"I wish they had all the staff on the website and not just the endoscopy physicians because while Dr Amaro was very nice, professional and knowledgeable, his staff is what made it the best experience! They were all so personable, friendly and made you feel so at ease. From the time Shannon went over my pre-op, to my pre-op nurse Yuni and the best anesthesiologist EVER until I was sent out the door, it was a wonderful experience if ever a colonoscopy and endoscopy could be one! Special shout out to Trey my anesthesiologist with the best bedside manner and humor, Yuni who I feel like is a new friend. Love you all! Can't wait to come back! nm, i can wait ;-)"

I found Dr. Amaro to be a kind, caring individual. He was attentive while I listed my history, he asked questions, answered all of my questions, and added two more tests due to his concern of my condition.

My only complaint is that the physical facility where the offices and registration are is awful. Old torn furniture. Duct tape on carpet. Can't see through dirty windows and furniture in exam room was equally as old as the waiting room. This is NOT where they do procedures. Procedures are done next door in a nice surgical center."
"We were very pleased with Dr. Amaro. My son has C.F. and is a mult-organ transplant recipient ( lung/liver and kidney) trying to find an Austin doctor willing and capable of working with all the transplant teams from Baylor St. Luke's in Houston is not easy. We are usually forced to make the drive to Houston but have been lucky to find a few key doctors in the Austin area that we feel comfortable with and Houston doctors approve of - Dr. Amaro is one of them."
