"I had a good experience going to see Dr. Donna McMyler. She listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable. The staffs at the reception desk were also very warm and welcoming. I am glad I found this place."
"My experience with Dr. McMylar was excellent. The office offices a screening questionnaire to determine whether or not an office visit is required prior to a screening procedure. Dr. McMylar recommended an endoscopy to me as well as a colonoscopy based on prior and family history. She explained the realist thoroughly and was quite prompt in forwarding the lab results. I deducted one star because I think we should be offered a selection of preparatory products and not just one whose only commendation was that "it lets you drink less." Well, it doesn't because you have to keep drinking more clear liquids right up to quitting time. The pharmacy they use is good and advised me that I could save 40% by buying it direct instead of going through my insurance - that was a plus. Prep for these procedures is never pleasant, but next time I will request a different med."

The medical staff were incredibly supportive and ensured that I was comfortable throughout the entire process."

The last place I went I always waited on Dr over an hour while I lay there frightened to death. If you have to have it done DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE--been there done that--this is the place to go. Dr very very nice and they don't make you go for pre and post op office visits like the others do."
"Dr. McMyler is fantastic - she was right on time for my procedure, pre-briefed me thoroughly on what to expect, and really quick to give me her post-procedure impressions and recommendations.

"The procedure (Colonoscopy) was timely From the time I walked in to the time I walked out. The team was knowledgeable and competent. They were expecting me, and each member knew what to do and instructed me as to what was going on. Of course, the worse part of the procedure was the day before with the prep. However, doing it right, made the procedure a success, and had no issues the next day. At the end, Dr. McMyler went through the entire results with pictures and explanation, I'm not say I enjoyed it, but it was necessary, and the whole team made it as simple and efficient as possible, I highly recommend them."

"Dr. McMyler and staff took great care of my mom (Nellie C.). Her office was very busy, so there was an initial wait time, but the staff was very communicative. Dr. McMyler is very kind, compassionate, & thorough. She was meeting my mom for the first time after a 2 month hospitalization, and took the time to go over the details.

"Dr. Donna McMyler and team are awesome! Thank you"
"Everyone very professional. Awesome place to visit.."
"Dr McMyler and all staff were absolutely fantastic!"
"Getting a colonoscopy is one of my least favorite things to do mostly because in the past the prep was just not fun. However, my experience with Dr. McMyler this time around was much easier and better than past times with others. The prep was easy to do. The check in process was quick, and the whole process moved like a well oiled machine. Quick preliminary processes with all needed information given, out in seconds and woke up quickly after procedure and did not feel groggy from the anesthesia. Dr. McMyler let me know results right away and sent me home with copies of the results. I can't say enough about how professional all the staff were. Highly recommend Dr. McMyler if you are in need of this potentially life saving procedure."
"Have used their services for years. Dr McMyler and the staff are all top notch. Services are organized, nursing are professional and it all runs like a well oiled machine. Dr McMyler is very informative and I enjoy being her patient. Both of my parents had colon cancer and I feel comfort having her as my doctor."
"Dr. McMyler is professional and thorough. She took the time to explain the importance stuff and was compassionate in providing care. She is direct with a great bedside manner.

"Dr McMyler is an amazing physician. Her bedside manner is 2nd to none. She sat with me after the procedure for at least 20 minutes explaining exactly how my procedure went, what to expect in the future and answered all my questions. Not once did I ever feel like she was in a hurry to get to the next patient. She will continue to be my physician as long as I can see her."
"Great first experience! Dr. McMyler was great!!"
"I had an excellent experience with Dr. McMyler and Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio. When I realized my colonoscopy was due and I'd already met my deductible for the year, the staff went above and beyond to get me in before Christmas. They helped me get all the paperwork completed well in advance. I spent exactly ZERO seconds sitting in the waiting room after I arrived! I spent about TWO minutes waiting in the next room before I was called for the procedure. The staff here is so good at what they do, working as a team to explain the process, the instructions, the risks, etc. The next thing I know, I was waking up and being shown the photos of my procedure and reassured that all was well. Because of Dr. McMyler and the staff, this procedure was barely a blip in my week and they made it easy to take care of really important preventive care that can be less than fun. Glad I got it taken care of."
"All went very well. Everyone was polite and courteous."

"Everyone was nice and friendly! The only issue was the long wait before being called back and then another long wait to have the procedure done."
"Dr. McMyler and the staff at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio were excellent. The procedure was over before I knew it. Dr. McMyler explained what she found and what she extracted during the colonoscopy. The follow up included an interpretation of the pathology report. My only negative comment would be that the entire pathology report should be made accessible to the patient, not just a summary. Some of us are able to understand scientific/technical language."
"Dr. McMyler is a very competent and involved doctor. She covered all possibilities of my pain issues and promptly followed up on resolving the issues. She is knowledgeable and experienced, prompt and professional. I highly recommend her and am pleased to have her as my doctor."

Would highly recommend especially if you’re a female who desires a female physician. You’re in good hands"
"I recently changed GI docs to Gastroenterology SA and Dr McMyler based on a recommendation from my Family Practice doc. I have found her to be personable, plain spoken and no nonsense when discussing my various GI issues and found that to be a welcome change. If you are looking for a GI doc, I highly recommend her."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Donna McMyler since May, 2009. I trust her implicitly not just because she is a great doctor, but because she is caring and professional. As a person who is not expressly overly fond of doctors, Dr. McMyler has made every visit, whether office or procedure, extremely calming. My most distinct favorable trait is the fact she listens. During the pandemic, I was severely sick. I had extreme nausea, severe stomach and bowel pain, as well as green feces. Dr. McMyler was sympathetic and told me not to worry. Following a home stool study test, I was diagnosed with Adult RSV. Once again, Dr. McMyler prescribed the right medicine. Within two weeks, my system was back to normal. Dr. McMyler and her staff are courteous, professional, attentive, and caring. I have recommended her to several friends, and they, too, have become long-standing patients. If you are suffering from any type of stomach, bowel, or colon problem, I highly recommend Dr. McMyler. You will not be disappointed."
"My care given to me by Dr. Mcmyler and her staff has been exemplary. I have nothing but the up most respect for their hole practice."
"Dr. McMyler and her staff were friendly and professional."
"I’ve always used Donna McMyler, MD for any gastro issues and regular checkups including Colonoscopies. This is for my wife as well. She’s a very caring physician with an absolute genuine & friendly bedside manner, plus a excellent physician. I would recommend her and her group to anyone. Danny Pierce"
"The doctor and staff was excellent. Very kind and great bedside manner."
"My 1st colonoscopy was done on March 24, 2022. Dr. McMyler had a nice bed side manner before and after. A few days prior to the procedure, I received related calls, texts and emails to ensure I was on track with the preparation. I was a little nervous that I called to ensure I was doing everything right. Her staff was always pleasant. Yep, the drink is weird (like funky kool-aid), and the "going" is like a bad food experience at NIOSA. Worst part (for me), was feeling so terribly thirsty bf the procedure so we took a huge thermos of iced water for me to gulp after. Advice: GET IT DONE, don't wait, no excuses and do it early in the morning if you can, but don't let that stop you either. Today, I feel better that it's over with. Thank you to Dr. McMyler and her staff, who were super kind and patient and I'll see you guys in 10."
"Although I was nervous about my first procedure, the staff was very understanding and reassuring as they helped me through the whole process! Thank you To Dr McMyler and all of the staff!"
"Posting on behalf of my mother. She had a scheduled appt in June at Gastrocon San Antonio and somehow she got rescheduled to Aug and we weren't notified. The doc she was scheduled with was out that day and since she was already prepped, Dr. McMyler stepped in to do the procedure so we weren't inconvenienced further. She was very professional and personable. Qualities you need when dealing with anything medical. I'm thankful that my mom's experience was a good one with Dr. McMyler. Mistakes happen but I'm happy to say they owned it and rectified the situation. Thank you."
"The most horrible experience in my life to try to schedule an appointment ! ! After my assistant waiting on line for 50 minutes she was told she could not schedule for me because of Hippa. On my return out of the country I called and after waiting 35 minutes I finally got a scheduling person only to be put on hold and then disconnected. I called again only to start the wait and process all over again but they refused to schedule because I did not have my Medicare Humana info on me although I told them it was the same thing as when she did my surgery. So I asked to speak to the doctor or her assistant and was told that they do not return calls and CANNOT speak to them. So I will go to an emergency room and obviously search for another doctor."
"I had a recent doctor visit over the phone and found it to be convenient, more efficient and very helpful. Hopefully, Dr Meyers offers this service even after this pandemic is over."
"They are the Chick Fil A of colonoscopy! Super efficient and well run!"
"This was the easiest experience ever. It’s done before you know it! Fast, efficient, courteous!!"
"Everyone was very nice and explained the procedure well. Dr. McMyler was amazing! Very friendly and informative. A true professional with an excellent bedside manner."

"The staff was very friendly and professional especially when I told them I didn’t have my license or a credit card to pay. I was told not to worry and I could pay on line. My visit with Dt. McMyler was great. She listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable when I asked questions. I found my wallet after my appointment and when I went inside to pay I was greeted by name. Sorry, I didn’t get the young ladies name, she assisted me when I first got there, but she was so friendly and kind."
"Great staff very friendly. They take care of you!"
"everyone was so nice and easy going. made me fell very at ease and welcomed."
"My appointment was on the phone due to our new norm. I was worried because sometimes communication can be difficult when you can't see if the other person understands. My fear was silly, because Dr McMyler seemed to understand my problems and explained what the course of treatment would be, very nicely. It is hard when you haven't met the person face to face, but I felt good about the experience."
"I’ve had 2 successful colonoscopies, done by Dr. McMylar. From the time I called scheduling, until I left recovery, every staff member was professional, courteous. helpful and accommodating. Dr. McMylar makes me feel valued as her patient."
"My gastro appointment did not begin well. It was drastically delayed and for that, I was a little irritated. When my name was finally called, I noticed the staff was very professional and proficient. They quickly took my vitals and led me to my bed to get undressed and get an IV. Shortly thereafter, I was rolled over to the procedure room. Dr. McMyler introduced herself and I promptly informed her I was a little angry. Her excellent bedside manner kicked in immediately! She was not above explaining what had happened and apologizing! From there it was smooth sailing with the exception of the anesthesia! That stuff really burned. So much in fact that I screamed a little twice. The anesthesiologist just held my hand and said the burning would soon stop. Well, it did because the next thing I knew, I was in recovery. Dr. McMyler was there and she told me her findings before telling me I could get dressed. Very professional, excellent staff and bedside manner! Would I go back? Absolutely!"

The anesthesia folks calming and easy to talk to. Dr. McMyler is wonderful. She took time to talk to me before and after the procedure.

They calmed my nerves because I was very nervous and they also reassured me. Dr. McMyler told me you will see me when you shut your eyes and when you wake up lol.. I said ok and that’s exactly what happened when I awoke. Definitely recommend her and her Team. I promise from my experience you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Dr. McMyler!!"

She attentively listened to my concern and asked several probing questions that caused me to think she really heard me. She explained the process and even billing concerns. Finally, I would be remissed if I didn't mention her medical team; EVERYONE was courteous (which is a rare find). From check-in to check-out... it was a great experience!"
"First impressions of Dr McMyler and staff were very positive. The staff could not have been any nicer to me. Each person was professional and personable. I felt confident each person knew their job very well. Dr McMyler is a very compassionate doctor that truly cares about her patients. She ensured I was completely informed of each step of the prep and what the procedures would entail. After the procedure Dr Myler came in and gave me full report. I was able to leave knowing everything was healthy. The anesthesiologist was very reassuring that the correct type of medication would be used and I would be able to walk out the building on my own. I truly recommend this facility and especially Dr McMyler. By Vivian Stoltz 2-4-2021"
"Nice place!"
"I have nothing but good things to say about the front desk, nursing staff and Dr. McMyler at Gastroenterology Consultants. As a first timer, they put me totally at ease and made me feel comfortable, physically and mentally, during the whole process. They do hundreds of procedures a week but somehow manage to make you not feel like a number. It’s the human touch that truly makes this operation special and I can’t thank them enough. My message to this group is: Keep up the awesome job that you do. Your job is so, so important. As the husband of a colon cancer conqueror, you (each one of you) are our protectors from an enemy we cannot see. With much respect and love., John Allgeier"
"Dr McMyler and the entire staff at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio did a great job during my recent colonoscopy. From the moment I walked into the building I never had any concerns about my safety. Everyone was wearing a mask. The staff were friendly and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. Dr. McMyler was friendly and professional at the same time and had a great bed-side manner!"
"Dr. Mc Myler is a true patient advocate. Aside from being an excellent listener, her follow up care and staff are phenomenal. It’s rare to find a doctor and an office that both operate well, but they do. Things to note: she’ll push through the visit very quickly so be prepared and double down/advocate if you think something needs more attention. Also, there have been a few visits where things we have discussed don’t get executed correctly(forgotten prescription fill, prior authorization on requested care). Be sure to follow up and self advocate as she can move quickly through an appointment and some things may get lost along the way. If there are any mistakes, however, she and the staff correct them very quickly and efficiently. All around, excellent doctor, excellent staff!!"

When I went upstairs to get ready for the procedure,my two nurses Joetta and Brett didn't know anything about the delay and Dr.McMyler was running only about 15 minutes behind which was great for me!

I wanted to know how many times she had actually nicked or punctured a colon while doing the colonoscopy and she told me. I’m uneasy with having them due to my best friend being in a nursing home, due to a doctor in Amarillo puncturing her colon and sending her home, poisoned her whole body, which causes a massive stroke that has left her 100 lifeless!"
"Dr. McMyler is a very professional caring physician that makes each visit a pleasure regardless of the situation. She is extremely thorough and detailed in explaining my conditions. I plan to continue seeing her as long as necessary, which in my case is probably for many years to come even though now my visits do not have to be very frequent. I totally recommend her to anyone needing the specialty areas she provides. I also want to add that all the staff at the clinic are very friendly and helpful."
"I could not be more happy. Dr. McMyler has excellent bed site manner and treats you as the only patient she treats. Many doctors appear warn out and want to rush through your visit NOT her.
