"I recently had an appointment with Dr. Deschner's nurse practitioner. She scheduled a colonoscopy with Dr. Deschner on November 25th. She seemed to be very knowledgeable about what we were discussing."
"Great experience for the procedure. Even started a little early and it was done quickly. Facility was clean and organized. Nursing and support staff were very helpful and pleasant. Dr Cluley was wonderful- great explanations before and after the procedure. Not a big fan of medical procedures, but this one was one of my best experiences."
"Everyone was very helpful, cheerful, informative, and quick to respond to questions. A good experience. Dr. Deschner was very calm and patient and gave us great information as well as assurances."
"Allison was great asking questions about my difficulties and giving me suggestions on handling them. After she had looked at blood work and the CT scan on Saturday she called me apologetic about it being Saturday but wanting me to know she thought I should get other tests done and was checking to be sure I would agree which I really appreciated. It showed me that she was concerned about how I was doing"
"Allison Stevenson did a wonderful job of actually listening to me and my concerns about what Is been going thru She talked to me about a couple of options Once we decided what we thought would work best for me she scheduled a followup to make sure things were improving In looking forward to continuing working with her"
"I met with PA Cheryl on my last visit. As always the PA was knowledgeable and personable. I can always count on an informative visit that addresses my concerns."
"The entire staff is so welcoming. Dr. Kahn is amazing. It's really nice to feel like they all seem to really care. This doesn't happen very often any more."
"Doctor Marek and entire staff were Outstanding and Kind. My experience on my first colonscopy was Awesome. Extremely impressive people that day that should be Rewarded."
"Having a colonoscopy is not at the top of my list as fun. You still have to drink that horrible drink and was up all night but I have to say I was really put at ease when I met the doctor and his team. They knocked me out and I had no repercussions coming out of the anesthesia. Dr. Cooley came in and explained everything to me and it was all good. The bonus is at my age I don’t ever have to have another one. I definitely recommend Dr. Cooley and the rest of the people involved in my procedure. All of them were friendly yet professional and efficient."
"My experience for being my first time in the San Marcos location was excellent. I was treated very well and everyone I met that day were all so nice and pleasant to me . They listened to me and made me feel so welcome and cared for. Thank for my experience being so very well ."
"After coming home from Iraq and suffering for two years with H. pylori Dr. Dashner Sat me down and question me of my past and knew exactly what I had. It started the process of my healing after he did a couple of procedures and put me on medication that started working immediately, my health was restored. I am forever grateful. Lori Hale has been patient with me and understanding and also consult me with respect and care. I really appreciate that since I’m just an old guy. I have already bragged to several friends of their service. Thank you"
"I really appreciate how Tasha took time to listen without judgment, while reviewing a list of options that work for many people. She asked about a possible test to evaluate an issue, addressing my concerns. She was encouraging and supportive, as well as professional."
"I wish to thank Dr. Shannon Marek, and all who participated in my recovery from my recent health issue. To all who show up everyday and rarely receive acknowledgement from their patients please know that you are valued and appreciated. I depended on your care and expertise in your field and I feel better because of you."
"This was my first time meeting Ms Stephenson and her staff. Everyone in the San Marcos off is friendly and helpful. Ms Stephenson listened to my issues and took immediate moves for more testing to get to the root of my issues. She explained things in a manner easily understandable. I highly recommend seeing her and her staff."
"This office visit was out of order and should have been before scheduling and sending of the prep meds which I had to pay for. What will you do to reimburse me?"
"Wonderful practice, with many sweet people running it. My nurse was lovely and Dr. Najar was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Checking in was painless and the wait was very short!"
"Danille (spelling is off - sorry) is just fantastic! No wasted effort. Straight to the punch and with a great smile! The lady who showed us to the exam room ( so sorry I did not get her name) was also great! I love this place. Frank Ingels"
"Front desk staff were very pleasant. Met with Tasha (PA). She was very pleasant & explained things clearly. I left feeling reassured & confident about the care at this clinic."
"The staff I met were very nice and helpful (Antwanette and Dr. Cluley’s PA). I didn’t have to wait and was treated well. 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. I will call office today and check on it, (and 2 of those days were a weekend) but I still feel a little forgotten."
"The nurse and Dr. Villa were very good. Kindness and professionalism was above my expectations . I really was appreciative of my visit. Ladies , thank you so much. Ruby Bunton"
"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. If you are lucky someone answers. Besides that, I really like Dr. Rambath and he takes the time to answer your questions. He lets me record him talking since I can't remember everything..lol"
"Nobody wants to do a colonoscopy but Dr.Meriwether made my experience 10 stars! Took his time and answered all my questions and concerns! Very smart polite and kind."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My gastroenterologist Matthew Meriwether has helped me recovery my health. Being able to enjoy my food again is something I'll never take for granted."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Shannon Marek for many years. He and his wonderful staff at TDDC have always taken great care of me and also my family members. They are very knowledgeable, professional, and caring."
"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."
"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 received detailed information on the findings both via a written record with color photos and via zoom where my questions were answered in detail by NP Kristin Means. 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."
"Got an appointment quickly. Office staff was very helpful & friendly. Dr Meriwether took time with me and really listened. Highly recommend him and his staff"

"Dr.Meriwhether was very informative and patient. Took his time to listen and even ask about family. His bedside manner was stellar. I would definitely recommend him for your GI needs."
"The doctors listen and take my issues seriously. They realize that they are not able to deal with it and know a new gastrointestinal doctor has come to our area. He brings some new techniques to address gastro paresis."
"Very friendly staff with prompt service. Dr Meriwether was a very good listener, and gave me good advice to help me start recovering with less misery. I’m glad I found him. He cares about you"
"I have nothing but good to say about this team of doctors. They show an active interest in your health, are very professional and caring. Have had nothing but successful results from all procedures performed and will continue to go there. You will not be disappointed!"

"Dr Kepczyk and his PA Patricia Moore are both excellent! Extremely knowledgeable and kind. Very understanding and helpful. They listen and form a plan to get you back to feeling 100%. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with this wonderful healthcare team!"
"I first saw Dr. Cluley about 3 yrs ago and recently have seen his PA Kristen Means. This is a great group . They listen to your concerns and have helped me tremendously with my digestive issues. I like them so much I drive from North Austin to San Marcos or New Braunfels to see them!"
"Dr. Deshner and his staff are great! There is no feeling of being rushed through an appointment and all questions are always answered. I highly recommend this office!!"
"Very pleased with staff and the doctors as well as the treatment. My medical problems and needs were very personal and difficult. The staff was very understanding."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas Kepczyk for over 15 years. He is always very thorough with excellent explanation of the examination results and treatments available. His patient care is superb as well as his kindness."
"Dr Deschner has treated me for years on the occasions when I needed a gastroenterologist. He’s friendly, easy going, easy to talk to, and always professional. If you need a colonoscopy, if you have internal bleeding check him out."
"Dr.Coles is very compassionate about what he does even when he scares you like crazy,ha. He is such a life saver and wonderful man. If you ever have the need for a gastroenterologist Dr. Coles is the only gastroenterologist I would ever want to see and I say this with all my heart."
"Before and after my procedures the staff were extremely helpful and nice. I’ve never been put to sleep or anything before so I was nervous but the staff and doctor made me feel comfortable. They walked me through everything and They called to check on me the next day. Very pleased with my experience."
"My experience with Dr. Cluley, his staff and the hospital staff was wonderful. Dr. Cluley is professional but also makes you feel very comfortable before and after your procedure. I definitely recommend him!"
"Dr Cluley has been very helpful in explaining my concerns with my liver. 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. During this time of Covid-19 it is especially important to interact with a doctor who is not rushed and takes the time to provide reassurance that all is (in my case) well."
"I appreciated the Doctor the first time I sat with him. He was so knowledgeable and respectful to me. Then I was able to meet with some of the nurses that work with him and they were the same. I came home from my first visit and called a dear friend about my experience, and she replied, "that's my doctor, isn't he just wonderful?" I really knew for sure I was in great hands."
"Dr. Cluley was very thorough and explained in a way I understand what's going on and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you Dr. Cluley"
"Recently went there with uncontrolled acid reflux, dr Moore was very professional and seemed to be honestly interested in what I was going through. Scheduled a upper G I and my hope is that whatever is going on inside me can be easily taken care of without adding anymore drugs for me to have to take. Thank you Dr Moore"
