I understand the waiting time in the office; he has a lot of patients plus his surgery schedule. He explained everything about the surgery and the complications. He received me with a smile, and he maintained his attention in my questions. Bedside manners were great. He visited me daily in the hospital and kept me update in my progress. Surgery went well without complications. He did a great job. I recommend Dr. Mayoral 100%.

THIS is the man you want to see if you're having troubles "back there." I drove all the way from…read moreAustin to see Dr. Rogers because the colorectal (cr) guys in my town are ruled over by a mafia-type MD who controls whom you can see and when you can see him/her. This is no exaggeration: Every single cr doc in Austin belongs to one damn med group. I had seen the "mafioso guy," years ago, and he was a dweeb and a very rude SOB. He wouldn't let me see anyone else in his group, this last time around, even though I let it be known that I didn't like him and did not want to see him. This actually worked out great, for me, as it forced me to research cr docs in San Antonio. Dr. Rogers is THE MAN! He took time to talk to me and he listened to what I said. He was personable, interesting to talk to, and he has a great sense of humor. The work he did on me was not painful and, afterwards, I needed no painkillers or other types of meds to get back to work. Also, his office staff is very nice, very helpful. If you like watching fish in a BIG aquarium, his waiting room is cool, too. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Dr. Rogers.

Dr Izfar is an awesome Dr. and an expert in her field. I trust her fully. Her staff is also great…read morethough they do Lie about her 'out of control inability to manage her time'. She's always 3 to 5 hours late which I find very rude, and sadly I may have to change Drs due to this problem. I think she can do better. I appreciate that she spends time with each patient, but also expect her to schedule accordingly. Again, I love her, but my time is valuable as well. I'm in her waiting room-waiting, but leaving once I hit that 2.5 hour wait and will go to Boerne ER in the morning instead as I have a very serious health issue which is why I am here today. She's a 5 star Dr but reduced to 1 star due to very unprofessional scheduling.

Dr. Izar refused to refill ANY of these medications, and told me I would need to go elsewhere.

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.

HE FIXES PEOPLE!…read more Robert is an artist, the admiration he enjoys from those working in Austin medicine is impressive. He's like a rock star to the hospital staff; which believe me, seeing that respect, inspires confidence and renders an apprehensive, stressful moment much easier! He is up on the latest technologies and highly skilled in an amazing number of procedures. I've had two surgeries by him, including robotic; both effective and ultimately forgettable events. His father was a legendary Austin surgeon and the apple falls close to this tree. I'm not wanting surgery, but if needed, this is where I'll go. Robert's demeanor and personal approach, is anxiety relieving and he explains your situation in understandable terms. It's also worth noting, Austin Surgeons has several other talented practitioners who have treated my family members. While Askew is my doctor, I don't think there is a wrong answer there.

I'm hoping I'm done with surgeries for a long while, but will be using this Dr. Askew and his team in the future if needed. Excellent job. Thank you so much for all you do!

I first saw Dr. Amar Shah for an in clinic examination and assessment for a ongoing medical issue…read more I had previously seen a similar type of specialist through another hospital the previous year, and it was absolutely horrendous. I felt personally violated. So I was very nervous going into my first appointment Dr. Shah. I chose Dr. Shah based on several good reviews that I read online. His bedside manner was as explained in the reviews. Very kind, very patient, very informative, very "gentle." We discussed all of my options. I felt like he really took his time with me. He and I decided on the best next course of action for me to get well. For only the second time in regards to this very painful and potentially dangerous medical condition, I felt HEARD. Specifically, that Dr. Shah understood my trepidation and concerns about upcoming medical procedures. After my initial consult, somehow something got lost.In translation. Dr. Shah did refer me to another specialist; however, it was not as we had discussed in office. Since my initial visit, I have had a subsequent telehealth with Dr. Shah. Once again he addressed all of my questions. And offering telehealth is so incredibly convenient, particularly when mobility and transportation is an issue. Next step is to readdress a new referral and move forward on my medical journey. I feel like I'm in good hands...physically and metaphorically. As far as the clinic, making an appointment was really simple. Everyone at the front desk is super nice and helpful. My in office appointment was right on time. I set in the very crowded waiting room for about five minutes. I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend Dr. Shah for your medical speciality care needs. He manages to make the really not so fun and scary stuff somewhat not as bad. :)

His PA Kylie is kind, warm, and welcoming from my first visit. She immediately calmed my nerves and made me feel safe during a scary new medical situation. She is also highly responsive in the messaging portal, always taking time to respond thoughtfully and promptly to questions between appointments.
