Fantastic team. Thank you."

"The staff is friendly and helpful."
"Starting yesterday, the person who called to confirm the appointment and collect payment was so kind. Then when I arrived for my procedures this morning, everyone at TDDC was friendly and caring and knowledgeable. I got signed in promptly by the friendliest person. I was moved into the prep room and was helped by Christie who was the best. Once I got into the OR, the nurse Monica was wonderful, the assistant David was fabulous, the anesthesiologist Mike was exceptional, and Dr. John was so supportive. This team knows how to alleviate a lot of fear and anxiety for patients, and I cannot say enough good things about my treatment today. I've been here before and it was a good place to be, but today, in spite of why I was there, was absolutely amazing! The facility was clean and efficient, and of course the medical staff made it an excellent experience. Thank you to all - and I hope I remembered the names correctly because they truly were special. If you have need a colonoscopy or endoscopy, have it done here."
"It did take awhile to get an appointment, once you see doctors and staff are awesome. They really take time to listen and answer your questions. I had cancer a few years ago so when I have any problems I worry. I feel a lot better after getting results and info from doctors"
"I really like the quality of care here. Melissa is a very knowledgeable and caring physician's assistant. highly recommend"
"I have an ongoing issue where the top of my esophagus gets out of synch every 5 to 6 months and I have to get the opening stretched. This problem causes uncontrollable coughing fits when I eat, rink or simply swallow my own saliva. The "stretching" procedure is done during an endoscopy. I have had this issue for years. Dr. Goyal and his staff are wonderful. I see Melissa Medina - NP and Dr. GoyalI interchangeably. I call, quickly get an appointment, am seen and the endoscopy is quickly scheduled in the procedure rooms on the 1st floor. As much as I hate having to get this done repeatedly I am grateful that Dr. Goyal and the entire staff both in his office and in the procedure rooms are caring and comforting. I am blessed to have this consistent level if care."
"Texas Digestive Disease Consultants has been my 'go to' place for a colonoscopy and endoscopy for years. From courteous and attentive staff to top-notch doctors I have nothing but good things to say about them. Dr. Allende and Miss Medina....the best. Thank you for your good and thorough care....Florencio Rodriguez"
