"Excellent doctor and staff."
"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!"
"Dr. Guirl was thorough and explained possible diagnosis and next steps to determine the true issue. His staff was also very friendly and helpful."
"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!

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."
"Colonoscopy went well and the office staff are professionals at getting it done efficiently. I did have problems getting down the second round of prep medicine and was later told they could give me a pill for the nausea if I had let them know ahead of time."
"Very professional and timely. Dr Guirl was friendly and put me well at ease as this was my first colonoscopy."

Dr. Guil and the pre op nurses made me feel at ease during this embarrassing process."

Medical team was knowledgable, explained everything well and were friendly and discreet. Dr. Guirl was prompt, made sure I understood procedure, great beside manner. After procedure, immediately explained any findings and I was on my way. Would definately recommend Dr. Guirl, his medical team and this facility."

I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a patient, understanding and skilled gastroenterologist."
"Great, efficient and caring doctor and all of the staff!"
"The staff was excellent and friendly."
"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 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!"

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 an appt with my regular Dr but she called and cancelled 3 days before my procedure. I had a friend recommend Dr Guirl, I called and they made my appt for 2 weeks later which in my network is unheard of theses days. Everything was relatively quick and painless. I would recommend him to anyone looking. I will return in 5 years as he advised."

This all before I even get to Dr. Girl, who just put the icing on the cake of service and expertise. When I saw that he was not the old, grey-haired, grandfatherly doc that was the cherry on the top. Lol I was there for colonoscopy and felt like I was at a class reunion. Thank you Dr. Girl and the team at Gastroenterology!!!"

"My recent colonoscopy went well, One polyp was found. I was asleep through the whole thing so I can't really comment on the procedure itself. I felt fine afterwords and a few days later got a note from Dr. Goirl restating that no problems were found. It is to be mentioned that I had to call in to remind your office that I was supposed to have a colonoscopy this year."
"I have had dozens of colonoscopies, and each time I had to jump through hoops filling out paperwork and listening to physicians. This time they made it very simple and it didn't take a lot of time. Everyone was very nice and direct. I would recommend them anytime."

I would recommend him to anyone looking. I will return in 5 years as he advised."
"The procedure was not something I was looking forward to, as I imagine many others feel as I did. I will admit, it was not a bad experience at all. Dr. Guirl and the team he has supporting him, did a wonderful job of easing my concerns before the procedure. If it's a procedure you must have done, I would without reservation recommend Dr. Guirl and his team."
"Dr.Guirl and his staff were amazing. From the pre-screening, pre-op, to anesthesia, I was informed and made to feel comfortable. Being my first colonoscopy, I was quite nervous.

I’ve had zero issues with the preliminary visits and the processes of my screenings.

I was in and out in less than an hour and woke out of the anesthesia feeling rested and ready to go! I highly recommend Dr. Guirl!!! And, beside everyone should get a colonoscopy for peace of mind…..if your feeling apprehensive about this procedure consider Dr Guirl!!!!"
"No nonsense, straight to the point, "let's take care of this," attitude. I am glad I chose this doc on my journey of GI health and well being. To bad he doesn't work on other things but he seems like the type of guy that would be glad to help you try to figure it out."
"Dr. Guirl's office has a lot going for them. First, they answer their phones, which not all offices do. Also, they have a web portal so you can get past the receptionists and straight to his nurse for a prompt response. I was able to get an appointment quickly (which is great when you're not feeling well). I found Dr. Guirl to be knowledgeable and professional. I was not thrilled to need both an upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy to help with diagnosis, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I also can't handle most anesthesia, so I had to request that my procedures be done unsedated. Dr. Guirl was okay with this, although it is uncommon. I have to say that the colonoscopy bowel prep was very difficult for me. I honestly thought I was going to pass out. But, Dr. Guirl was there on call to reassure me that I wasn't going to die when I called at 5AM the morning of my exam. So I was able to complete it with that horrible SuPrep stuff after all. The endoscopy and colonoscopy went smoothly and I was awake the whole time with no meds. The endoscopy only took a few minutes and there was a bit of gagging but no pain. It's quite an alien experience to have stuff probing around in your stomach. I was surprised at how comfortable I was during the colonoscopy! No pain whatsoever (a little discomfort that felt like gas at times) and the best part was being able to talk about my colon and watch him take biopsies as we viewed it together on the screen. So, overall it was a positive experience and I can vouch for the fact that Dr. Guirl indeed knows his stuff and can responsibly drive the endoscope (in case any of you readers need to have the same procedure and are possibly dreading it). Usually I am not fond of mega-practices that have a ton of locations because I fear that it's going to end up like McGastroenterology. However, these guys have great systems in place for follow-up, etc., so no worries there."
"Dr Guirl was super nice & understanding. Very pleasant experience."
"I have been a patient of GA Consultants for many years and when my GI symptoms worsened, I visited Dr. Michael Guirl at the Stone Oak office last week. We are waiting results of the many tests he ordered and a scan I will have tomorrow. I have confidence he will prescribe treatment to make me more comfortable. He always has. Everyone in that office is caring and efficient, and I can highly recommend Dr. Guirl as a very competent Physician who caress about his patient's well being. They are well organized and provide great medical care!"

Dr. Guirl took the time to go through everything he found in the examination and candidly gave me an assessment of my gallbladder and other areas of concern.

"Amazing experience. Very organized and efficient, everyone was great."
"Great Doctor and Staff."
"This is the 2nd time I have had a procedure done by Dr. Guirl, he and his staff put you at ease the moment you arrive. He reviewed my last visit and took time to talk to me before and after my procedure. He always follows up a couple of days later, I believe he is the best."
"Very professional and efficiently run office with friendly staff that made me felt at ease and comfortable. Dr. Guirl was very informative with an easy going demeanor. Highly recommend him."
"Love this facility, staff andDr Guirl is the best. He listens and doesn’t do things he doesn’t feel need to be done."
"Dr Guirl and his staff are always so efficient and pleasant. Everyone is so attentive and kind. At my current visit Dr Guirl took all the time needed to explain everything in terms easy for me to understand about my condition. So grateful to Dr Guirl and the entire staff."
"I saw Dr. Guirl for his input on a recently resolved but recurring problem. I went in with a full page of notes and questions outlining my concerns. He listened to my concerns, provided reassurance, and recommended a test to rule out any ongoing problem. He saw me quickly, listened thoughtfully, and was reassuring in his assessment. This was my second visit with Dr. Guirl and I highly recommend him (as well as others in this group)! I should also add that it was easier to get an appointment than I anticipated and also easier to schedule the recommended test."
"Dr. Guirl met with my wife and I during my visit and I was very impressed with his desire to listen to my current situation as well as my wife's input. He asked clear, concise questions, was gracious and humorous all at the same time. I came away from the visit with a feeling that he cared and that I will be cared for."
"As expected my return visit to San Antonio Gastroenterology went very well. My procedure started very close to my appointment time. Dr.Michael Guirl, who performed the procedure, was professional and thorough and showed real patience with my post procedure visit. I will continue to use this facility and Dr. Guirl hopefully long into the future."
"Very friendly staff and Dr Guirl was very friendly & professional as well. I felt very comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process of my Endoscopy."
"DR. GUIRL is absolutely amazing, as well as all staff at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio...they made a visit that most my age are not looking forward to, a very pleasant experience. The whole procedure process from beginning to end, so to speak, was totally with patient safety and concerns as there priority. The process was really easy and professional. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO !! I highly recommend this practice for all you Gastroenterology needs !!!"
"This was my first telemedicine appointment ever, and I am happy to say it was a very positive one. Dr. Guirl called; we discussed how I was feeling, my prescribed medication and any concerns I might have. As always, Dr. Guirl was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly."
"My experience with Dr. Guirl and his staff was great. From making the appointment until the procedure was over, the care and service they provided was top-notch. Once I arrived for my appointment, I checked in and was directed to the room to begin the preparation process. Every nurse was completely thorough in gathering my information, explaining the process and answering any questions I had. Dr Guirl and his staff were friendly, caring and very attentive.......they are without question worthy of a 5+ star rating!"
"My visit was just great. Dr explained alot to me about my condition. The only thing I have is that I got a call back from his office yesterday they left a message. I have returned the call and no call back from his office. Still no call back from his office 2nd day. Don't like that 😒😒"
"The staff are friendly, my appointment was on time. Dr. Guirl is very personable and makes sure to answer all your questions. Highly recommend him!"
"Dr Guirl and staff provided great communication and efficiency. I highly recommend!"
"Dr. Guirl was wonderful especially with getting me squeezed in due to some complications I was having. He has the best bedside manner and makes sure you’re taken care of. He assessed the situation and made a plan for us to figure out what’s going on, explains and breaks down different scenarios, including pictures, to help you understand why this could be that, ect. 5 stars is a well deserved rating for this establishment!"
"Dr Guirl performed an endoscopy and colonoscopy for me a year ago and I was pleased with the way he handled everything, including some less than ideal findings. I just returned for my one year colonoscopy. After doing much research I decided to do it without anesthesia this time. There was some brief discomfort a couple times but it went very well and Dr Guirl explained the process as we watched the scope on the monitor. I would definitely do it again without getting knocked out next time. BTW, i moved out of San Antonio since my first procedure but after looking around for a more convenient Dr and reading reviews and credentials of various doctors, I decided the trip back to San Antonio to see Dr Guirl was worth it. I was also very happy that the findings from the second colonoscopy were much much better."
"Excellent care, very efficient and timely. World Class treatment"
"The staff was very friendly and professional. Great service."
"Dr. Guirl is extremely honest and personable. He explains everything in detail and I left his office understanding everything pertaining to my health concern. I also had a procedure done and he continued to give me the same great experience. I recommend Dr. Guirl !!!! The receptionist at the check-in counter are friendly and welcoming. I feel they should be recognized too. :)"
"Dr. Guirl and his staff are top-notch in their care for patients. Having just moved to Texas and needing treatment almost immediately, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get what I needed. Dr. Guirl and his staff made the transition to his team seemless. I am ever so thankful for their sense of urgency and attention to detail."
"Dr Guirl is very friendly and personable. He makes these visits easy by conversing and explaining exactly what he is going to do. I also appreciate that he took his time to explain what could be the reasons for my symptoms. The staff is also very friendly which is equally important. So many times I have visited Doctors offices with an less than attentive and friendly staff. These types of behaviors can make or break a Doctors office as people have other choices these days."
"I have been seeing Dr. Guirl for a little over 3 years now. He is always professional and kind. He takes the time to explain things clearly and always answers my questions. He truly cares about his patients. I would definitely recommend him to anyone."
"After an in-person visit with Dr. Guirl, I scheduled a telephone consultation with him after my lab results had been posted to a confidential on-line website. During our conversation, Dr. Guirl explained his diagnosis and confirmed or corrected my own assessment of each of the test results."
"When I left Dr. Guirl's office, I felt confident that I would finally get some results for my gastro issues. Dr. Guirl didn't make any promises, but he came up with options and a plan for me. I didn't feel rushed when asking questions. Dr. Guirl, took time to explain and answer in a way that I could understand."
"My wife has been going to Dr Guirl since retiring 2013. He has provided exceptional care with her gastro issues. His staff is also top notch and responsive to our needs. Been both to the Boerne and San Antonio locations. Both are easy to get to."
"Dr. Guirl and the whole stagf are ery professional. They are very pomite a d run on time"
"Dr. Guirl was very personable and professional. He had reviewed my records from a previous doctor prior to my visit which eliminated me having to explain my history. I definitely appreciated that!"
"Dr. Guirl and GCSA staff have been there for me and my family for 12 years now. I have always had a great experience, they make sure your checkups are timely and comfortable! I would recommend GCSA and Dr. Guirl and staff for your medical needs, they will be there to support you and all of your concerns! Troy Balson"

Dr. Guirl is punctual and professional. He understands what his patients are going through. The staff he works with is great and very caring. The follow up is quick and he is very knowledgeable.

"Such a great experience and so unexpected. Dr Guirl and his nurse partner were professional, yet real and relatable. Totally will refer anyone that needs his services. TY!"
"I recently had an EDG and Colonoscopy procedure performed by Dr. Guirl. He informed me the worst part of the WHOLE thing is the PREP for the procedure! This is TRUE but it doesn't last long! The events leading up the procedure went very quickly and efficiently. The nurse completed the paperwork, another nurse started my IV and the anesthesiologists were very friendly and seemed interested in making me feel as comfortable as possible. After the procedure, Dr Guirl spent time with my husband and I and discussed his findings and biopsies taken. My husband has had several procedures by Dr. Guirl and we have always been happy with the way we were treated,"

"I have been treated here for about 2 years. Always quick on my refills and most appintments i am in and out in no time. Dr. Guirl is quick, to the point and listens to you for a proper diagnosis and great professionalism."
"Everything went exactly according to plan. I requested minimal anesthesia for several reasons and the anesthetist complied with my request. The only time I felt anything at all was when the scope went around the "corners" - the splenic flexure and the hepatic flexure. And then it was just a small "cramp." Not any real discomfort at all, but then I do have a high pain tolerance. Dr. Guirl was great, in fact EVERYBODY was great! 5 Gold stars for all!"

The Staff was very professional, friendly, and efficient and every step of the procedures were explained to me in detail. My appointment was at 11:00 AM and I arrived at 10:30 and was called for my procedure at 11:01. I have been in the business world for over 50 years and I recognize when an organization is extremely well run. Gastroenterology Consultants is such an organization. I would highly recommend both Gastroenterology Consultants AND Dr. Guirl - He is super."

Not at the same time and not with the same scope, well I was out under Anastasia, but I am confident they were not the same instrument! Seriously, their process is efficient and effective. They are respectful of your time. They get you in and out, no pun intended... They were able diagnosis my hiatal hernia and treat me with a very small pill taken once a day that has made a huge difference in life style , eating and eliminated heat burn and acid re-flux pain....I can eat salsa again!! Thanks . Greg"

"Dr. Michael Guirl and his staff at Gastroenterology Consultants are top notch. I could not recommend a better physician or clinic. They are knowledgeable, professional, and caring."
"The process and procedure went very smoothly. Everyone was very efficient and seemed to know their jobs. My problem was I woke up from the procedure with a majorly chipped front tooth and no one could tell me what happened. When I told Dr Guirl right after I woke up he looked at me condescendingly and never answered my question. I was still drugged and didn’t pursue it at that time. When I called the next work day there was nothing in my records and no one could explain. I will need to have this done again and it makes me apprehensive to go under again and not know what is being done to me."
"The experience was good, and I really like the Doc and the staff. When I received the report there was a note of diverticulosis, which was not mentioned by the doc. This left me with some unanswered questions and I found myself searching on the internet in a effort to understand the diagnosis of diverticulosis, which is not where I want to be. All and all, it was a good experience and I would go back to the same group. Doc's tend to be less than great communicators, and when one finds themself in the system, patients in America must have tolerance for these types of situations."
"Doctor Guirl and the staff of Gastroenterology Consultants are all outstanding and their commitment to being attentive professionals is second to none in San Antonio."
