"Always a great experience!!!"
"Dr. Piesman is a wonderful doctor. Very compassionate and just an all around great doctor."
"I found Dr. Piesman and the staff to be very caring and professional"
"I was treated extremely well. The facility was really nice and clean and modern. Everyone was really nice and had a nice demeanor. All of my questions were answered. Everyone treated my wife with the same courtesy."
"The office was efficient and my appointment was on time. Dr. Piesman was thoughtful, considerate and worked with me to select the best course of action."
"I recently had an endoscopy here, done by Dr. Michael Piesman. Dr. Piesman has been my gastroenterologist for many years, and I am always very pleased with my experiences here, including both endoscopies and colonoscopies. This recent experience was, essentially, just as good. However, this time I was definitely NOT pleased with the front desk. The young lady who was manning it truly acted as though it was a real inconvenience to check people in…and not just me. This was so notable because I had never experienced this kind of attitude here before. I want to emphasize that every single other employee with whom I had contact that day were as pleasant and professional as always, making for yet another pleasant treatment experience."
"Dr Piesman has always been a considerate and caring Doctor. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and then does what will work best for the patient. I highly recommend him and his practice."
"Dr. Piesman is a Doctor that makes me feel that he is listening to every word Im saying. It’s a pleasure going to my appointments and the staff is just as caring and friendly."
"Dr. Piesman and his office were wonderful. They made me feel comfortable going through my first colonoscopy."
"Dr. Piesman was on time and took his time answering all my questions and didn't rush me. I am proud that he is my doctor. Very kind and respectful and didn't want to put thru test that were not needed. Would recommend him ."
"I was seen promptly. Dr. Piesman listened carefully to my concerns, and scheduled the tests necessary to check out my issues. He was very personable and professional."
"Dr. Piesman explains things very well. I had a colonoscopy last year; however, circumstances changed and I needed another colonoscopy ASAP. I feel so blessed that the office staff were able to work me in quickly."
"Dr. Piesman is an excellent Doctor, takes time to listen, clearly explains what is going on, provides treatment options but is respectful of your decisions. Takes time to answer questions. Have referred family members who are also very happy with his care."
"I really liked Dr. Piesman and I am glad that I was referred to him by another doctor. Dr. Piesman got my endoscopy done before I left town on a trip. The thing I liked the best was that he respected my thoughts on my health, even if he may not have agreed. My only complaint was that I felt rushed in my initial appointment and forgot a few other things I wanted to tell him. Other than that, I am very satisfied and look forward to discussing other aspects of my health with him."
"it was ok"
"Great staff. Super friendly. Got in timely."
"Dr Piesman is very personable, caring, & very knowledgeable. He’ll bend over backwards to help you out"

"Dr. Pressman and staff are the best..."
"Being a manly man, I was scared to death of this procedure. The Doc and his staff were awesome! They told me exactly what to expect and were ready to answer all my questions."
"This is my second routine colonoscopy and I had a previous upper GI procedure performed by Dr Piesman and Gastroenterology Consultants. All my experiences have been exemplary, from the reception desk through discharge from the Recovery Room. Everyone was efficient, courteous and professional. The current procedure involved Dr. Piesman, a CRNA and a gastroenterology technician. They all were professional and made me feel very comfortable . Dr Piesman spoke to me before the procedure. I don’t remember anything after being anesthetized. Dr Piesman spoke to me and my wife in the Recovery area just before being discharged. He was very thorough and explained what the procedure revealed. In my case the exam was normal. Dr Piesman and his staff were excellent and they provided excellent care. I would highly recommend him and Gastroenterology Consultants."
"Outstanding professionalism and customer service!"
"Fantastic doctor! He is so professional, caring, and kind but unfortunately, some of the front desk staff is severely lacking! The lady at the front desk checking patients in,I believe her name tag said Alexandria S (heavyset brunette lady, maybe early-mid 40s) on Tuesday 3/19/24, has an incredibly flat affect and horrible tone when greeting and interacting with paying patients! She acted like she was doing all of us there a grand favor by checking us in. I get she might have been having a tough day (it is the medical field) but come on. Office management please address this ASAP! If your doctors weren’t so amazingly wonderful I would switch practices immediately! I receive warmer treatment from the teenagers working at Chick-fil-A! This really makes your entire group/practice look bad because she is the face of it. UNBELIEVABLE!"
"I want to thank Dr. Piesman and his staff for their professionalism and commitment to making sure I was in good hands. I was a bit nervous having a colonoscopy and an endoscopy, to remove a stent in my bile duct I had for close to two years. Recently, in Dec. 2024 I had an emergency removal of two massive hernias which were blocking my intestines. So yes I was a bit nervous. My fears were quickly dismissed with Dr. Piesman and his wonderful team. Thank you Lord Jesus for these Doctors and Nurses. Continue blessing them in their work and blessing them who need comfort and assurance."
"All around Awesome! From the time of checking in to the time of being, the final steps interview before the procedure was easy and professional. The back staff provided excellent service, excellent treatment, creating a very pleasant environment. The anesthesiologist got the job done I don't remember much after her. After the procedure doctor provided me a very informative outcome of the results. I'd like to thank everyone for making this a positive experience for something that's not normally looked at as positive."
"Very personable and thorough. I’ve been seeing Dr. Piesman for 10 years . I’ve seen another gastroenterologist before, but will not go to anyone other than Dr. Piesman now."
"This was the best experience I could ask for for a colonoscopy. They took me in early, finished quickly with no problems and even jump started my car at the end! Anyone needing this kind of procedure, I highly recommend Dr Piesman and his staff!!"
"Dr. Piesman and team are extremely efficient. From the moment you enter their facility you can tell the admin staff through to the professional nursing and physicians staff are all well trained. Concern ABOUT YOU is what they show and strive for. Adjunct providers (anesthia) are on the same wave length. Dr. Piesman presented himself very positively and answered any question I had for him readily. This is THE TEAM to go to!"
"I really appreciated the time Dr. Piesman took to listen to my problem and to explain how we could approach a solution. He was very personable and patient, I would highly recommend him."
"Not all GI Docs are created equal. I was extremely fortunate to see Dr. Peisman for a second opinion. He figured out my problem and might well have saved my life. I cannot say enough great things about him. I wish there were more like him but thank God he's out there helping people."
"I enjoyed my consultation with Dr. Piesman; he talks to you like he's a great friend, plus he's funny! My over all experience with the staff on my last visit was incredibly comforting. Every single person not only greeted me but made sure I was good!"

"I recently consulted with Dr Piesman for the first time, after being cared for by Dr Hearne for many years for what they tell me is a rather unusual problem, which has recently added some complexity. Dr P patiently listened to my long winded version, examined me, and outlined a treatment plan that made perfect sense. Then he listened to my innumerable questions (Job comes to mind). I feel very comfortable and grateful in his care"

My experience at Dr. Piesman facility was comfortable and calming... after doing that horrible prep. I will only be going back to him for any Gastro issues."
"My colonoscopy was setup via my primary care physician for routine detection and prevention. I was able to set this procedure up without an appointment with Dr. Piesman, which is great for saving time. GCSA has a fantastic facility at 35&Toepperwein. My procedure was early in the morning and the entire procedure moved quickly and efficiently. The doctors, nurses and support staff were all fantastic.

"Dr Piesman treats me with a lot of care. He's very skilled and efficient and I would highly recommend him."
"Dr. Piesman is great. Wished the initial staff were more understanding. I made sure to take my 2nd dose at the correct time (4:15am) and of course my body stayed awake up to appt time +. I was handed paperwork to complete. I was lucky to focus on anything but I did it. So I go sit down to hurry up and wait, sleep deprived & irritable. Finally get called back by a mispronounciation of my name. She takes my weight and asked me every question from my paperwork while she is holding it in her hand! I asked what was the point in asking as it is all there in her hand. She asked just what is my problem. Whoa. I remind her she is speaking to a patient who is sleep deprived & irritable. It did not phase her. After being released from her it was such a nice difference all the way."
"The prep for this procedure is awful. The stuff you have to force down you to clear out your system tastes disgusting .. nearly vomited it all back up it was that bad. After that, the procedure was a breeze in comparison. Wish more info had been given to me about the effect of the anesthetic and the things to avoid doing after it. Dr Piesman was great."
"When I first arrived I signed in and receptionist was on phone. I sat and watched others walk in and be greeted and handed the form to fill out. I still hadn't been called up so I went up and was told she lost my sign up slip and gave me my paperwork. Once I got my paperwork done I was called to the back and was asked questions and was told to put my gown on and wait til I was taken back for procedure. 1 hour after I was scheduled for my procedure, I was taken back. Everyone was very nice and helpful, explained what they were going to do and I felt comfortable and being taken care of. Really the only down side is I don't like being told to be there 30 min before my appt, being overlooked and then waiting over an hour to get the procedure done. I would have appreciated being told if there's a problem with their schedule and not just overlooked as far as my time."
"Dr. Peisman was a long-time patient to my brother-in-law who passed away a few days ago from esophageal cancer. The thing that makes this doctors special is that he possesses a considerate, compassionate and loving heart. He took the time in visiting with us and explaining things to us after the procedures. During this difficult time Dr. Piesman personally took the time to call a family member. I highly recommend Dr. Piesman for his compassion and his humanity."
"I was referred to Dr. Piesman by my pcp after having acute pancreatitis with pain that wouldn't go away. I had a telemedicine visit with him first and he prescribed a medication to see if symptoms would resolve and indicated I would need an endoscopic procedure done. After my symptoms did not resolve completely he scheduled the endoscopy the following week which was amazing because those procedures are hard to fit in since they're done in the hospital. I had my endoscopy done and Dr. Piesman was extremely nice but professional and reassuring. I was nervous but he put me at ease. After my procedure I was told I had gerd, the beginning of fatty liver, a hiatal hernia, and barrett's esophagus which is a pre cancerous condition. I'm only 36 and am so happy my pcp referred me to the best gastroenterologist in San Antonio TX. Without Dr. Piesman I would've never known about these other conditions. Now with work to put in of course I can be cognizant of my conditions and make better life choices. I'll have an endoscopy yearly and a medication I'll take daily. I highly recommend Dr. Piesman for any gastrointestinal issues. He's very pleasant, professional, and truly the best in his field."

"Can't say enough about the extreme caring and professionalism of Dr Piesman and the entire staff at Gastroenterology Consultants of SA. A colonoscopy is vitally important and should not be put off. Of the ones I've had in the past this was the most stress free. Dr. Piesman and all the techs put you at ease. They explain the process and make sure you have no questions before starting. Once in recovery Dr Piesman will go over the results, ask if you have questions, and hand you a copy of the procedure and results. Will definitely be back and highly recommend Dr Piesman for your procedure. Even the moviprep mixture is easier than in the past. One suggestion I found is using a straw to drink the prep really helps."
