"This review only contains a rating"
"Dr Botla saved my life thank you so much"
"Nurse Melissa Medina is a true professional"
"Felt like they were actually listening to me. I've had stomach pain for years and was told that's just how it would be at previous doctors. She affirmed that it wasn't ok I felt that way and ordered tests done. Have to wait for next availability but the fact I have it scheduled has been stress reducing on its own. Great place 100% recommend if you are able to wait for an appointment."
"Very professional and seeks to resolve your problems."
"Very efficient and pleasant."

"Great staff and awesome doctors! Really going to miss Dr Allende though."
"Dr. G and NP Medina are so wonderful. I have a super complicated stomach and immune disorder and they have always made me feel heard and understood. They helped me immediately and listened patiently- this is 100000 times better than the Houston Med Center where I initially started my illness journey. I would take these docs any day of the week. Fantastic team. Thank you."
"Consult went well. Every one is friendly, professional and helpful. Thank you"
"The staff is friendly and helpful."
"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"
"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."
"I definitely recommend TDDC. The staff is friendly, Dr. Bijo John Assistant is whom I saw, Melissa Medina, NP, and she is very professional and patient and takes time to listen to my concerns. They both are great."

"The Dr. was courteous, knowledgeable and proactive. I was a little unnerved and Dr Botla made me feel at ease. Because of the times the video chat method was used and the live chat was dropped before I could call back to finish my evaluation the Dr himself called and we continued. The Dr informed me about possible causes and better yet possible cures the procedure was non evasive and thru it all the Dr made the time to answer all my questions."

"Melissa Medina MD Texas digestive diseases consultants has provided me with WORLD CLASS GI medical care. In today’s world doctors have a very busy schedule which is understandable, however I have never been left without prompt response/follow up care when needed from my gastroenterology team. That’s what stands out among other specialist in this field. In my experience Regardless of your situation or circumstances Melissa Medina is there to hear about your symptoms and make difference in your health and well being within her utmost control and if She or Dr. John Bijo cannot answer your questions, they will not hesitate to refer you to a specialist that they can work with in the case your having symptoms that are not specific to the GI tract. I am absolutely satisfied with the professionalism and sincere care that the entire medical team at TDDC Provides . Thank you TDDC San Antonio!"

"The Doctors and staff of Texas Digestive Disease Consultants are at the top of their game. Everyone including Dr.'s and staff are extremely professional and seem to genuinely want to help people. I had an Endoscopy and a colonoscopy done by Dr. Kevin Dasher. He has always treated me with the utmost respect and is always willing to help. After I had finished with my procedure's, I asked him to recommend a primary care physician. He actually recommended 3 different doctors close to where I live. I would definitely go back to Texas Digestive Disease Consultants to get any tests or work that needed to be done."
