Just a quick update: The staff here and Dr. Casaubon are terrific. I've never had an issue getting thru to someone to make an appointment to follow up on any issue. Also, when I've had a medical issue between my annual visits, the office is good about getting me on Dr. Casaubon's schedule. Finally, Dr. Casaubon is probably one of the most genuine doctors I've ever interacted with. I truly believe he is invested in my care. I can't recommend this practice for your endocrinal needs. read more

am deeply disappointed by the sheer arrogance and lack of compassion displayed by the administrative staff at Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology. Today, a staff member identifying herself as Jomi called my wife regarding a scheduling conflict. Because my wife moved to the US from India years ago, English is her second language. When she asked for just one minute to step out of the shower and talk, Jomi rudely snapped, "Oh my god... call me back," and slammed the phone down. My wife called back right away. Jomi answered and made my wife wait on hold for almost 3 minutes--apparently, the staff's time is valuable, but the patient's time is completely worthless. When she finally came back on the line, she aggressively demanded we move our appointment but refused to clearly state the date or the physical clinic location. I had to take over the call myself just to get a straight answer out of her. When I directly addressed her dismissive behavior toward my wife, she showed zero accountability, denied it, and immediately routed the call to a voicemail box. Front-line medical staff are supposed to alleviate stress for patients, not cause emotional distress through power trips and hostility. We will be looking for a new endocrinology practice that values basic customer service and treats diverse patients with respect. read more

I have received very thorough, professional care from TDE for a decade. I have loved this location, central Austin off of Mo Pac and the office staff there. My endocrinologist, Dr. Thomas Blevins, to me, is just the best. Excellent communicator, dives into the issues at hand and answers all questions. Also treats many problems right in the facility. Highly recommend. read more

My provider, Ms. Barlow, was excellent. She explained my labs and scans in depth and in terms I understood. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Very nice doctors office. The staff was friendly and helpful and the nurse that helped me was very knowledgeable about thyroid. She was patient and explained everything to us. I would recommend this place however the doctor is booked up all year. You would be waiting months for an appt. read more

Dr. Espinosa has been my doctor for over 20 years and is an amazing doctor, progressively knowledgeable, treating the whole person, and I am healthier because of it. The office experience is perfect, timely, and efficient. I recommend the office for endocrinology and diabetes care- best of the best! read more

Dr Blevins and his staff provide the kind of medical care I thought no longer existed...They LISTEN! They're KIND & they KNOW THEIR STUFF!!! That's why I keep coming back. read more

Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology - North location is absolutely amazing and Dr Valerie Espinosa is the Best...

Long time patient of Dr Blevins. Always appreciate the friendly and helpful staff. Sometimes the wait time can be long but it's worth it for personalized and one on one care read more

Dr. Pandit is excellent and brilliant at osteoporosis evaluations. I trust her and appreciate her experience.

This office is run appallingly. I have muddled through several years of going here for Hashimoto's Disease because I initially liked Dr. Pandit and she was responsive to my test results, but I finally had to leave. It is impossible to get answers and communication here is truly horrible. A few months ago I had a thyroid biopsy and they canceled my appointment (a common occurrence) and asked if they could reschedule for a Sunday afternoon. I thought that was odd but wanted my biopsy results so I said yes. Sunday afternoon, I cleared my schedule amidst family time and was at my computer for the appointment. Dr. Pandit didn't show. I sent a portal message and the next day they responded and said she didn't have service where she was. Ok..if you schedule Sunday appointments it seems you should, out of courtesy to your patients, have service, perhaps. They rescheduled for a Telehealth appt 11:45 a few days later. I said I had a work call at noon so this appt. could NOT run late or I would not be able to join. They assured me several times it would happen. Sure enough, get on at 11:45, by noon nobody had joined so I left and got on my work call after sending the office a message letting them know. At 12:05 I started getting texts and calls asking why I wasn't on that Telehealth call. I sent a pretty frustrated message back and Dr. Pandit called me later that afternoon and was shocked I was so upset. She gave me my results and I decided to give them another chance. My next appointment I felt Dr. Pandit was dismissive of some low blood cell counts. She asked if I had been sick and when I said no, shrugged it off and told me to come back in 6 months. I decided then to switch to another dr. in the practice. In March, I messaged the portal asking to switch doctors. Literally no response. In July, I called to follow up and the person apologized and said their office manager had to approve it and would call me in a week. Of course nobody called me. In September, I decided to give up and I found a new endocrinologist. I called to cancel my upcoming appointment and told them their lack of responsiveness was the reason because nobody was helping me switch providers and the receptionist merely said "Ok. I'll let the office manager know." No "Oh I'm sorry that happened," or "Can I help you with it now?" I think it shows they are barely hanging on by a thread and don't really care all that much about patients. Save yourself time and frustration and look elsewhere. read more

I've been seeing the doctors here for nearly 20 years. They have helped me control my T-2 diabetes and always make sure I understand the how and why of my care plan. The office is very well staffed and the turn over seems to be low since I have the same nurses and doctor for the entire time. They are the BEST! read more

Best doctor in America, amazing how my life has changed for the better after being treated for diabetes by Dr Blevins

Please beware of this practice. I'd like to start by saying that I was initially happy with the Doctors and staff at TDE Round Rock. I don't know what happened along the way but, they either stopped caring about patients well being or they are taking on too many patients to handle their care safely. I will no longer use this practice for my care and I'm hoping to help others in making a LIFE ALTERING decision when trying to find an exceptional endocrinologist. When I first started care at TDE, I felt like the MDs listened and ran extensive testing for me to figure out my hypothyroid issues. This part of the experience was great. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for some time and I knew so much of that was dependent on my thyroid health. I found out I have hasimoto's. Fast forward to my most recent experience. I got pregnant and immediately contacted Dr Patel's office to update them, as I was told to do. The nurse increased my meds significantly after supposedly talking to Dr Patel. I blindly did as o was told even though my numbers were stable at the time. I asked about when I needed to be seen and they told me monthly. I asked if I should be monitored more closely and they denied that. I have a history of pregnancy complications that were never able to be diagnosed. I went to my ob appointment and they told me my TSH was way overmedicated. I tried to relay this to Dr. Patel's office and never got an answer on how to adjust my meds but that I would have to wait until my appointment for Dr. Patel to review my lab results. In the meantime, unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. I let Dr. Patel's office know right away to find out how to adjust my meds. At my next scheduled appoinment, 3.5 months later, Dr. Patel asked me how far along I was. Not only was it so insensitive to someone who experienced a loss, it proved to me that her office either never gave her my messages or she just didn't know who I was at all. Either way, that is not best practice and is so dangerous to your patients. Shame on you! After another OB appointment, my ob told me I needed to get a new endocrinologist team because she was shocked at how they handled my care. She even relayed to me that hashimoto's is known for causing early miscarriages. Something my ENDOCRINOLOGIST had not informed me of. So, in closing, find a endo provider that actually cares about you and your health and the health of your future family. I don't believe that TDE is that! read more

I'm so grateful Dr. Casaubon is my doctor. I struggled with strange symptoms for about a year before reaching out to him-- after some thorough, questioning, analysis, and examination, he was able to determine that my fatigue/brain fog/irritability/weight gain symptoms were due to Hashimoto's disease. Prior to Dr. Casaubon, I had seen other doctors who were not able to discern the source of my symptoms (I got a lot of "it's a pandemic and you have a baby and a toddler, of course you're tired," and the like). So many doctors are dismissive and ready to attribute symptoms (particularly women's symptoms) to stress and the like. Not Dr. Casaubon. He listens, thinks carefully, and provides an excellent standard of care. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Valerie Espinosa and have been visiting the clinic for many years. From Dr E on down, everyone has been friendly, courteous and just great. I also have seen Kim Jones, Nurse Practioner. I never feel rushed and always am treated with great care. This is a great practice and I highly recommend them. read more

Short wait times, efficient check in, personal attention to your needs. efficient and pleasant checkout

I have been going here for almost a year. Central location on Mopac (about 6 or 7 visits) Each time I've seen a different provider, person... I've yet to see an actual doctor... they have no onsite lab capability and the paperwork provided to send you to labs seems to confuse the receiving laboratory..., there seems to be no continuity in service. No one ever answers the phone,if you leave a message it's days before your call is returned. I feel as if I'm just another # in their database, nameless and faceless - and I'm not happy with their lack of customer service. This seems to be spreading in the medical community as well... if there were an alternative - I'd love to find it. read more

I love this practice. I have been a patient here since '12 when I was tossed around after collapsing and not being able to heal from a surgery. After my 3rd time back to the ER, vomiting, low blood pressure, and passing out, the doctors readmitted me and ordered a battery of tests. One of them was a test for Addison's Disease. THAT was what was happening. I had never heard of it. That hospital sent me to an endocrinologist through their system and that doctor told me I was "fine". She ordered blood work to be redrawn and not fasting. I did. I had also taken a steroid that morning. She called me several days later and told me she was not refilling my steroids, I did not have Addison's Disease, and I was fine. I reminded her that I was BOTH using steroids THAT DAY but also, not fasting when her blood work was drawn. She said, "That is all for now. Go see your GP." This was the 2nd endocrinologist to tell me I was "fine" and I did not have Addison's. I almost listened but the nurse from the 2nd office called me and was talking quietly to tell me that my sodium levels were dangerously low and that I needed to be seen by my GP and another endocrinologist. I've no idea who she was but she saved my life. She called me after the endocrinologist she worked for hung up to let me know I needed to follow up with a different endocrinologist. I first, went to my GP. He has been my GP for over 20 years. He immediately sent me for a referral with Dr. Casaubon after reviewing the 24-hour test I had done in the hospital. Dr. Casaubon saved my life. I sort of felt I was going to need to "plead my case" with him as I had the other 2 endocrinologists. No. Not only that but Dr. C had carefully read the files sent to him from the hospital or by my GP. He noted that over the summer, my cholesterol was high. I had forgotten that. I was upset about it at the time because I am a very finicky eater and most of my diet is protein, fruits, and veggies. Dr. Casaubon was able to pinpoint things he wanted to go over with me and then, asked to check my thyroid. He said it was enlarged and had the other endocrinologists' looked at that? No. Dr. C ordered a thyroid ultrasound to be done in his office that day. I was so taken aback thinking I'd need to go elsewhere. He had the results quickly. Between that and the blood work, he said that I had Hashimoto's disease which is common. If you have one autoimmune disease you are more prone to others. He ordered new blood work, I went back in a few weeks later, and he got me started on meds to treat the low thyroid as well. My cholesterol has been in the normal range since. Twice I have had to call the office because of issues while either in-patient while in the hospital or in the ER because of Addison's Disease. It's a rare disease. I was told while in crisis in the ER, "You CAN'T have Addison's! No one has that!" I did. I do. I called after-hours and Dr. C called the ER to tell them what was required. Now, it's all over my patient records. Dr. C saved my life. I was going to give up and just listen to the first 2 doctors. When I asked him during that first visit what I had he looked at me wide-eyed and said, "You have Addison's disease. I am so sorry. I thought you knew. There is NO BETTER test than the one they gave you in the hospital and it's usually missed." It is. EVEN WITH a diagnosis, I need to educate doctors after surgeries, during crises, etc. It's not cool at all. There are many qualified people in this practice as well. They are all so kind and patient. When I have called with a medical concern someone will call back. Twice, they sent the blood work orders (after surgery when I was recovering and a mess) to CPL and I just needed to go and get the blood drawn. They called back the day the results arrived to go over what I needed to do. That is amazing customer service and patient care! My thanks to all of the staff and doctors at this practice. It means a lot when a patient KNOWS they are in good hands. As well, the ladies at the reception desk are so kind. They are always laughing and this makes me feel good because it means they are HAPPY to work there. This has value to me as a patient. My thanks to this office, Dr. Casaubon, and the staff. read more

They just don't care about you. I left they 3 years ago after a year of awful experiences, enough was enough. my hubby continued to see them for his type 2 diabetes and now he is regretting not finding another provider sooner. your just cattle to them. number 26,401. they don't return calls, they don't care about you at all read more

As usual, care and service by Dr. Blevins and his staff were excellent. Would highly recommend this practice to those with endocrine issues. read more

I highly recommend this practice. Dr. Valerie Espinosa is professional, caring, and thorough. The staff is efficient and friendly.

Just an FYI: Previous patient for almost 20 years....previously have done other reviews, but wanted to post a follow-up. After totally giving up on receiving decent care from TD&E, I changed practices. My new specialist determined that I was insulin resistant and Levemir or Lantus no longer has any effect on my system, and this was on my FIRST VISIT. I've gone to TD&E for many years and they never even checked for this. Just another example of why you should go somewhere else. You'll not get the care you need to remedy a serious Diabetes Type II problem. They will shuffle you in (after extremely long wait times) and shuffle you out. read more

I called the office about 6 months ago reporting rapid and sudden major hair loss and a request be made to my Doctor to order a full lab panel. I rec'd return call stating my request was denied, she'd only run tsh and no further thyroid functionality tests. I phoned again, reexplained that my hair was falling out it clumps and I needed to speak to my doctor as soon as possible. My call was returned with staff telling me to see a dermatologist. I was pushed off, argued with and unable to advocate for myself when I had a strong feeling something was very wrong. There was. My thyroid medication was either prescribed at 3x the dose for someone my size/weight or filled incorrectly that way. I was correct. There was a problem with my thryroid meds that had your staff HELPED WITH would have prevented me having start over with a new practitioner further delaying finding the cause and stopping the hair loss which has been nothing short of extreme and detrimental to my self image. I lost 30-40% of my hair and I hold Tx Diabetes and Endocrinology largely responsible due to lack of patient care, listening or actually relaying messages to my doctor or whatever else is going on there. Know that I think of this with every dollar of the $3k I've spent this far trying to hide my hair loss and bolster its regrowth. It's obvious this practice has gotten too large to maintain the CARE portion of patient care. I will never return to Tx Diabetes and Endocrinology and rest assured will not fail to share my experience with any colleagues, neighbors and friends who mention thyroid health. read more

I have kept seeing Dr Casaubon even after moving many times. I trust him and always enjoy my appointments. Even when I need a visit for a biopsy. Dr Casaubon makes you feel comfortable, and gives you all the information you need. Appointments never feel rushed and he gives you time to ask all your questions. I recommend him and his office read more

would highly recommend this practice. As an RN Case Manager i would not hesitate to refer family and friends!

Dr Espinosa it smart, kind, fun and knows her business. We had a telemed first meeting and I got a strong sense that she is a caring person and was able to figure out what testing I needed to have done. She had options for me and advice about the options. That same day I picked up my testing apparatus. read more

The worst experience I have ever had in a doctors office. Pandit (she didn't seem to know anything about her profession so I'm not 100% sure she's a doctor) was late, unprepared, unhelpful, brief, rude and offended that I asked: "what is the average testosterone level for a man like me?" and threatened to call security when I didn't understand why she couldn't tell whether or not my level was low or high. Simply do not go. Go anywhere else. She is not interested in helping you with anything. read more

Love my Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology Doctor & Nurse. Both Dr. Pandit & Ben, are the best. I went yesterday, for my checkups and was so happy that my A1C, had dropped to normal levels.

I am now in my upper 80s, and Dr. Blevins has treated my diabetes for about two decades, and it remains under perfect control -- I've suffered none of the dreadful consequences that disease can wreak. Because I am also treated there for another condition that requires frequent visits, I have become well acquainted with the workings of the clinic. It's a busy but happy place. I have been impressed by the high-level competence of both the office and the medical staff. They are, without exception, friendly, accommodating, and very good at what they do. read more

Professional, friendly staff. The providers are kind, thorough and helpful. Jessica Ribeiro is encouraging, positive and helpful. My intake nurse, Kevin was fantastic. The office is run very efficiently. read more

Impossible to reach them ever even when completely out of meds and need refill. I would not waste my time with them.

BIG FAT ZERO FOR THESE POS'S. They dropped United Health Care, would not give my wife a referral, would not even at least refill her thyroid prescription and now they dropped her from their portal b/c they do not take our health insurance. DO NOT GO TO THESE PEOPLE! read more
