Reviews for Texas Digestive Disease Consultants
"Dr Gentry has been my gastroenterologist for over 20 years. I have colon cancer in my family so I was concerned about my first colonoscopy. He was so supportive and caring. He helped me overcome my fear. I hope he’ll remain my doctor for many more years to come."
"Doctor was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to."
"I see Dr. Kara and she is very informative and so pleasant. The staff has always answered my questions and is always professional. I also saw the PA Jennifer Miller for Dr. Kara and she was very through and detailed on my situation and gave me lots of information. She was pleasant and helpful and professional. TDDC has always taken great care of my Husband and myself. I won’t go anywhere else for GI issues."
"Was a patient for over 10 years. Dr Vesy treated me with incredible care with outstanding results. With many endoscopies and colonoscopies over the years I was able to live a good life. When problems changed Dr Vesy referred me to another specialist to continue treatment that he felt I needed. Today I am doing very well thanks to Dr V vigilant care. You will not find a better Gastroenterologist any where than Dr Vesy. Miss seeing him however still follow him through friends/patients that feel the same way."
"Dr. Fernandes is the absolute best!! Very professional and caring, great "Bedside" manner."
"In Nov 2023, I had my first colonoscopy. Dr. Altug was my physician. She saved my life. She found a 15mm malignant polyp, removed it, sent it to pathology, and I was given the red carpet treatment from Dr. Altug herself, and her entire staff at Bay Area Gastroenterology. I was directed to Texas Oncology and as of just a few short months ago, I am now cancer free. Dr. Altug, her staff, and the medical care team with whom she shared my case, were heads and shoulders above any other medical experience I've ever had. I am a veteran firefighter/EMT. I aspire to treat my patients as well as Dr. Altug, her staff, and the whole HCA system treated me during a terrifying time: with excellent care, patient rapport, streamlined service, and clear, prompt communication. I wish I would have written this review last year, when Dr. Altug personally escorted me to a very soft-lit room, with comfortable seating, and plenty of Kleenex. I knew I was about to hear the, "C" word. Dr. Altug moved with swift and knowledgeable experience and like I said prior, SAVED MY LIFE. And if that weren't enough, here's another kicker for you: I was scheduled for my next colonoscopy with her today. I had to call her office at 4:45 yesterday to cancel due to a kitchen fire in my own home. (Quick little funny: I was 30 minutes out from taking my first dose of the human form of Dran-O, so the fire happened with perfect timing, if perfect structure fire timing exists, that is. I've fought a-lot of fire in my life, but never had to do so whilst simultaneously crapping my pants lol!) I spoke with her staff to notify the clinic I would need to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances (FIRE! lol). The young lady I spoke with was so kind and understanding. Less than 10 minutes later, I received a personal phone call from Dr. Altug herself. I work with A-LOT of doctors in my profession, and Dr. Altug is heads and shoulders above the rest when it comes to class, decorum, patient rapport, listening carefully to her patients, expertise in her specialized field, and GENUINELY caring for her patients as human beings, and not just another procedure on the schedule. When she called me after my kitchen fire yesterday, I was still somewhat in shock over the fire. She was kind, reassuring, sympathetic, and made it very clear there would be no problem in re-scheduling my procedure. I CANNOT recommend her enough, and I certainly don't have the words to describe the feeling I had when she called me PERSONALLY! THAT, my friends, is what TRUE patient care looks like. God bless you all, and God bless the doctors, like Dr. Altug, who haven't been hardened by the system, and truly care for their patients' well being - even when it has nothing to do with the field in which she specializes - such as a kitchen fire at her FIREFIGHTER patient's house. AdditionalIy, would also like to recognize the young woman who called me today to re-schedule my procedure. She was kind, relatable, and very accommodating to my out-of-the norm situation and promptly re-scheduled me for the procedure later this month."
"I’m so thankful for Dr Shrestha and his sweet, caring staff. He is genuine, to the point and very informative. He was VERY attentive and made sure to ask, multiple times, if I had any questions for him. His nurse was an absolute sweetheart! She was so knowledgeable and thorough with making sure she had all of the current patient information on me. The sweet receptionist greeted you with a smile and was so personable. I cannot say enough about how professional yet down to earth this office is. Highly recommend."
"The staff and doctors were outstanding. Everyone listened to what I had to say and offered additional comments. Staff was professional, caring, and attentive. I would recommend the office to anyone who needed to go here."
"Dr Jafri and his team are awesome, he’s very down to earth and very knowledgeable and professional and I would recommend my family and friends to his practice, two thumbs up"
"I have had interactions with many doctors during my life time and none can compare to Dr. Presley, she was the best !! Easy to talk to and her professionalism beyond measure and she actually listened to me about my situation. She very thorough and explained everything to me to my understanding. Thank God for Dr. Persley !"
"Very very good doctor . Took time with me and explained what the next steps were in my treatment"
"They all are professional and caring."
"Good Physician. He is very nice. Reception is great."
"Excellent 👌 service, super friendly nurses.."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Ben Kahn since July, 2021. He is very thorough and patient. Recently, I experienced some problems after surgery (a different surgeon), and I called Dr. Kahn’s office. They got me to in right away. I wasn’t embarrassed to share my problems with him. He understood right away what was wrong with me. I began treatment that evening, and began to feel better right away. Every time I‘ve had some stomach issues, Dr. Kahn resolved them in one visit."
"They are always prompt and courteous! I never have a long wait and always feel my questions are answered and prescriptions filled quickly."
"I’ve just started seeing Dr. Sana since Dr. Fiman retired from there. Dr. Sana is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I appreciated that he took time to answer all my questions. He does a really good job of explaining things in an understandable way. I like the fact that he considers lifestyle changes as well as medications as part of your treatment. I would highly recommend him."
"Dr. Kensing is a great doctor. Highly recommend him!!"
"My mom was the patient. The entire team was incredibly helpful. Dr. Odunsi-Shiyanbade went above and beyond—she explained everything clearly and showed genuine compassion for my mom, which sets her apart from other gastroenterologists we’ve visited. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of excellent care."
"Dr. Tsiakos and the entire staff at this office has been nothing short of phenomenal!!! I had seen Dr. Tsiakos in the past and already knew he was an excellent physician. I had three biopsies done a couple of weeks ago and the results take some time. As the holiday season approached, I began to become more concerned about my health situation. At 9:10 pm on Christmas Eve, Dr. Tsiakos messaged me that I did not have cancer and that he believes the current course of treatment can be slowed and then possibly discontinued in a few months. What an amazing physician to message me on Christmas Eve when he could have been spending time with family. I was totally blown away!!! If you need GI assistance this is the practice to use. Highly competent staff and physicians!"
"Dr. Vesy has a great bedside manner. He’s very knowledgeable and listens to all of your concerns. I felt very comfortable from the consultation through the follow up after procedure."
"Doc Martin was my hub’s doc first. I made an appointment after hub’s procedure. Doc Martin is an extraordinary listener. He let me speak. But always went back to his questions. He comes off as a caring, smart, knows his specialty, and is a people person. Goes beyond the minimum."
"Went well. Thank you."

"I have been working with Dr.Mathews over the past 2 years, and listened to all my symptoms and ran a lot of tests to determine the cause of my pain and nausea and helped my find something wrong with my gallbladder, I was scared to get surgery because I didn’t have the classic gallbladder issues like gallstones but he explained that there are other factors that can cause my gallbladder to not work and sure enough my surgeon did confirm that my gallbladder was becoming diseased and I got it out before any of my issues started to get even worse.
