"Dr. Guirl was thorough and explained possible diagnosis and next steps to determine the true issue. His staff was also very friendly and helpful."
"Dr. Guirl is fantastic. He is kind, listens well and provides solid, understandable answers to your questions. He also has a very calming and respectful demeanor. My first colonoscopy, over 25 years ago, was not performed by Dr. Guirl, AND it was a horrible experience to say the least. For instance, that doctor insisted I be awake for the procedure. For my second colonoscopy (almost 10 years ago), I went to Dr. Guirl since my husband was already a patient of his. Dr. Guirl was very re-assuring when explaining the procedure to me, and that I would not be awake! The colonoscopy went well. More recently, I saw Dr. Guirl to have a prescription refilled. (He needed to see me in-person because the prescription was several years old.) It was a relatively quick visit, but not once did I feel rushed. And, I was able to ask questions and get answers. I wish all my doctors were as great as Dr. Guirl!"
"I have been a patient of Dr. Guirl since 2010. I have a difficult illness that causes gastroperesis and esophageal atrophy, which prevent me from eating or swallowing medication! After trying to get films for over a year through my PCP, a hospital finally did them, within minutes of receiving the report Dr. Guirl was calling me and scheduling a procedure within 2 days! He listens to every concern I have, and doesn’t have that “I’M THE DOCTOR” attitude! He believes that you know your body and has always treated me like I was the only patient that matters! I now live 4 hours away, but I will never use anyone else for this issues!! Dr. Guirl is my hero!"
"Professional and informative"

Recently had to get a procedure done and from the time I got there till I left he and his staff were very professional and friendly. Everything was explained before procedure by the nurses and then again by Dr. Guirl. After procedure he came and explained all he did and then followed up with a phone call the next day. I would definitely recommend Dr. Guirl to family and friends. Thank you so much , Dr. Guirl, for you and your staffs' great care."
"Just had my third colonoscopy in as many years due to discovery of colon cancer. I would highly recommend Dr. Guirl and also highly recommend getting a colonoscopy! I had my first colonoscopy only due to another procedure I was having at the same time. That is when the colon cancer was discovered. Don't wait till it is too late. Dr. Guirl and his staff will make the procedure so easy!"

Dr. Guirl explained everything and really continued to make me feel at ease. I highly recommend this office."

"Very professional and timely. Dr Guirl was friendly and put me well at ease as this was my first colonoscopy."
"My first time visit Staff was wonderful I was in and out and had all my questions answered when I left."
"A great experience. Dr. Guirl is the absolute best. His support staff was very professional, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommended this practice."

This time I was offered pills and water which was so much better! I highly recommend this process for anyone who has a problem with the other preps! Dr. Guil and the pre op nurses made me feel at ease during this embarrassing process."

"Dr. Guirl and his staff are wonderful. They are kind, professional and attentive. I would recommend Dr. Guirl to all of my friends and family that may need his care."
"Dr. Guirl and his tech and nursing team are wonderful! A colonoscopy isn’t a comfortable procedure; anesthesia is usually in order, and one has a LOT of unpleasant prep to do before the test even starts. In my case, my ride had another emergency, so I was faced with the choice of doing all that prep AGAIN, or doing the procedure without anesthesia. I chose to go ahead and do it. I was scared to death, and feeling very alone. The folks there were so nice to me, and helped me through it every step of the way. Dr. Guirl was great too, encouraging me and explaining everything he did so as to help me through the procedure. I cannot say I recommend going without the drugs, but I got through it ONLY because of Dr. Guirl and his compassionate team. I recommend him highly and am so thankful I decided to go ahead with the test!"
"During my recent visit I was amazed by the new building, clean and welcoming , friendly receptionists, prompt and excellent service. As for, Doc Guirl such a young knowledgeable doctor. He diagnosed me with clear , precise results. We are from Laredo but prefer to travel to sna. Kudos to staff , medical assistants and doc Guirl. Doc makes me feels at ease, and I have a lot faith on him. He does not sugar coat results and works with patients. He is caring doctor and wants the best for his patients. Noteworthy my appointment was 900am and we were out in 30 min max"
"If you've never been to Gastrology Consultants of San Antonio, you might want to read my review. Dr. Guirl has always been a good listener. he has always taken good care of my GI issues/problems. I've been a patient of Dr. Guirls' for 11 years. The staff there is courteous and professional. They treat their patients with kindness and dignity from check to check out. The pre-authorization department is great with assisting any of your concerns about insurance coverage. They've grown substantially in the last 6 years. I've also seen another physician for another finding after thoroughly reading my diagnostics. P.A. Rena Patel is considerate and is a good listener as well. She's thuroufh as well and will not disappoint. My 5 star rating is genuine. Just remember you must follow their advice because it's accurate advice. You can trust that you will be in good hands with any of the physicians at GACoSA. It's worth the 1 1/2 hour drive for me, because they are that great with GI problems and diagnostics. Thank you all for taking good care of me, Gastrology Consultants of San Antonio."

"I'm an 89+ year old widow who keeps healthy by listening to my doctors. I believe my "healer" sent me to Dr. Guirl to confirm my liver, etc., is all okay since I am a hemochromatosis (a genetic disorder) patient . Dr. Guirl is definitely added to my list as a very nice and mannerly doctor who checked out all my lab work (I previously took lab results paperwork to his office for review) and will definitely add him to my "healer" list of doctors who help me stay healthy. To an elderly person like me, that's important!!"

"I fell ill November 6th and started to decline pretty rapidly to the point that I was no longer eating and could hardly swallow even water. I was in significant pain and just wanted to get back to being able to take care of my children. Dr. Guirl took my situation seriously and got me in quickly for an endoscopy to figure out what was going on. I am so grateful to him and believe he’s such a God send. He even visited me once I was admitted to the hospital. I was such an anxious wreck but he put my mind to ease that I was going to be okay. His staff is just as amazing as they checked on me almost every day and answered any questions I had. I still have a little ways to go as a few health problems kind of hit at once, but thanks to great doctors like Guirl, I have hope that this will all get better soon! I cannot recommend him enough."

The only thing I would have changed was my procedure was scheduled for 2 PM but I was all alone until I was wheeled back at 2:20 PM, a wasted 30+ minutes I could have spent with my wife stranded in the waiting room who could have been invited to my side. The procedure went without incident & Dr Guirl was there to offer a full explanation of the results. Very Professional & excellent experience overall!"
"My GI physician retired after having been our doc for decades, and he referred me to Dr. Michael Guirl who clearly has continued the very high standards I have been used to and expect.

"I have been seeing Michael Guirl M.D., at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio for several years and I could not be happier with the treatment and care that I receive. When I have an appointment with Dr. Guirl, it is never rushed as he takes his time to ask questions to provide you the best care. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I was concerned, as always, when getting a new doctor, but Dr. Guirl put me at ease and provides EXCELLENT care. When I had a procedure done I could not have had a better experience as him and his team walked me through the entire process and make sure I was comfortable before starting, kept my family up-to-date during the procedure, and provided complete post procedure care instructions. Dr. Guirl's bedside manner is the best. If you are looking for gastroenterology care, I HIGHLY recommend Michael Guirl M.D., at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio . You will not be disappointed."
"Amazing Doctor. Truly cares about his patients and tells them how it is and exactly what needs to get done. Plus, he's just extremely friendly and has a great demeanor about him. He helped motivate me to lose over 100 lbs and completely reverse my non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and any scarring. The fact that he was actually as pleased as I was with this outcome was genuinely uplifting and made my day. So if you can get in to see him (I know he is very busy) I would absolutely suggest him as your Gastroenterologist."
"I had the joy of having a colonoscopy. The staff made the experience seamless. Everyone was very professional and prompt. The whole process went smoothly.

I highly recommend Gastroenterology Consultants of SA and Dr. Guirl."
