"Dr Smith listened and explained the procedures of Colonoscopy and what to expect. I was very please after the procedure. He is certainly the one to go to. Strongly recommend."
"Dr Smith at TDDC is always thorough and takes good care of my my husband and I. Very efficient practice and we have been seeing Dr Smith for about ten or more years to handle our digestive issues. Never disappointed."
"Love Dr. Smith! He's been my gastroenterologist for several years now and his staff is amazong as well! Very attentive, courteous and professional. Have recomended severval family members and friends who feel the same way as myself AND my husband!"
"Dr. Smith & his staff did an exceptional job during my recent visit to Lonestar Endoscopy in Southlake. They were very professional & thorough, & I highly recommend their services."
"Dr. Smith’s nurse Christy helped me today in a big way. She answered all of my questions about my recent upper endoscopy and explained those things that I did not understand. She took time to listen as I expressed myself. Listening skills are so important in the medical field and I am grateful that she and Dr. Smith have those skills. Sincerely, Theresa Lines"
"The procedure went perfectly. The staff, nurses, and Dr. Smith delivered a timely, comfortable, and friendly experience. The prep was confusing. Communications, via text, phone, and email need better coordination."
"Dr Jeffrey has been my gastroenterologist for many years now. He is an amazing doctor, one who goes over and above for his patients. His bedside manner is caring and gentle, when he talks to you about your symptoms or the test he runs he makes very sure that you understand what he is saying. He is also very respectful of your feelings. I can not even begin to tell you how thankful I am to have him caring for me."
"Good first meeting. Dr Smith reviewed my case throughly and provided a treatment plan. Dr Smith took the time to answer all my questions on upcoming procedure."
"Once at the facility foe the colonoscopy everything was excellent. The only challenge I had was that the procedure was scheduled for about 3 months out and they were supposed to call in for the prep medications about 2 weeks prior to procedure day. Instead the prep medications were called in about 3 months early. So I picked them up and stored them for the 3 months. I didn't see the sequential preparation directions until I had already missed some of them. Very fortunate that this was about my 4th colonoscopy. Even though the medication and prep directions changed from what I remembered, I at least got a hold of the directions the day before. I drank about 3 times the minimum to help ensure I flushed well. This was the 1st time things fell apart prior to 1 day before procedure day. I will give Dr Jeffery Smith and Lone Star Endoscopy the opportunity to do my next one and assume this was a 1 time mishandling of the pre procedure events. As stated, once there I can't imagine any place doing as well and have as professional and personable of a team."
"I had a great, 5 star, gold star experience at Lone Star endoscopy! From the front staff, nurses and Dr Smith they were all professional, knowledgeable and friendly"
"Every person was pleasant. They took care of me very well. Dr Smith came to recovery and told me about the results. I would give a great review. Thanks."
"Dr. Smith’s office made and appointment, in short notice, for me and were very personable. Dr. Smith spent a great deal of time with me getting the history of my health problem. He explained thoroughly what my tests indicated the problem might be and what the next steps would be. He had put my mind at ease before I left his office."
"Each nurse and technician I dealt with seemed very personable, capable and professional. Did not have to wait more than a few minutes in waiting room or anywhere else throughout my procedure. Dr. Smith is also a true professional. Highly recommend."
"This was my first appointment with Dr. Smith. I was brought back in a timely fashion and the medical assistant Hilario was very pleasant. So far everything is good at this office."
"The endoscopy was actually a non event. All of the nursing staff were great and took excellent care of me throughout the entire procedure. I was surprised to find a card in my discharge packet that was signed by all of the nurses, anesthesiologist and Dr. Smith."
"I am extremely pleased with the service and professionalism I received from all the staff. And would highly recommend this doctor and his clinic. Sincerely Jack"
"I was skeptical about this office because when I first started trying to schedule my appointment no one answered the phone . It was always an answering machine and you have to leave a message and they call you back. When they would try to call me back it would go straight to my voice mail for some reason. So we played phone tag for a couple of weeks. Finally go my appointment scheduled and let me tell you this office is top notch. I will never go to a different place than this for any test I have to have done. Everyone is very upbeat, polite, reassuring and down to earth. I was very worried until they called me back and everyone was so comforting. They are quick and well organized. Definitely a good place to go!!!!!"
"My EGD and colonoscopy were smooth from the beginning to the end. The reception nurse was helpful checking me in, the prep nurse was professional, and Dr Smith came by to discuss the procedure and my previous test results before and the procedure was good. I thank all of them especially Dr Smith for his care."
"I really liked the staff. I didn’t like the whole checking process. I had to do all the work. At one point I thought I would have to do my own colonoscopy! I found the text message reminders excessive. Once I was in for the procedure I felt well taken care of. Dr Smith answered all my questions. I hope he doesn’t retire before I have to come back in 5 years."
"This was my 1st time to see Dr. Smith, during my visit at least 5 different people handled me through the process….each and every person was informative and very much cared about me as a patient. Dr Smith was wonderful, he was very knowledgeable and articulate which helped me understand everything I needed to know. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and Lone Star Endoscopy!"
"Attending nurses were extremely pleasant and comforting, I felt very much at ease, Dr. Smith and the anesthesiologist were both vey informative and pleasant to communicate with. I felt little very little stress if any at all about the whole process and procedures."
"Love the technology of checking in, verifying health history, etc. cut down on wait time to see Dr. Smith. The team recognized the importance of the patient’s time. Dr. Smith spent uninterrupted time with me discussing my conditions and answering my questions."
"Dr Smith and all his staff were professional and reassuring during my procedure. I was cared for and advised what to expect through the whole process. I would definitely recommend."
"Excellent staff, friendly, competent and helpful. Each person explained their role and the process. Casual but professional. I liked how I was treated."
"Great Staff, I did Not have any anxiety while at this office. Everyone was very soothing including Dr. Smith and kept me calm throughout my procedure. Recovery also called and checked on me the day after procedure. Thank you to ALL."
"I’ve been treated by Dr. Smith since 2007. He has removed many polyps from my colon and has definitely saved me from colon cancer. I trust him completely."
"I have been seeing Dr Smith for many years now and have always been very comfortable talking to him about my symptoms and concerns. He would walk me through my questions and wanted to ensure I was comfortable and understand the plan moving forward. Would definitely recommend him!!!"
"The staff, all that had a hand in my care the day of my colonoscopy (first time!) were absolutely first class. I felt informed and comfortable throughout. Dr. Smith was also very gracious with his time before the procedure and made me feel no worries."
"Dr. Smith and his team always put me at ease before my procedure. After in the recovery area they continue to take great care of me. They send you home with pictures, information and a thank you note signed by Dr. Smith and his team. Highly recommend!"

Going to the doctor’s office is not my most favorite thing to do, and this team had me in and out on schedule, that is really a plus for me. Highly recommended physician and practice."
"Dr Smith did an initial visit to determine my condition and did an upper endoscopy. Since then he does not make me come in for a Dr appt each time I need a treatment - wasting my time and money. I just call and schedule the procedure. Everyone at his office and at the surgical center are super nice."
"Highly recommend Dr Jeffrey Smith. He has been my gastroenterologist for 12 plus years. I feel like I am listened to and heard with him! He genuinely cares about his patients and I trust him and his recommendations for my health care. He has helped me resolve several issues over the years and of course was my go to when something arose and also needed my next colonoscopy. His staff are exceptional as well! No problems from the time I set up the appointment and thru the insurance process as well. His surgical place was amazing as well !

"My actual procedure was wonderful. They really have thought out all the steps for your comfort. I have some issues with the communication before and after the procedure. I had to call for the prep script and when I called to confirm my reports were sent two of my doctors that requested the reports, I still have not heard back from them. Of course I can make copies, but Lone Star said they would follow up with my requests. Now I need to follow up on my own."
"Dr. Smith is very thorough, has excellent bedside manner and makes you feel very comfortable for your procedure. He allows you to ask any questions that you might have and make sure that you fully understand the process of your procedure."

"My experience at Lone Star Endoscopy was great. All the staff were very friendly and very professional. They were cheerful and caring. Dr. Jeffrey Smith was thorough and informative. I think his theme song should be the Beatles song I'll Get You. With the Lyrics: So I'm telling you, my friend that I'll get you, I'll get you in the End oh yeah, oh yeah. It's not like me to pretend but I'll get you, I'll get you in the End yes I'll get you in the End oh yeah oh yeah. I had a very satisfied experience at this location. Thanks to all of you! H. Michael Brooks"

"I first met Dr. Jeffrey Smith, a gastroenterologist at TDDC, in 2004. I went for my first colonoscopy. After meeting him and discussing the procedure I felt very confident in his abilities and concern for his patients. Immediately following the procedure he explained to me that he would have to send a biopsy for further examination. A few days later Dr. Smith contacted me by phone and confirmed the fear that a tumor in the terminal ilium was malignant.At the time very few gastroenterologists were examining that area. Dr. Smith literally saved my life and I will be forever grateful. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith and the staff at TDDC to anyone. After my experience I strongly believe in routine colonoscopies on a regular basis."

"Dr. Smith is thorough, professional and extremely knowledgeable. His diagnoses and true concern for me as a person/patient is comforting. I know I am in the most capable care of all.
