"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."

"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 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 ."
"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."

"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."
"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."
"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!!"
"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."
"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."

"Dr Piesman is professional and takes time to listen to my chronic problems. He is straight and to the point, which I appreciate. I look forward to our next scheduled appointment."
"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."
"The Dr and the nurses were all very kind and answered all my questions..thank you"

"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).

He has encouraged me to participate in a research study because I have a fatty liver that concerns both of us. I am so glad to have a doctor that not only takes care of me but also my husband.

"This was my very first time getting a colonoscopy. Mind you I suffer from anxiety the nurses and staff were very nice and made you feel at ease. Dr Piesman was awesome."
"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. I highly recommend Dr. Piesman and the entire group at GCSA. Thanks for making this entire process easy on the patient."
"Dr. Piesman has a wonderful bedside manner ...treats you as you are his only patient. He is very knowledgeable and tells you everything you want to know. 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."
"Dr. Piesman was great and very informative. I would recommend him to everyone I know."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"Dr. Piesman always comes to my rescue! He truly has so much care, empathy and professionalism with his patients. He has made a huge difference in my health. I am so grateful for Dr. Piesman!!"
"Excellent Patient care. The staff were outstanding and professional. I would recommend and also return for treatment etc. Thanks ."
"I had a tele conference call with Dr. Piesman. He is a very comfortable person to talk to and took his time with questions and explanations. I felt very comfortable talking with him."
"I had a telemed conference with Dr piesman on December 18th 20/20 very good doctor in fact he is the one I want to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy procedure on myself I would prefer this guy to anyone he seems like a stand-up doctor and knows his stuff when it comes to Gastroenterology yep going to make an appointment with him"
"From the second I walk in the door to the greeting of the customer service personnel. to the back area the staff is amazing very cheerful and very grateful that make you feel very comfortable and relax as possible it is my first experience ever been there I would definitely go back keep up the great work thank you Dr.Piesman MD and Staff be safe and God bless.."
"The Staff was courteous. Dr. Piesman squeezed me in for an appointment, due to the seriousness of my symptoms, when the next appointment wasn’t until November. This confirmed in my mind that Dr. Piesman cares about his patients. Upon meeting him, he was very personable. His confidence and honest demeanor put me at ease in the face of my health issue. I believe him to be trustworthy. He personally called me to discuss lab findings and to reassure me we would discuss a treatment after my upcoming procedure. There was a slight hiccup with getting my benefits loaded in the system (billing department), but that was quickly resolved and a slight hiccup where all my lab orders were not transmitted over to Quest which delayed my blood draw about 10 minutes, but that was also resolved fairly quickly. Overall I am very pleased and pretty confident Dr. Piesman will diagnose and help me resolve my medical issue. I appreciate his straight forward approach!"
"My son Ben recently had an appointment with Dr. Piesman and his patient care is truly outstanding! He is compassionate, understanding and thorough in his examinations. Without reservation I highly recommend Dr. Michael Piesman when you are in need of a top rate gastroenterologist."
"Fantastic visit. This was the first visit to Dr. Piesman. He was an exceptional, energetic professional. He took his time to get acquainted and review my tests. His examination was thorough and detailed. His explanations and recommendations were outstanding. Great personality and friendly professional staff made this visit an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Dr. Piesman and Gastroenterology Associates."
"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."
"A very comfortable environment in their office. All of the staff was super nice. Dr. Piesman is a gentleman and a scholar. I needed a follow on procedure and he went the extra mile to personally search out the most qualified surgeon and called me directly to discuss his decision with me. Great bedside manner, heck of a nice guy."
"Dr. Piesman shows real concern for his clients. He gave me numerous suggestions to help with my digestion.as you age your digestion changes and he is a great Gastro Doctor who cares."
"This was the best colonoscopy ever. Highly recommend. Too bad I have to wait 10 years to go again!! I’d give it 10 stars if I could."
"Dr.Piesmsn is curious. He makes you feel at home. The staff is friendly. The doctor's assistant seems happy to be working there and passes her attitude to the patients."
"Nothing frightens me more than entering a medical experience, I know nothing about. That's how I felt when I learned I had to have a colonoscopy done. Arriving at Dr. Piesman's office left me speechless, what a fine ordered establishment they have. You have a choice of anesthesia you want, you go in to the exam room and you take a nap. I woke up in the dressing room feeling refreshed with no side effects of any kind. Reading my diagnosis taught me several important lessons: Diverticular disease is a very common disease that affects 75% population and usually has no symptoms until there is a problem. I know many people who have Diverticular disease, did not get it treated and when it became painful, surgery had to preformed, resulting in removing parts of your intestines and having a colostomy bag. My advice, go get the colonoscopy as a wellness procedure, most insurance companies cover it. If the procedure is medical, than this is more important for you, something was found!! I thank Dr. Piesman and his excellent teammates for the important, preventive work they do every day. I will not be doubting anymore, in fact I am so thankful and relieved I moved forward in my journey of continuing my preventive health."
"Thought everyone that worked on me for my procedure was outstanding."
"Appointment went well. The staff was pleasant. My appointment was on time. Only spoke to Dr. Piesman for a minute or so before the procedure, which is probably common for my procedure, but he was pleasant and did a good job."
"I am sooo glad I was referred to Dr Piesman by a friend. He was very very nice, on time, courteous and very helpful with my concerns. The office help was also great! Makes having problems "such as this" not so bad 😊"
"Went in the morning of my procedure nervous, distressed, and terrified. Dr. Piesman and Staff made it their mission to make me feel comfortable at each stage of my procedure. I noticed they focus on making my experience as seamless as possible, right from appointment booking to discharge. Thank you all for making the procedure a comfortable experience.🙂"
"Everyone was very knowledgeable and very courteous. They made me feel at ease. I am sure no one likes having to get a colonoscopy, however I can say that it made me feel that if and when it is necessary again I will choose Dr Piesman and his staff if possible."

I can’t say enough about the kindness of the staff and the Dr. I highly recommend this practice to any and all that may have fears of reservations about health care providers. I am very comfortable with my decision to be helped here. Many thanks to you all!"

"Dr. Michael Piesman has been treating me for the last few years. I'm 36 & I have a few internal health care issues. I've encountered a few doctors that judged me by my physical appearance and thought there's nothing wrong with this lady she's too young...THANK GOD DR. MICHAEL PIESMAN ISN'T ONE OF THOSE...HE IS THE BEST gastroenterologists I've been to. He is very upfront and honest. He makes sure that his patients overall health issues and concerns are addressed.

"Everyone was very pleasant and professional in dealing with me, but I felt like I was part of a conveyor belt when the procedure was over. I was handed a packet with pictures, a description of the surgery, and a copy of a prescription to be filled. The doctor didn’t even spend 5 minutes with me, and I was not given a chance to ask questions. It was very obvious that another patient was waiting in the wings. My follow up appointment isn’t until February. I was not pleased with the last part of the experience. Kathy Robertson"
"My visit was everything I planned it to be, Dr. Piesman and the staff took great care of me. They were clear with me on what to expect to include my procedures and the time it would take and what I need to do in the follow up. I would recommend his services to anyone."
"Very comfortable setting. Very professional. The staff and Dr. Piesman were great! I was in and out after my endoscopy. No problems. I would 100% recommend Dr. Piesman and his staff."

I will have another telephone consultation in a month when he and I will decide what course to take with my problem. Looking forward to meeting him in person when it is possible during this COVID-19 Pandemic."

"Recently had a colonoscopy done by Dr. Piesman at the GCSA Ambulatory center off Toepperwein road. Being a new patient, I was somewhat apprehensive about the procedure. Over-all the experience was very pleasant. The office made sure to give me complete information as to the prep procedure prior to the day. The personnel at the center made me feel very comfortable. I felt very at ease when I saw everyone wearing masks & the waiting room was set up to employ social distancing. I woke up after the procedure & felt great. Hard to rate a colonoscopy but I can tell anyone that they should not be afraid to get one."
"Dr. Piesman and his staff were really professional."
"I've been seing by Dr. Piesman a several times for hemorrhoids and other digestive concerns, he resolves my problem at one visit never failed.

"I've only met over the phone, but Dr. Piesman was very friendly and upfront. He made several suggestions and wants to see me later."
"So I'm not the review leaving type but because of how impressed I have been with Dr Piesman, since I have been seeing him for around 4 years now, I am making an exception. First of all, he and the folks there at GCofSA, have the most efficient, and expeditious system from the time of scheduling, all the way through until discharge after the procedure. I have had 5 endoscopes over the past 4 years and I am continually amazed by how fast they are. There is no sitting around waiting forever upon arrival which seems to be the norm at other outfits. I never feel like I am being rushed or care is neglected however, these folks just have their act together. The atmosphere there is so relaxed, and friendly. They certainly make the experience as stress free as possible. Dr Piesman, happens to be highly regarded with issues pertaining to the esophagus, which is the issue I deal with. I was sent to him by a former Dr for a radio frequency ablation treatment, and was so impressed with him and after learning of his expertise with regards to esophageal issues (from his bio) promptly switched Doctors. Not only is his expertise of the highest caliber, as an added bonus he's pleasant to deal with, very easy and genuinely personable guy. In all my dealings with him he communicates really promptly, and in an easily understandable way. I am not a huge fan the medical profession in general, however we do need them and imo if you need to go to a GI, Piesman, and the folks GCof SA are the only ones I'm going to."
"My recent procedure handled by Dr. Piesman and his staff went as smooth as it possibly could. The whole staff was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend their services."
"Great personality, willing to try natural remedies before invasive tests or drugs. Handled my 85 year old Mom with great bedside manner."
"This place was the Chic-Fil-A of providers! They have the entire process from check in, procedure, recovery, to check out down. There is nothing worse than getting to an appointment and you aren’t seen for an hour. Every staff member we encountered was great. Dr. Piesman made me feel so comforted both before and after the procedure- I’ll let anesthesia take the credit for during the procedure. We don’t have to meet again for 10 years but hopefully I’ll get to work with the same staff members and Dr. Piesman."
"This was my fourth colonoscopy. The previous three were at Sammc and didn't go so well due to lack of sedation. A friend recommended Dr Piesman, and told me about how well their procedure went. I scheduled this time with Dr Piesman, and had no regrets whatsoever. The staff were very professional and caring. Dr Piesman will be my go to Doctor from here on out. Not only a colonoscopy was performed , but also an endoscopy as well. Dr Piesman is a great Doctor who explains all you need to know before and after your procedure. I would recommend him to anyone. Greatly satisfied :))))"

"Last week I went to see Dr. Piesman for a colonoscopy and endoscopy and it went so very well. I have been putting this procedure off for years because I was scared. I mean I. WAS. TERRIFIED. Well let me tell you, Dr. Piesman is awesome! When I woke up from the anesthesia, I didn't even know I had already had the procedure. I had no side effects and Dr. Piesman explained everything so well. If you have any gastro issues, don't hesitate to call his office and make an appointment with Dr. Michael Piesman today. He is the absolute best!"
"There are many characteristics that define a good doctor. A few that come to mind are knowledge, professionalism, humility, passion, strong work ethic, competence, empathy, compassion and understanding.

"As a four time vetran of the colonoscopy business I can attest that Doc Piesman did a super job. On time, on schedule, timely follow-up info provided on line, on a 1-10 scale he's an 11. I'll not be going anywhere else for future visits."
"I would like to thank Dr. Piesman and his very professional staff for their quick and through procedures I received on an upper and lower GI. I couldn't believe how quick they were to my appointment time. This entire staff treated me with total professional care. I felt like I was with Family because of there caring attitude.

I appreciate their excellent care."
"If you need a gastroenterologist, Dr. Peisman is your man. I have been seeing him on and off for more than a year and I am always amazed at his professionalism, his courtesy and caring for his patients.

Dr. Peisman is a member of in a large group practice which is also professionally and courteously run, which gives you access to many talented and physicians.

"Dr.Piesman made my experience an easy procedure compared to the last episode I endured during my the last procedure with Dr X."
"Dr Piesman was referred to recheck an unusual finding by my physician. I was impressed by the large well trained staff that took care of everything quickly and efficiently. I was one of several patients who he worked with the same morning. I had no discomfort, the facility was new and sparkling clean, and the Doctor saw me after the tests and carefully explained the results. I was pleased and impressed with everything. Thanks, Doc"
"I recently moved to the area from Wisconsin. I left behind doctors that had taken care of me for over 30 years.. I never thought that I would find a Dr. that would understand and care for me the way my existing WI doctors did. Then I met Dr. Piesman. I knew instantly that he was as caring, professional and extremely understanding of my problems. I can't be any happier knowing I now have a Gastro Dr. just like the doctors I left behind. I walked away knowing I would willingly put my life in his hands"

"I recently had my third colonoscopy. The last two were attended to by Dr. Michael Piesman, MD, Gastroenterology. You will not meet a another physician that enjoys his work like Dr. Piesman. The procedure went off without a hitch. As I was talking with the anesthesiologist, she put me to sleep - forty minutes later I woke upon my bed - a warm bed - and every body was around me. The Doctor noted there were no problems (if there had been he would tell you). Some material was sniped and sent off for evaluation and 10 days later you get the same results as those that the Doctor received. The only issue I had through the whole process was the clearing of the intestines - hold your nose while you drink the fluid."
"My wife is a huge fan of Dr. Piesman going back to his Army service days at SAMMC. As a result, when it came time for a colonscopy for me, he was the automatic choice. Personable, efficient, professional....all you could possibly ask from your physician."
"Very professional, caring. Excellent communication before, during, and after the procedure. My only complaint is that I called to ask how much it would cost, and all I was told is that it was covered. With my high deductible insurance, though, covered does not mean there will be no out of pocket expense, and I would have liked to be able to plan better financially."
"I really appreciate Dr. Piesman. He is very thorough in trying to figure out what the problem is. He has such a nice and down to earth personality, which makes me feel so at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone and have before to some friends."
