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%.

The reception staff are friendly, courteous and very efficient. The medical support staff are very professional and responsive to any questions or concerns you may have. The clinical area is meticulously organized and super clean. Lastly, Dr Connaughton is pleasant and a good listener. You don't feel rushed. He's good at explaining medical issues in layman's terms. Very good bedside manner and of course a great surgeon with valuable experience. Highly recommend this doctor and his support team. Conveniently located adjacent to St Lukes Hospital in Tower2.

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.

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. :)

He takes the time to actually hear to patients' concerns and offer actionable help instead of just resorting to "try this other specialist" or "take more miralax". 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. I moved to the area at the beginning of the year, and couldn't feel more blessed to have found this practice.

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.

His bedside manner is outstanding. Pre and post surgery he really took that extra time to explain everything to me. I knew exactly what was happening and how it would be done. His nurse, Sara, anticipated and took care of my after surgery needs. She was very personable and friendly, even when I talked to he by phone on post surgery meds! She was very patient and kind. 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!

He used to be friendly, when I saw him, some thirty years ago, but that all changed, most likely because of some major upheaval in his life. He's not the same guy. It must be noted that the surgery he did on me, way back when, became infected, overnight, with an abcess. When I called and told him the situation, he told me I was wrong. I know my body, I know what I felt. I demanded to come in. He took one look, and told me I needed surgery, again, immediately. He got it right, the second time, but the pain made me see stars every time I used the bathroom, for the next week, or so. Really bad: Every single colorectal specialist I called for a checkup appointment, this time around, made one for me, but then called back and told me I was this guy's patient, so they couldn't see me! What?? When I told them I didn't want to see the guy, they apologized, but said he was the head of their medical group. I had to drive to San Antonio to get a great guy to help me.

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Mangione. I went because I had a hemorrhoid that had…read morethrombosed, and it was very painful. I had a camping trip to Big Bend planned in two days, and I found Dr. Mgione was part of my insurance plan and (wow---lucky) he had availability that same day. I went to see him. He said we can just ride it out; it'll go away eventually but will return, or I can clip it off, and it will never return. I agreed to do the latter. I told him about my trip, and asked if we should wait, and he said that it should be fine. So I bent over, things were numbed up, and he went to town. I left with no real instructions other than to fill a prescription for pain meds (vicodin) which I did. I drove home and had lunch. Well, 15 min later, I needed to have a BM. Oh no. I didn't realize what was going on back there, and I found something like a kotex napkin taped across my butt, which I had to remove, and gauze shoved up my butthole, which I had to pull out. The BM was painful and bloody. Then the pain began, where I was walking the floor for hours. The oxy made me nauseous. I went on my camping trip, but I was miserable. I ended up going back to Mangione about a month later because I was still in pain and still bleeding every time I had a BM. He said that I now had a fissure; he told me only 1 in a hundred get this. He suggested surgery but said it could cause incontinence. No thank you. I lived with this fissure for months, hoping it would heal, and bleeding every time I had a BM. I finally went to a good doctor at Austin Gastro, who asked if Mangione had stitched me up? I said no; the new doc said that he should have. He then asked if Mangione had recommended a stool softener while I was healing. Again no. The new doc gave me nitroglycerin cream to apply. He informed me that this might cause headaches, and it really did, but I kept applying and I finally healed, about several years after this disastrous event. This happened to me 15 years ago, but I will never forget it because it was a real mess. I am writing this to warn others.
