the $500 dollar mark for one thirty minute appointment. Again if you are self pay find someone cheaper or be prepared to pay upwards of 500 for every appointment (2stars) UPDATE* 1/26 leslie with billing called me and addressed my concerns, then called billing and reported back to me saying the extra charge was added on accident and that i do not need to pay it. Therefore, what they originally told me was correct and i will continue to go to them due to their very helpful staff i am changing my review to 5 stars!"

"From check in, to the nurse practitioner, physician, and appointment scheduler, TDDS was fantastic. Everyone is kind and courteous, the nurse practitioner was very attentive and thorough, and scheduling was an easy process. I highly recommend this team for any GI needs."
"Everyone is very kind and makes you feel as comfortable as possible. The nurses and Dr. Lacey are very good at what they do! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a colonoscopy."
"Great customer service here for consultation of my colonoscopy needs. Dr Troy Schmidt is very nice and explained everything excellently for preparation of the procedure. I will be back in five years to do another. He showed me pictures of a few polyps including a couple which were precancerous, which he removed thank goodness. Definitely recommend these fine folks!"
"I love Dr. Steffer because of her genuine caring personality. I had the privilege to meet one of her PA’s, Katelynn Faulk with my last visit for a yearly checkup. She too was detail and very caring, I never felt rushed or like I was just another number!"
"Such a NICE team of professionals. I really like going there. After having the same doctor in Missouri for over 20 years, when we moved to Texas I didn't think that I would find such a nice doctor, but Dr Krieger is absolutely terrific"
"The staff is amazing!!! They’re polite and most importantly, they are PROFFESSIONAL!!! Dr. Smidth and his PA Katelynn Faulk are very down to earth!! They sit there and listen to your concerns and take the time to talk to you and explain everything in detail. Gotta love them!!!!"
"Dr. Ramos and his PA Caitlin and are phenomenal to work with alongside his nurse Erica who follows up with as promised . He and his staff truly care about you as the patient and your well-being and making sure that you are taken care of and all questions are answered. I highly recommend my friends and family to go to Dr. Ramos and team to ensure that everything is good with their digestive system when asked !!"
"All the Staff members have been exceptionally helpful. They always accommodate my schedule and address my needs. The Medical Staff have been outstanding and continually have ensured they are leaving no option unchecked when concerning my health needs. I have been going to TDDC for over four years and trust them with my basically with my life. Dr. Jeffrey Krieger and his P.A. Katelynn Faulk are genuinely interested in my health and make sure my concerns are answered. They are awesome in every way every time."

"TDDC is a full practice of digestive care. The doctors, the PA’s, nurses and staff are always friendly and helpful no matter the problem or question. My wife and I are both are very proud to share TDDC with others."
"I have had greater interactions with the staff. Never had issues with them not answering their phone or returning calls. I had one hiccup with the Southlake office but was able to reschedule at the North Fort Worth/Keller office-which is the location I wanted because I'm just 5 mins from that office."
"I am so pleased with this place I love this place so much I would refer anybody I love, to this place .Dr .Kreagor is a A + AMAZING!!! DOCTOR ,HE HAS A HEART OF GOLD! I had a health issue and no matter how many times I called with a question,after seeing him,They were kind and VERY!!PATIENT! and very attentive ,in helping me understand .I only see Kreagor and when u see him he makes you feel like your his only patient ! He takes his time and answers every single question no matter how many you have.Like your his only patient for the day! ,He is so down to Earth.Great doctor!"
"P A. Faulk is very professional and thorough. She reviewed my history and compared it to my current status. She ensured that all prescriptions were current and submitted refills where applicable."
"I had a great experience with DR. Ramos and Dr. Araghizadeh. Ramos did my colonoscopy and referred me to Dr. Araghizadeh. I was going through the reviews and I am not sure what the negative comments are coming from because he was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Before my surgery, he answered all my questions. He gave it to me straight how my recovery is going to be. Quote " You are going to hate me the first week," which I did. But after 3 weeks, I'm so glad I went through the procedure because I have no more tedious pain. I will say his schedule assistant is hard to get a hold of. Phone calls were rarely answered and when I had to reschedule my post op, it was more unanswered calls and I had to wait by my phone until I get a call back because she wouldn't answer even if you called them back minutes later. The nurses who prep me at the office during check ups with Dr. A are super sweet and I never had to wait for a long time to be seen. Overall Dr. A took care of me, gave it to me straight (when it comes to health, thats how I would want to get information) and would definitely recommend him."

"I found every one that I dealt with to be extremely professional, effective, and efficient. I highly recommend them. They gave me the epitome of excellent care ."
"Mike called me literally an hour after they received my prescription to set up delivery. His customer service and the prompt service was EXCELLENT. I gave specific delivery instructions & they nailed it. Thanks you’ll for exceptional service & treating me as if I was your only customer."
"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ramos and Dr. Araghizadeh. Dr. Ramos did my colonoscopy and referred me to Dr. Araghizadeh. I was going through the reviews and I'm not sure where the negative comments are coming from. Dr. Araghizadeh is super knowledgeable and friendly. It was my first surgery and I was very nervous. He answered all of my questions and concerns, even told me exactly how he would do my procedure. Gave it to me straight about my recovery and I quote " You are going to hate me for the first week," which I did. But im glad he mentally prepared me for it. Im very happy that I went through with the surgery, I now don't have a tedious pain to deal with and am more comfortable with myself. The nurses that prep his patients for check ups were always sweet and the wait times were minimal. I will say that Dr. Araghizadeh's scheduling assistant is very hard to get a hold of. I had to reschedule a couple of my appointments and the calls were never answered. I always had to leave a vm. Even if I called back minutes later after a missed call from her, it was never answered. I had to wait by my phone until i got a call back to ensure a rescheduling. Overall, my experience with Dr. Araghizadeh was amazing. Like I said, he was friendly and relieved me from the pain I had going on for months. Definitely would recommend him."
"I had my first appointment with Dr Jody Houston. I am very pleased with his professionalism and knowledge. In just one visit he made me feel he cares about finding a solution to what I need. Thank you Dr Houston for being there to listen and answer questions I had. I am confident you will help me with the issues I am experiencing and will help me with a solution."
"Dr Ramos | Great Experience I would recommend looking through all these comments. The overall score (unfortunately) does not reflect anyone’s experience with Dr Ramos. He is an excellent doctor that listens very well and seems to genuinely care. The overall score for this place would be much lower if not for all his 5 star reviews."

"My wife had to have an endoscopy and dilation done on her stomach and esophagus. We saw Dr. Ramos. Dr. Ramos was excellent, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He was more than willing to talk us through the procedure from beginning to end. When the procedure was over, he showed us images of everything he saw, and before and after images of the dilation. He answered all questions directly, was friendly through the entire process, and left us feeling comfortable that her procedure would provide some relief for her symptoms. Five stars. If I could give more, I would."
"These team of doctors helped save my husbands life! They are very top professionals and excellent bedside manner. They follow up to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. My husband had a rare form of cancer, Dr. Araghizadeh took care of it. Very greatful. Their staff is AWESOME especially Denise the Nurse at this location. Dr. Ramos is excellent also, we both had colonoscopies with him. We can’t say enough!"
"Dr. Ramos and Dr. A went over and beyond. Dr. Ramos listened to my concerns and took them seriously which meant so much since my symptoms were dismissed for so many years from other doctors. I’m so grateful because my ailments turned out to be quite serious and he expedited the process to Dr. A to get my issue resolved. Dr. A was able to immediately get me in for surgery and did a miraculous job taking care of my issue and followed through with all of my post care. I am beyond impressed with the level of professionalism and personal attention. Thank you to Dr. Ramos, Dr. A and to the entire staff that helped get my health issues addressed."
"Both Dr. Krieger and Victoria Archibald have been wonderful. They listen to you, answer your questions and do not make you feel rushed. They are the best."
"Approximately 4-5 total visits with Dr. Araghizadeh (removed cancerous cyst). During this process he made instinctive decisions during pre-surgery appointments resulting in a high comfort level with what I was up against. Not once did I feel rushed or belittled but he was always thorough in explaining what was a foreign topic to me. Seemingly a humble professional. Various medical staff at non-related offices all spoke positivity about Dr. Araghizadeh’s method of practice. During my recovery state after asking how I felt he said he felt very good about what was done, (I like that confidence). Didn’t mind giving me a hug at my request during my Post Op visit after finding out just how serious my situation was. Dr. Ramos ( 2 colonoscopy visits) one could mistaken him for thinking he’s always been a long time friend of everybody, very personable. Thorough explanation of results. Patient for all questions. Proactively offered preventative measures and suggestions. From office to operating table the demeanor of these two doctors was professional, knowledgeable, caring and efficient. No billing errors or surprise charges. I would have no problem recommending both doctors to the President before Congress😉"
"So shocked to see negative experiences with Dr Lamba. I have (unfortunately, due to my medical issues) worked with Dr Lamba in office and the hospital for several months in 2016 and again now in 2018 and have had nothing but pleasant experiences. She listened to my symptoms/concerns and was empathetic to my issues/pain. I know she's currently pregnant and hope that these poor reviews were just bad/uncomfortable days, as she truly does have a good bedside manner."
"I have FINALLY found a Crohn's doctor that is absolutely amazing! Dr. Ramos and his team are spectacular. Office visits are quick, follow ups are easy, everything you need (labs, infusions, appointments, etc.) are available in the same office... and his knowledge about Crohn's Disease is incredible. Highly recommend!"
"Went in to see Dr Krieger today with my son. He was very knowledgeable, explained things well, and was able to answer our questions. The staff was more than friendly and accommodating, they were able to fit me in for an appointment while I was there too. We feel good about scheduling our upcoming procedures with them."
"I had my first appointment with Dr. Ramos at TDDC, both he and he staff were great. The whole staff and Dr. Ramos were very professional and courteous. The facility is very impressive, also I am happy to see all the options available here. If you need a GI specialist, this is where your search should begin."
"Dr. Ramos and his staff are great. Everyone is so nice and my process for appointments and procedures was smooth. I left a voice mail to schedule an appointment and was contacted that afternoon. Highly recommend!"
"My wife an I both had a screening procedure. Doctor Holt and the staff were helpful, open, caring and quite knowledgeable. Comfort was well handled and the procedure was quick. I avoided cancer on this visit as the trouble that was found was removed on the spot. Recommend this facility and Dr Holt as well."
