"Friendly, professional,and all around great doctor and staff, for a procedure that is not a pleasant experience wonderful people make a bit more comfortable!!"
"I was very impressed. I had only met Dr.Ramos one time before, at a scheduled Colonoscopy. After 5 yrs and time to do it again, I scheduled a visit with him due to other issues that my PCP kind of brushed off. Dr.Ramos listened, suggested ways to alleviate the issues and scheduled a CAT scan. It's refreshing to actually find a Doctor that listens!"
"Third time having a procedure and cannot be any happier. All the staff is amazing. Dr Ramos is great at what he does. Communication is magnificent. I highly recommend!"
"This was my first colonoscopy, So I was a little nervous, but the procedure was so quick and so painless, that I hardly even remember anything. Dr. Ramos was great. He made it easy to relax with his cheerful attitude, and then explained everything I needed to know afterward."
"A great team at Lone Star Endoscopy from Dr. Ramos, the attending nurses and specialist. They all were so very attentive to my needs and care. And, Dr. Ramos gave immediate feedback after procedure, the team saw me to the car and made a follow-up call to ensure I had no problems following the procedure. I would recommend them hands down with reservation for their services!"
"Everybody was nice making sure I was comfortable. This was my second colonoscopy . Much better I can't imagine any one could do better, would recommend to anyone for Dr Christopher Ramos M.D. and be sure and ask for the pills instead of a watery Nasty stuff. I'm very satisfied."
"Dr. Ramos and his staff at Lonestar Endoscopy in Keller were very professional, informative, and kind. Would highly recommend for anyone needing a GI procedure."
"This is my third time at Lone Star Endoscopy with Dr. Chris Ramos. Dr. Ramos is truly the best! Thank you! I’ve moved away from Keller but I will continue to come here because of this staff. I’ve never experienced an entire staff of employees who have the same mindset to consistently deliver an exceptional customer experience. Every member from the registration (Alondra) , RN’s (Katrina, Catherine), Anesthesiologists (Greg), and Juliana and Andrell took great care of me. Every detail including the music playing was calming but fun. Admittedly, I don’t want to return anytime soon, but when I do, I know I’m going to be in excellent care from the beginning to the end. Thank you!!!!"
"Thank you, Kelly, for the insightful evening and hosting us in such a lovely space. Gratitude to Worthy Co for creating a safe haven for survivors of trafficking! Thank you, Dr. Ramos and Team!"
"Dr Ramos is amazing! Very professional, caring, and knowledgeable! He recently did my colonoscopy and he and his whole team was great! Made me feel comfortable and walked me through the process. From the time I scheduled my appointment until my procedure his office was helpful and kept me informed of what I needed to do. They even text me reminders which I appreciate! I highly recommend Dr Ramos and his office!"
"From the moment of arrival I was taken care of as though I was the only patient in the building! My first nurse Katherine was exceptional and very detailed. My anesthesiologist was like an old friend, it was my second time with him. The surgery nurse was very concerned about my comfort. Dr. Ramos is such a down to earth man, he has done both of my Colonoscopys so far, he will be my doctor again if another one is needed! I felt like I was surrounded by family! NH"
"Great staff from check in to discharge. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Can’t say enough about how everyone I had contact with was so nice."
"Wonderful experience. I highly recommend Dr. Ramos and his team to anyone considering a colonoscopy. From the onset the office staff were very professional and answered all my concerns. The RN explained what was happening and what I should expect during the procedure as she connected tubes and sensor to my body. Next the anesthesiologist came in and explained what he was going to do and what type of anesthesia he was going to use. Next Dr. Ramos came in and introduced himself and answered any questions I had. After the procedure, a nurse made sure I was alert and explained what happened. Dr. Ramos came in and showed me the results and explained what they meant and made recommendations. The day after a nurse called me to check up on me and see how I was feeling and to see if I had any concerns. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Again, highly recommend Dr. Ramos and his staff."
"It was my first appointment with Dr. Ramos to treat my heartburn and I never imagined that after having seen other doctors I could find a gastroenterologist who was so professional and above all kind and who would take the time to talk to his patient. Thank you very much Dr Ramos, 🙏🏻 oh and an excellent and also friendly support staff 🤗 It was my first appointment with Dr Ramos to treat my heartburn And I never imagined that after having seen other doctors I could find such a professional and above all friendly gastroenterologist who would take the time to talk to his patient. Thank you very much Dr Ramos 🙏Oh and also friendly support staff 🤗"
"Dr. Ramos was very thorough during my visit with him. I did not feel rushed and felt very comfortable describing everything I have been dealing with. He has great bedside manner & a great approach on resolving my issue! Very glad I found him. Definitely recommend Dr. Ramos!"
"Dr. Ramos is the best! We first researched him on Vitals, Healthgrades etc while looking for a new doctor for eldest son with UC. Then, later went to him for routine Colonoscopy, mystery stomach pain and Special-needs, non-verbal-youngest son digestive issues. All our myriad of issues resolved! Dr.Ramos's knowledgeable, practical and empathetic approach is key to solving our heath issues. Also, the facility he uses, Lone Star Endoscopy exemplifies true professionalism. Last, did I mention we drive 2 hours one way just bc Ramos is that good...CKinser 11/13/2023Update: I've been having some issues and have tried repeatedly to schedule an appointment. When I could get the office to return my calls, I was told I would have to wait until 2024 to be seen. And, they were not scheduling appointments for 2024 until the end of October. We're in the middle of November and I'm still waiting for a phone call. The worst part of this story is I repeatedly told Ramos office something is amiss and I still could not be scheduled. There must be alot of bad colons out there and all of them trying to see Ramos. We're looking for another doctor who's not part of TDDC."
"Dr. Ramos and his staff were great!! Especially considering this was my first colonoscope they made the process very easy and relaxing considering! Thanks again. Jason Heffron"
"I thought everyone was very professional and the system worked like clock work. I know when you have that many procedures in a day that details get missed. Overall good experience, but I definitely had a rough few days following the procedure. Following up is frustrating because I kept playing phone tag during business hours."
"Dr. Ramos is a great guy and excellent doctor. Prior to my procedure he came by the holding area to visit briefly as did the anesthesiologist and surgical nurse. After the procedure he spoke to my wife since I was still fast asleep. He filled her in completely on the results and once she was able to fill me in all my questions were answered."
"Very personable, detailed explanation of why, when and how often we should start and have colonoscopies and what to expect for preparation and procedure!"
"The staff that prepared and assisted with my procedure were absolutely amazing. They were very friendly and made me feel at home. Dr Ramos and the team are genuine and I wish every experience would be so great."
"The service and patient care is top notch! From the nursing staff, administration and the doctor (i.e., Dr. Ramos, Rachel, and Brenda) all are amazing and go above and beyond to address your needs and/or concerns."
"Very impressed with the initial meeting. Dr. Ramos answered all my questions and explained the process and procedure. Like everyone, I’m not looking forward to the procedure but am confident I have chosen the best physician to do it."
"This clinic is a great place for all procedures the staff is very professional and knowledgeable the give u all the information you need to make your visit perfect thanks dr ramos"
"The service and patient care is top notch! From the nursing staff, administration and the doctor (i.e., Dr. Ramos, Rachel, and Brenda) all are amazing and go above and beyond to address your needs and/or concerns."
"My first visit with Dr. Ramos was great. His staff was welcoming and friendly. He was very attentive and spent as much time with me as needed. He was honest about procedures, cost, insurance, etc. Overall, probably the best experience I have had with any doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Ramos to anyone looking for a GI doctor."
"Dr. Ramos took the time to fully understand my history and concerns with my existing medication. Then prescribed an alternative medication that would be best for me and advocated for it, on my behalf, to my insurance company. He could have just accepted the insurance company’s initial denial and prescribed a lesser alternative, but he didn’t. He fought for my best interests."
"Dr. Ramos and his office staffs are true professionals. I will 100 percent recommend Dr. Ramos to anyone and everyone that will needs his services, because I know they will be in good hands."
"Dr. Ramos has got to be the best doctor my wife and I have ever seen. He takes the time to address all your issues and concerns, can’t ask for anything more."
"Dr. Ramos has always been very detailed when explaining a summary of my health issues. He breaks things down on a level that is not demeaning at all. Things are explained in layman's terms yet done in gentle, non-scary way. He provides a future health plan to help you figure out how best to proceed. For example, his plan (and mine too) is to come off my GERD medicine. In order to do so, he talked me through a "game plan" so I can accomplish my health goal prior to my next visit. The hope/plan is to hopefully remove the meds, if not, then reduce the dosage. For his gentle honesty and his wonderful demeanor, I truly appreciate that in a physician. It makes me feel comfortable being in his care for the long term."
"I highly recommend Dr Ramos ! I met him for the first time a few days ago and was very surprised. He listens very well and has a-lot of knowledge . He spoke to me like I was family and not just a client and that mattered to me . Thanks Dr Ramos 💕"
"The pre-procedure information provided electronically and the preparation texts were very helpful. I also appreciated the financial transparency regarding billing and insurance. A really impressive experience overall"
"Dr Chris Ramos office was professional and caring. Procedure itself went perfect, no after side effects, nada! I would recommend Dr. Ramos to others if asked."
"My husband and I both use Dr Ramos for any of our gastrointestinal issues. He's thorough, thoughtful, and kind. We were very happy with him and Lonestar Endoscopy Center in Keller."
"Dr. Ramos is highly professional and has a great mannerism. He came in before my procedure to answer questions and make sure that I was comfortable. After my procedure, he explained what was found and showed me pictures of what was done. I highly recommend Dr. Ramos."
"I can’t thank Dr. Ramos enough. He got me in on short notice and did an exceptional job. He explained everything very well and answered all my questions and concerns. I end up getting a Endoscopy and from the time I got to the facility, Dr. Ramos staff really took care of me and eased my mind. I am really glad Dr. Ramos was referred to me by my primary doctor. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a great GI Doctor."
"From the moment I walked into Lone Star Endoscopy in Keller, I knew I was in good hands. The check-in process was seamless, and I was soon ushered back to prepare for my procedure, a diagnostic colonoscopy. I was cared for by a fabulous, courteous, friendly team— including Kelsey, Kelly, Cindy, Amanda, (apologies for any misspellings!) and my awesome anesthesiologist (nurse anesthetist, maybe?) Ryan. Dr. Ramos was very personable, explaining everything to me and patiently taking my questions before Ryan began my “drug drip.” Seconds later, it seemed, I woke up feeling refreshed with a better than expected report. Professionals from start to finish. Highly recommend. In 5 years, I’ll be back!"
"Doctor Ramos is very considerate. He is a listener and you feel good being with him that he is clearly concerned about you. He engages in worthwhile conversation and when you leave his office you feel your concerns have been carefully considered. Dr. Ramos is an outstanding medical professional."
"I was understandably nervous about my procedure (colonoscopy). Dr. Ramos and his team were fantastic and had great sense(s) of humor. I highly recommend them."
"It was my first appointment with Dr. Ramos to treat my heartburn and I never imagined that after having seen other doctors I could find such a professional and above all kind gastroenterologist who would take the time to talk to his patient. Thank you very much Dr Ramos, 🙏🏻 oh and an excellent and also friendly support staff 🤗"
"All of Dr. Ramos staff was very caring from the receptionist to Amanda Vitals nurse, to Nurse that gave me warm blankets I believe it was Karen and Cindy the procedure room Nurse. Not to Forget Glen the Anesthesiologist. Very nice Center ."
"I had my first visit for a colonoscopy with Dr. Ramos at TDDC. I was worried because I did not know what to expect. However, from the moment I entered the threshold each person I encountered made sure I was informed of each step. By the time I met the anesthesiologist I felt comfortable that I understood the process. Then Dr. Ramos came in and shared the last and final details and I knew I was in good hands. It was an excellent experience."
"Dr. Ramos is a wonderful doctor. He is very personable and is detailed when discussing treatment, etc. I rarely have to ask questions. I highly recommend him."
"I want to said thank you so much to Dr Ramos and his staff, I was very nervous but all nurses were very friendly and they makes me feel comfortable, Ryan (Anestesist), and Dr Ramos explained to me the procedure. Was very fast and I didn't have any complications. Again thank you so much to everyone. God bless y'all."

"I would highly recommend Dr Ramos. He was very polite & professional, while still being friendly & doing a thorough assessment. Unlike other GI doctors I’ve seen, I felt like he actually listened to my concerns. He also took the time to explain all treatment, including the rationale for any recommendations. I would 100% recommend Dr Ramos to everyone! They don’t make many doctors as great as he is!!"

"Dr Ramos is super friendly and understanding and took his time with me. I’ve been to other specialist that had the nurses do most of the work and would literally tell me my prescription and leave not even giving me 5 min of their time. Dr Ramos isn’t like that. He took the time to explain everything and gave me a chance to ask questions even joke around and tell me about himself. Super friendly doctor and seems like a legitimate great and caring guy. Definitely would recommend."

"Dr. Christopher Ramos is seriously a life saver! After many years of taking my daughter to different doctor's and getting different diagnosis and being told she needed surgery, Dr. Ramos diagnosed her with Celiac in the first 5 min's of her first consultation with him. Now we are finally on the right path to getting her healthy. Dr. Ramos has a lot of patience and explains thing's in an interesting way that even a teenager can understand. It's very obvious that he wants the best for his patients! I'm now a patient of his too. I tell everyone to go see him."

He is such a good doctor, súper kind and takes his time to explain any concern you have, you can tell he cares about his patients!"
"I wanted to share my opinion about Dr Ramos, but while reading all of the reviews I wondered what could I possibly say about this wonderful Dr.. that hasn't already been said by other patients? I moved to Keller in 2015 from Illinois. I. 2018 I needed to see a Gastronologist. My family Dr referred me to TDDC. I was fortunate enough to get scheduled with Dr. Ramos. I was very nervous and had many questions. From the start of our conversation I knew I was talking to the right Dr. By the end of our visit, I felt cared about, listened to and educated me on my concerns. He didn't rush in and out as so many Dr will do. He spent time with me and had this warmth inside of him that radiated on the outside. I since have moved from Keller and needed to have a colonoscopy. I didnt care about the number of miles I had to travel to return to Dr Ramos and his wonderful staff. I wasnt going anywhere else. If you are looking for a Dr that will take time to listen to you, who treats you as a real " person" and not like a medical chart "number" Dr Ramos is that Dr. Thank you Dr. Ramos and TDDC for caring about me."
"Dr. Ramos is the real deal. Hands down the best doctor I’ve had to oversee my healthcare. He’s a breath of fresh air. Professional, intelligent and a wealth of knowledge. If you’re looking for a top notch doctor that will take good care of you, look know further than Dr. Ramos!!"

"I was fortunate to be an early patient of Dr. Weber’s, and when he stopped seeing patients I was nervous about who my new doctor at TDDC would be. I couldn’t be more pleased with Dr. Ramos. He is extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and has a very high interest in the overall healthcare experience of the patient. I appreciate how fast he gets through “the basics” so he can focus on what the patient is dealing with, and then spend the time necessary to answer any questions or discuss my options. All the TDDC staff is great, and represents what patient care should be everywhere. Dr. Ramos is yet another example of high competency delivered with caring."

"Dr. Ramos is a great Doctor and I highly recommend him and all the staff I have been in contact with at the Alliance location. HOWEVER, not at this location is their billing department. On a scale of 1-10, my personal experience rates a ZERO! They don't return calls. Office visits may show several months later and their statements are confusing at best. I have never had issues with any other medical or non medical facility like I have with this one."
"Dr. Ramos is an exceptional gastrointestinal doctor. He recently resolved an issue I was having that I thought nobody could help with. He is the consummate professional! His follow-up is outstanding!! I highly recommend Dr. Ramos!"
