Reviews for AG Kyle, TX - Austin Gastro
"Recently had a visit with Dr. David Kim and I highly recommend him and his awesome staff. Dr. Kim took the time to listen to my concerns, asked great questions related to my concerns and ordered proper testing. I enjoyed talking to him as he put me at ease and the conversation flowed well. I have called the office a few times to ask questions and every one of those calls was followed with professionalism, today I spoke with Lucy and believe I've spoke to Sonia on another day as well and both are delightful and very helpful. I referred a friend to his office and she also has only great things to say about this practice. It's so nice to have an amazing GI doctor right here in Kyle, I do prefer to not always drive into Austin to see a provider."

I will gladly recommend this practice to my friends and family. Thank you!"

"before I started this process with gastroenterology and Dr. Emmett, I researched thoroughly on the web. I needed to find someone to do my colonoscopy. I didn’t want just anyone. I wanted someone that would take time and explain all of the situation and circumstance to me. I just moved from Washington state and had a great Gastroenterologist up there. Dr. Emmett met or exceeded all of my expectations. I still am not excited about getting a colonoscopy but I know that I will be in good hands."

From admissions to clinical staff to Dr. Emmett, I was attended to PROMPTLY, efficiently, and with their only concern being to make sure I was comfortable, happy, well informed, well prepped and that my medical procedure was a success (it was!). ALL staff was so so caring, kind and genuine. THANK YOU for an excellent experience and for being a wonderfully uplifting and caring staff. Y'ALL SET THE BAR!!"
"Was referred to this office, it is a specialist so that is why getting the appointment was hard. No fault of the office or doctor-- but the office staff still worked to get me in as quick as they could based on the concerns from my primary. The portal made the preparation paperwork side easy. My lab results were also published same day so I could compare to previous results, I liked this feature alot. Check in on day of appt was simple, finding office was easy. Wait time was less than 10 mins in lobby, double for actual doctor but not too bad thanks to the interactive tablet in the exam rooms. I watched some little medical videos on procedures and then the doc was in. Dr Emmett himself was great as well as his nurse. The doctor let me ramble about all the things my primary had me freaked out about but he reassured me I wasn't dying and got me set up for the tests I needed and we have a treatment plan. Excellent provider and I would recommend him highly to anyone needing this level of gastro care."
"Dr Emmett is excelent. Very knowledgeable plus nice and friendly. Thank you"
"I was very comfortable with everyone at your office. Everyone was kind and patient with me. I would recommend your services to others. Thank you for being so kind."
"Excellent care !"
"The waiting room was very nice - the receptionists were friendly and helpful. The wait to see Dr. Emmett was ok. Once we were shown into an exam room, Dr. Emmett reviewed all aspects of the procedure...he made a scary procedure seem simple and quick. Thanks to Dr. Emmett and his helpful employees! I would certainly refer anyone to him."
"Staff was friendly, helpful and personable Doctor was personable, listened and answered my questions, explained my procedure and was very professional. Office was clean and orderly"
"I love the doctor and the Kyle office. It’s easy to get to and free parking. The 32 Street office is hard to get to and they charge for parking. I hate going to that office. It’s very hard to find a place to park and a long walk to the elevator and then same thing to get out. I was charged $4 just to park for office visit. Please change back to St. David’s south Hospital for procedures. The Hospital is easy to get to and doesn’t charge for parking and the staff is much nicer!"
"Very professional and efficient office. Excellent experience."
