"Every one was at the top of their game and I particularly appreciated the very thorough explanation Dr. Cho provided in regards to my condition."
"Excellent care.."
"My experiences with the medical team was superb with the exception of an employee named “Vanessa.” I believe she is one of the prep nurses who calls the patient to inform them about the required diet before the procedure. This woman called me and she was mean, rude, angry, overbearing and overly demanding. Particularly, when I tried to explain that my transportation was being provided by a paid third party and I didn’t know if that gave me the flexibility to simply change schedules because she insisted on it. Her customer service / patient skills were abysmal. Other than my experience with her, everyone else there I met was great! I think highly of Dr. Cho and the entire medical staff there. Thanks for the treatment you provided for me. Sincerely, Don Harris"
"I absolutely just love the team and Dr. Cho. He has one of the kindest "bedside" manners I've ever known. He has proven to be , not only knowledgeable, but a true humanitarian in his right. Thank you, Dr. Cho and the team for your special care, kindness and assurance with my procedure and with my anxiety. You all gave me the comfort and confidence and faith with my health in your hands."
"Dr. Cho is wonderful. Explained the procedure in detail and what was expected. He is very knowledgeable. His staff was always and lead the way without any hesitation. From start to finish, Dr. Cho and his team were with me."
"Amazing amazing doctor. Ryan is one of the most knowledgeable and kind doctors I've ever met. He listens so attentively and actually cares. I can't recommend him enough. 100% make an appt with him if you're thinking about it."
"Dr. Cho is a splendid Dr. He takes the time to answer questions and ensures that the information he conveys is understood. He is supremely patient, kind, and considerate. One of the best doctors I have ever had."
"Dr Cho is outstanding. His professional care during the procedure from beginning to end was outstanding. I especially appreciated the time he took procedure to explain the results and the future expectations and potential risks."
"A very pleasant experience! Super nice staff! Very professional!"
"Everyone was professional, courteous, and very detailed about the procedure. I felt taken care of."
"Excellent care!"
"The experience was very good. The entire medical team was compassionate, gentle and caring from the point of check in to recovery. And even post procedure followup to make sure I was doing okay after the appointment. My only other comment is around the testing results. I havent heard from the team yet. I know in most cases no news is good news but it would just offer another level of comfort to hear directly from the Doctor."
"No problem, all good."
"Dr.Cho is very easy to talk to and listens carefully and thoughfully about my concerns. Him and his staff are great! Made me feel comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend Dr.Cho for any of your GI concerns"
"I was baffled by the communication style of Dr Ryan. It was an extremely polite and conversational style of interaction , not just a survey type where you answer yes/no Once the initial triage was over he went over information on what could be causes, what are the triggers, all of this using images, animation etc. His full intention/focus was to fully educate me of the condition and make me comfortable. He used phrases like “I try to do this and not fully achieve it” “you can try this”… He made sure i was super comfortable throughout having constant comms with me. Around the decision making part and also treatment plans, he helped to make decisions without siding with any specific option and it gave me and my wife a very good feeling about what we should do next. We spent a total of 45 mins which i’ve never spent with any doctor. If you are looking for a Gastroenterologist Dr Ryan Cho is the one."
"Dr. Cho is an excellent GI doctor who not only has the amazing bedside manners that he’s known for but also he’s passionate about being up to date on new research and educating his patients on that too. He very patiently and kindly answers all my questions as he truly cares for his patients and never rushes appointment. He’s thorough with his evaluation and has the patient’s best interest in his mind. When I had a question that I forgot to address during the appointment and submitted that through the patient portal, he himself called me within hours to address it instead of letting one of his care team members address it. Also, he does not have the arrogance that some doctors can carry. He treats his patients with so much respect. It’s doctors like him who reassure us that humanity still exists and makes us really respect and appreciate the amount of hard work and the schooling/training they go through in order to help their patients. Thank you Dr.Cho for everything you do for your patients and making us believe that there are still doctors out there who truly care for their patients!"
"Scheduling the appointment was easy. I was seen on time and Dr Cho was very attentive and listened carefully to fully understand my concerns. At no time did he seem to be rushing or in a hurry to move on. I really appreciated that. We made a plan to diagnose what's happening so he can evaluate what's happening. I would highly recommend Dr Cho."
"Very satisfied with the quality of care I received from Dr Cho and his team. Office staff was very helpful and knowledgeable."

"Dr Cho speaks directly makes eye contact and asks lots of questions.....front desk friendly...short wait time."
"It has been a long time since I have been pleasantly surprised by a medical professional. Too often I am not given important information and feel silly for asking questions. I end up researching the internet for answers. I have been dealing with a gastro issue and it has really shut down my life. I was feeling desperate for help when I made an appt with Dr Ryan Cho, MD. From entering the room and introducing himself until I left the office he exuded interest in me and a thorough knowledge of my issues. He listened to me completely and asked pertinent questions. He explained things and often pulled up graphics on his laptop/Ipad. He double checked my symptoms and answered all of my questions with great care. He was also kind and empathetic!! When I left he had already sent in a prescription for me and told me what to expect over the next few weeks. 3 days after my appt I thought of a question I had forgotten to ask so I set up a patient portal account and went online posting a question hoping a nurse would reply soon. I was again surprised when just hours later Dr Cho himself called me and answered my question. How rare is that?! My treatment is still ongoing and I will be seeing him again. I really appreciate his professional knowledge and care."
"Very knowledgeable and explanations that a layman could understand."
"Awesome doctor and top of the line staff."

A little hard to know but it's inside Texas Paun & Spine suite 300. Google maps gives the wrong address."

"Dr Cho performed my routine colonoscopy. He was very friendly and everything went smoothly. Upon recovery, I realized I was lying on a wet pad. I asked Dr Cho what had happened and he explained that he used water instead of gas. I did not experience the gas release pain that I have in the past with other doctors. I suppose my only feedback would be that I would have liked to have known that going in rather than wondering if there had been a problem after I came out in a wet bed. I did not know what liquid it could be and it was a bit unsettling. All else was top notch and all the assistants were friendly and did a super job of making me comfortable. The no gas release pain was AAAAA++++++!!!!!!! Thank you Dr Cho!"
"Everything you could ask from a doctor! Dr Cho was able to fit my husband for 3 procedures in two days absolutely unheard of in the medical field. Highly recommend him and his team of medical professionals. Thank you to all!"
"If I could give Dr. Cho a 10 star I would definitely do it!! He loves his patients and establishes a caring relationship with them. I’m very happy with he’s honesty. He genuinely cares! You don’t see much of that anymore! Thank you and God bless you. Sincerely, Esther Salazar"

"The back stage staff was great. The Nurse was friendly and professional. The Dr. was great and explained what I was getting into. I would have given a 5 Star review, but the person checking people in was rude. She chastised the Nurse in front of people. If it were my practice I would have fired her butt on the spot. She is the first face people have of this practice and you could clearly tell she didn’t like her job. Again, if I’m only rating the Dr., he was great."
