I am so glad that I found Dr. Havranek on Yelp and decided to make an appointment; I believe he is…read morethe best choice there is! When I started to have severe GI issues, I booked an appointment with my local and current GI doctor only to be asked generic survey like questions, yelled at, and told I had IBS before being pushed out of the exam room. Luckily, I had made an appointment with Dr. Havranek as well in case I needed a second opinion. It is pretty obvious that his staff is highly trained; they are always polite, knowledgeable, and available. When I first met Dr. Havranek, he shook my hand, was so polite, and asked individualized questions to my GI needs. He was even able to predict some of my symptoms before I got sick showing that he was listening to me and knows his stuff! If you didn't know, he does research at his facility, which helps me to trust his expertise even more because he is constantly learning about the digestive system and not just using outdated information. When I had to meet with the nurse practitioner, instead of him, I was anxious, but now I am ashamed of my preconceived notions. The nurse was very helpful, informative, and polite (if you visit this practice, you can see that politeness is a value). I came unprepared to my appointment, which was completely my fault, and the nurse went out of her way to ensure that the reason for my visit was met. The second time I had an appointment with Dr. Havranek, the nurse practitioner was going to see me instead. When I asked to see the Dr., the nurse who took my blood pressure seemed very pleasant and unperturbed and made it happen! At this visit, even though he was busy with other rounds and endoscopy procedures, he took his time to answer all of my questions and set my mind at ease without rushing me through the door. We have a plan in place to get me to feeling better, and I am so happy that someone is finally taking my pain seriously! If you're concerned with price, they work out payment plans and are very understanding. You get results right away over the phone or through patient portal with email notifications. I love Maria, the medical assistant! She always has the biggest smile on her face, is accommodating, responsive to calls, and helpful I cannot say enough nice things about this practice and staff! They make you feel welcomed and like you're at the right place to get the help you need. I made sure to visit five times before posting a review for accuracy :)

He had to take time off work to chase down office staff to find out what the issue was, not the other way around.

If anything happens to him as he is our sole income earner and we have a child with cerebral palsy, I will definitely be seeking legal advice to action against this office.

I would not recommend this doctor and I will not be returning. I canceled all further appointments with this provider. Remember, it is your right as a patient to have a second opinion. I am so glad it got another doctor who is everything doctor Bullock is not.

For many years, I've been under the care of Jordan Gooch, PA with Gastroenterology Consultants of…read moreSan Antonio. Throughout the years, she's overseen my care for multiple conditions including SIBO, chronic pancreatitis, gastritis, and issues related to colonoscopy findings. Other than actual procedures, rarely have I ever had to see the medical doctor when I'm under her care, because she's just as knowledgeable of gastroenterology as the MDs themselves. Every time I have seen her, she always asks relevant questions, explains possible causes, and comes up with a carefully structured plan of treatment to help me get better. I have never felt rushed--am encouraged to ask questions, and in return we have a mutual understanding of what the next steps are. When necessary, she's quick to communicate with the appropriate specialists throughout their large umbrella of specialists at Gastroenterology Consultants. My needs have never gone unmet. If I have a question or concern, I can always get a quick response back via their patient portal. Final Thoughts I have been thoroughly satisfied with the care I have received from Jordan. She is such an upbeat, caring healthcare professional and I feel grateful to have her managing my complex GI care. I highly recommend Jordan Gooch, PA for anyone seeking a highly-knowledgeable GI expert with a compassionate approach to get you better. You can reach them at (210) 614-1234.
