"Everyone there was so nice and Dr Diocares is wonderful. A few years ago I went to the emergency room and was blessed that Dr Diocares was the Dr on call. I truly believe he saved my life. The staff was great. They put people at ease—considering I was there for a colonoscopy it was a pleasant experience! Highly recommend!"
"Dr. Diocares, PA Tasha Despault, and all the staff are wonderful. They are skilled, caring, and dedicated to their patient's care. I give my highest recommendation."
"Dr. Meriwether saved my life! I had been having stomach issues for over a year now and other gastros would tell me to just take Imodium. Dr. Meriwether ordered some labs and prescribed me a specific medication. The medication has me back to living life normally and enjoying things again. I was able to go to Disney World and not have to figure out where the closest bathroom was. Sit in an aisle seat on the plane. Not eat when at a family event. I was to the point I wouldn’t even go out with any friends. I’m so thankful for him getting me back to living normally!"
"Dr. Mayweather saved my life! I had been having stomach issues for over a year now and other gastros would tell me to just take Imodium.

"Reception staff was and always is very friendly and helpful. First time meeting new Doctor. She took the extra time to learn about me and my situation."
"I’ve had a lingering condition since I had radiation treatment for prostate cancer last year. The PA quickly diagnosed it and scheduled me for further treatment. Everything went smoothly during my appointment. Great staff. Very short wait."
"I don't think it was fair that the doctor (Dr. Neghme) refuses to see me because I missed two appointments. I told the office I was in the hospital both times, part of that time I was on a BiPap machine and couldn't make a personal call. I was just trying to stay alive. Then, the second time, I was in a mental health treatment center that does not allow personal calls during the day unless you are making an appointment with your psychiatrist or trying to find housing. I feel I deserve to see Dr. Neghme himself. I need another colonoscopy but it hasn't even been scheduled. I'm fine with being on the wait list in case someone calls and cancels. But I don't want to wait forever. Dr. Neghme has been my doctor for a long time. To be cast aside is hurtful. Where's the trust?"
"I have now been going to TDDC for my digestive issues. Dr. Diocares and staff are great. They spend time with you ensuring you’re well taken care of. They listen with concern. I won’t go anywhere else."
"I am completely satisfied with the care I receive from Texas Digestive Disease Consultants. They are attentive to my needs, care about my needs. I am happy and confidant to recommend this practice to anyone. Sincerely, PeggySue Chambers"
"TDDC has a great staff. I have had problems with my digestion for years. Then I was referred to them and I got a diagnosis and help managing my condition."
"Very good attention from the hospital staff. My Doctor Carlos Neghme. Very concerned about his patients. I recommend him as a specialist. Excellent Thank you"
"PA Cheryl was the best! She listened to me, regarding my symptoms & ordered some tests. I tested positive for Sibos, do she put me on antibiotics. I All clear now!!!"
"From the initial greeting by PA Angela I felt like part of the family. I was initially tense but was put at ease by Angela’s caring manners and digestive health suggestions. Dr. Najar’s professional and friendly demeanor enabled me to be more relaxed concerning my upcoming procedure! Thank you."
"This week I met with Allison Stephenson, PA. She did an excellent job explaining a range of questions that I had related to my health. I particularly wanted to understand the results of my endoscopy. She also clarified the condition I am dealing with and covered the current medication and diet issues. I found it easy to understand her explanations and found it easy to talk with her. I left my appointment feeling grateful that I was given the opportunity to cover all my questions. Knowing how to proceed gives me confidence that I am taking the most positive steps to maintain good health."
"Dr Cluley, the staff and the infusion nurse are all amazing. I never have any issues getting my questions or concerns addressed in a timely manner. I will never go to another GI practice because TDDC is the best."
"My PCP recommended them but told me their call answering is terrible so I had to go in just to make an appointment. They required me to make a phone consultation appointment first. When the appointment came, I was waiting at my phone and it didn't ring but I received a message to call the general number back. I called the general number back 4 times and they wanted to reschedule again rather than let me talk to the person. It was less than 15 min later. I asked to be put on hold with the person and waited forever to them be put back in the phone cue for the receptionist and waited another 10 min to talk to another receptionist. I had to wait a couple of hours to get a call back but they did do so and schedule an appointment. This is a terrible system. If you have a phone consult, you should be allowed the ability to call the person back directly instead of having to go through the whole system and fight for them to call you again or to make a new appointment weeks later again. Once my procedure was scheduled, everything went extremely well. Their execution at the surgery center was flawless so I highly recommend them!"
"I am still in the beginning stages of my condition and have been having trouble getting my issues resolved but of course i am hopeful and relying heavily on the support and expertise of all the good people at tddc. Update: Going on almost a year with TDDC and overall satisfied with their staff and expertise. Recommended."
"PA Tasha was great! Very kind and caring personality. Very thorough and professional. Asked questions made sure that I understood everything she said. Had to wait a little bit Tasha apologized for the wait made sure I had refills. We had a good visit overall. Great staff including all the doctors. I’ve always had a good experience there. The office is right beside a small lake and my husband and I enjoy just sitting and looking out at the lake. So peaceful 😍 Thank You"
"Office staff is always helpful, sensitive & very professional. My meeting with Tasha was also the same. She was very understanding of my situation & informative regarding the reason for my visit."
"I was very much comfortable with the treatment I received from the nice young ladies at the front desk to the Doctor that explained the procedure I am scheduled to receive in a few weeks. I would highly recommend this facility and Doctors to anyone with problems associated with Gastrointestinal issues. Thank You"
"Staff courtesy comes to mind as we recall our appointment. From setting up the appointment, to checking in to the clinic, to meeting with the PA and upon leaving, everyone was most welcoming and displayed empathy and care. Our PA listened to our questions and was clear with her responses. She reviewed the physician’s remarks from the recent hospitalization and provided direction for ongoing care to address our health issue. Thank you to all."
"All the staff and nurses are so sweet, they really have my health as a priority. And the Dr’s take time with me and seem to really care about my problems and concerns."
"I Julio Gonzales was patient, this is wife's email. I liked the PA I spoke with but I still have questions about meds after picking them up. I am still experiencing discomfort so my primary complaint has not been addressed. I did not have to wait long to get back so that was nice."
"Texas Digestive Disease Consultants of San Antonio is the best places to go for all gastro & Intestinal care. Everyone is very friendly and they are very quick to see you and no long waiting time. Dr. Prazak is in my opinion on of the top Gasteo Dr. there at TDDC. I highly recommend his care. Julie k."

"Danielle Harpe was great. I’ve been seen by Dr Marek. He is also great. The office staff is the problem. I went in to see Danielle Harpe on 2/28/24 she told me my meds would be mailed. I was in a lot of pain. By Friday 3/1/24 no meds delivered. I called the nurse and that she would have EMMA call us. The nurse said she sees the notes on meds to be ordered but it was not marked ordered yet. So EMMA was suppose to call me. Instead the pharmacy from Austin Texas calls me and tells me on meds to be shipped but it would take 7 days or I could do fedex I asked why has it taken so long to call me I’ve been in a lot of pain. She said ma’am I just got prescription orders 10 min ago on 3/1/24 Friday it was 3:15 pm. So I called TDDC to the appointment personnel and they made emergency contact with EMMA She was so condescending and rude then lied that she sent out prescription to Austin pharmacy on Wednesday. EMMA IS A LIAR. now I’m still in alot of pain due to EMMA not doing her job and lieing because it took me to call back for her to send in prescription to Austin then tell me she did send it after my appt on Wednesday. Liar"
"My procedures seem to go very well. A short time after my procedures I received the results of my exams in a comprehensive medical report that was very easy to understand."
"Everyone, from the moment you walk in are friendly and professional. The appointment was informative and helpful. I would highly recommend TDD to anyone who needs digestive &/or disease issues."

"Nurse practitioner explained my results very well . Ordered an ultrasound to get more details. Her concern and examination was very help . I was very pleased with her and staff."
"PA Danielle Harpe is very businesslike without losing the “bedside manner” everyone wishes their doctor would exhibit. She’s very thorough and efficient, polite and friendly. She set my mind at ease and made suggestions to try to remedy my issue."
"TDDC, is a professional clinic, with a host of great talent. Dr Neghme and his team are thoughtful, straight to the point, and willing to you to develop a treatment plan that is best for you. The medical team is very detailed in their approach of reviewing your medical condition and offers an array of choices that is best to suit your situation. The admin. Staff has always ready to greet you will a smile. If you are looking for a great team of clinicians and admin. Professionals you will find it with them. I’m thankfully for Dr Neghme and his team of staff as they have always been forthcoming, listened to my concerns address each of them and allowed me to voice my concerns while allowing me options in my treatment plan. Awesome Team."
