To all who show up everyday and rarely receive acknowledgement from their patients please know that you are valued and appreciated.

However, my appointment was on Friday Dec 8 and was told I would be contacted to schedule a ct scan. It’s now Tues Dec 13 and I have not been contacted.

"First of all it was like pulling teeth to get through on the phone to a real person..Then they keep sending texts to fill out a bunch of stuff for a consultation..If you try to call, you get that all over again.

"I don't know why this is my wife. I had my visit recently. My visit was great - questions answered and advice given. Jon (Mike ) Rainbolt"
"I feel he listened and way concerned for needs but he never examined me. And he did not explain the EGD procedure to me or what I could do to relieve the pain I was in until the procedure. So would say he could have been a little more informative."
"San Marcus digestive disease is really good. I’ve been patient of theirs for many many years and consider them very good."
"Dr. Merriwether was awesome, made everything easy to understand. Thank you"
"I have a very complicated gastrointestinal history that requires fairly aggressive treatment. I see a leading specialist out of state and when we moved here was very worried that I wouldn’t be able to continue receiving adequate care. Dr. Merriweather was amazing not only at listening but also at being willing to work with the out-of-state specialists to ensure that I continue to receive the care that I need. I will be continuing to see him as my local provider and my out of state team virtually, they will collaborate. Highly impressed."
"The Dr made me feel like I mattered and I was very comfortable"
"I had my first consult with Dr. Merriwether ; what a breath of fresh air!! Finally! A young doctor! I have been to at least 100 doctors visits in the last few years and I was very impressed with his perspective and insight. This guy is smart. !!NOT An EGOTISTICAL MANIAC!! He was kind, empathetic and humble ; these days that is hard to come by. He made no personal judgements on my disease. In fact he gave me hope about my situation and explained my condition. he made an accurate assessment and started a treatment plan. 10/10 people. Don’t let age fool you. Stop going to elderly doctors who have nothing else in their lives so they work until they die."
"Office staff was very friendly. Dr Meriwether was professional and knowledgeable. I was pleased with my experience there."
"Wonderful practice!!"

"I like Dr. Meriwether. I've only seen him for the initial visit so far but I was impressed. He seems to be caring and he actually listened both to the answers to the questions he posed and to my questions and readily answered them with patience. He also took time out of his busy day to call me and discuss some questions I had that I had sent via their patient portal app."
"She spent the time and listened to my questions and answers they."
"Great people!"
"I recently had a procedure done by Dr Neghme and have been very pleased with the surgery team, the outcome, making the arrangements and the follow-up with TDDC practitioner nurse via zoom (as I live hours away).

I feel that I am in good hands with the care I received and will definitely return for any future concerns or routine folliw-up."

Although we have not met in person but only via telephone, he evaluated the testing and imaging results very thoroughly and but to rest my concerns.
