They were all so personable, friendly and made you feel so at ease. From the time Shannon went over my pre-op, to my pre-op nurse Yuni and the best anesthesiologist EVER until I was sent out the door, it was a wonderful experience if ever a colonoscopy and endoscopy could be one!

ANYTIME she has had any concerns or was sick, he has always been there for her and made sure she was ok. From phone calls to check on her, to procedures, to hospitalizations, even if she had doubts.

I found Dr. Amaro to be a kind, caring individual. He was attentive while I listed my history, he asked questions, answered all of my questions, and added two more tests due to his concern of my condition. Before the procedure he assured me and made sure I was comfortable; then went over the procedure with me. Afterwards, he came to recovery, explained what he had found and answered my many questions about my condition. I trust him to give me the best treatment going forward."

My son has C.F. and is a mult-organ transplant recipient ( lung/liver and kidney) trying to find an Austin doctor willing and capable of working with all the transplant teams from Baylor St. Luke's in Houston is not easy.

Best Gastro in the Austin area!"
"Dr. Amaro is professional, knowledgeable and spent time with me! The office staff are also efficient and friendly. My only complaint is that the physical facility where the offices and registration are is awful. Old torn furniture. Duct tape on carpet.

My son received fast appointments, genuine care and concern, and excellent medical care.

We sad to change, but I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Amaro and TDD in Cedar Park."
