Most recently, I had a consultation with Dr. Munch to discuss a change in protocol. I didn't have to wait weeks for the appointment; in fact, I was able to make it the same day I called. In addition, in the consultation, I never felt rushed, and I left feeling so much better and more knowledgable about my options.

    Dr. Summer James is by far the best doctor I have ever had. She was the first RE I saw when moving…read moreto San Antonio. She answered every single question I had in full detail...and trust me, I had a lot, some of them where off the wall what if questions and she never once made me feel stupid or as if I was a bother to her. I never felt like a number. I was known by name when I walked in the door! Now let me start on my actual treatments. My very first appointment was a consultation, and she did a ultrasound the same day so we could get the ball rolling. We found out I had a polyp, and she scheduled me for removal. After having my first HSG and suspecting my tunes were blocked and I was crushed, she was still optimistic, she scheduled me for surgery to see if it could be unblocked. It couldn't, and although I still had one tube, she advised that IVF would be best. Stem cycle...first off let me start by saying I was 28 when starting off, Dr James started me off on the normal dosage and while responded, my response wasn't what she wanted it do be, she gradually upped my dosage. I ended up with 28 eggs, 11 of the 28 were frozen at day 5 and 1 on day 6. FET#1 while it ended in a chemical, Dr James did a perfect cycle even while dealing with her own personal crisis, she never let me or any other patients fall by the way side. Fast forward to FET # 4 Dr James thought outside of the book, she never just once said well I don't know but let's just try this. She always took the time out to specialize treatment for me. I was allergic to so many things but she never gave up. I am now 23 weeks pregnant with twins!!! I am eternally grateful to Dr Summer James! I also recommended a friend to go see Dr James after having an unsuccessful cycle with another RE, Dr James was able to do the almost impossible, and my friend delivered a beautiful baby boy in February! I would recommend Dr. James over and over and over again with no hesitation. Even through my failed cycles Dr James was there! She never pressured me into anything, she always explained everything too me, explained her reason for why she was doing it and what the benefits were. I could go on for hours about how great she is. Forever grateful!

Other than her most professional skill, I appreciate the most is her friendly attitude. I always always feel close to her, and every time I see her, it calms me down. I know she gets this. From our first appointment, she has been nothing but patient. There is no stupid question for her. You can ask as many questions as you have and she will answer them one by one in detail with patient. She never rushes you out. We love her, she is my great doctor. and I definitely recommend her to anyone who need the service.

From the moment I walked into Bluebonnet Diabetes & Endocrinology, I felt seen and respected--not rushed or reduced to numbers on a chart. Dr. Lalani took the time to truly listen to my health concerns and history. She asked thoughtful questions, reviewed my labs in detail, and created a personalized treatment plan that was both clear and manageable. What stood out most is how collaborative she is. Dr. Lalani explains complex medical issues in a way that's easy to understand, works seamlessly with my PCP, and doesn't make me feel judged--only supported. Whether we're adjusting medications, exploring lifestyle changes, or planning for long-term goals, she makes me feel like an active partner in my own care. Another plus: Dr. Lalani's appointments run on time and she even offers virtual visits, which is a huge help with my busy schedule. If you're struggling to get real answers or tired of feeling like just another case number, Dr. Lalani will be a breath of fresh air. She's not only a brilliant physician but a genuinely kind human being. Highly, highly recommended.

I assume if you are willing to pay in cash, up front - you might actually be able to see a doctor.

Our initial visit was exactly what my wife and I needed - comprehensive explanation of my wife's condition, complete review of what would be done (including pictures and drawings!), answered all our concerns. We were not hurried through the process. And, the staff was very helpful and friendly. So far, so good. Then, came the surgery. Dr Kroeker came into the pre-op prep room and reviewed what would be done and any risks associated with the surgery. Including a chance for a condition called "hungry bone syndrome." The surgery was perfect and so was recovery. Only one overnight stay. And back home. The next day, my wife developed symptoms of hypocalcemia and Dr Kroeker immediately had us return to the hospital. My wife had hungry bone syndrome. The remedy is constant monitoring and IV calcium and other minerals. My wife's thyroid issue had depleted her bones and they were now sucking up all they found. For the next eight days, Dr Kroeker was in constant contact with the hospital. And, she visited my wife all the time. Throughout this condition and after my wife left the hospital, Dr Kroeker continued to stay in touch via phone, email and text. Today, 6 months or so later, my wife's incision isn't noticeable (unless you look hard). I can't be happier. And my wife is thankful for the care and attention by Dr Kroeker.

I have no issues with the method of treatment I received. I was on year two of trying to get my numbers In check prior to going to these doctors. Laura Akright was very professional and Listened to me talk about my symptom and considered my feelings about not wanting to take medication. I had to no choice with my Graves' disease and me not having a Thyroid. I had to call the emergency number a few time and I received the Immediate care that I need it by the on call Doctor. I was very impressed. I trust this team of doctors because They listen to my concerns and my symptoms. I'm not a big fan of taking medications and I'm not the easiest patient to work with. But these professionals have done a great job in the last five years that I have I've been a patient at their establishment. I highly recommend The team of endocrinologist at this facility. I currently see Dr. Schmidt and I feel that he is a pretty awesome endocrinologist. He puts up with my resistance and gives me sound advice on treating my health conditions he's very patient with me and I appreciate it. When it comes to doctors I am not the easiest patient to work with. So kudos to the doctors at this facility. In five years I first saw Laura A when I was hypo T and then was treated by Doc. Gonzalez. I think that was his name. I was hypo at that time. Now I am with Dr. Schmidt. All very professional doctors.

    I am a patient of Dr. Najera, I encountered and extremely unfortunate situation April 19, 2026 with…read morehis office staff. (Eugene, Jazmin-team lead, and Melany-office manager). Let's begin with I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Najera, he is a brilliant physician who displays great concern for my health. He exuberates a wealth of knowledge, an amazing bedside rapport, and is extremely thorough with his care. He listens intently at your full medical history, I never felt rushed and that is difficult to find in healthcare today. He deserves a 5-star rating however his front-end office staff deserve a rating of a ZERO. No one should be treated the way I was, I will not be another name and a number, I deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and decency. To put everything in perspective let me explain. Originally July 2025 I started receiving care from Dr. Najera. I had a follow up appt in September and notified him I was unhappy with some difficulty obtaining correct lab orders from the office staff (that caused a 2hr delay in my day), issues with scheduling appointments (you can never talk to someone here in San Antonio it is an off shore call center) takes days for someone to attempt to call you back, and the office itself you cannot directly call. This is highly frustrating. He listened to everything and then sent in a lovely lady named Victoria (practice manager). She was absolutely amazing, listened to all my concerns and I left this appointment extremely happy. I then had another follow up appt in December 2025 everything went well. I was supposed to have a follow-up in March regarding lab work that was completed and received a phone call that they needed to reschedule. I said no problem, Jazmin offered me one day only to come in I already was working that day and that would not work for me and she said okay then come at end of June. I said absolutely not my appt was originally for March that is too far away for something that was not my fault. I escalated it to Melany, Jazmin thought she put me on hold and she didn't, I heard them conversating rudely in a insensitive way about how I couldn't make the appt. Melanie got on the phone and said she could offer a telehealth appt and I obliged that it would work perfectly due to the appt only was to discuss follow up lab work. My telehealth appt was scheduled for April 20th I had already completed all my online pre check-in verification with photos of my insurance card which they already had from prior visits and all questionnaires completed as well. I received a phone call from Eugene April 19th at 4:45 saying I needed to pay my copay right now or they would cancel my appt. and how the office closes at 5pm. I explained to Eugene that I was picking up my child from the bus stop I did not have my wallet at the time due to torrential rain we were receiving this day and the buses were running behind. I had no problem paying it first thing the following morning. He said no they needed it and I had 15 minutes to pay it or my appt would be cancelled. I escalated this to Jazmin-team lead and experienced rude conduct from her as well. Now please let me tell you I have no outstanding balances and I have always paid for all my appts. Then I asked for the office manager and Melany spoke with me I explained the unfortunate situation to her and she said I have 6 minutes to pay it or that's it. I told her I would speak to Dr. Najera the way I was being treated and questioned if they spoke to all their patients like this and Melany hung up on me and prior to slamming the phone down, I overheard he say "Cancel her appt". I am astounded that the office doesn't get more complaints with the bullish unprofessional conduct from the front-end staff. Patients pay for a service and it is astounding how I was treated and totally uncalled for. I have NEVER experienced such reprehensible and deplorable conduct from anyone. The physicians in this group would be astounded if they knew this was occurring from one of their office managers who should be setting examples to others in the office. I have thought about this over the last several weeks and because I feel Dr. Najera is a highly regarded endocrinologist and not easily replaceable I called the office three days in a row May 6, 7, and 8th, all three times got an AI bot named "Elvis" left a message and finally on May 8th received a text message back stating I could use the endobot chat feature on the website listed. I attempted twice without success. Extremely frustrating and infuriating when you are a patient attempting to advocate for your health. I cannot imagine if a patient had a reaction to a medication or needed an emergency appt due to complications, you would absolutely never get to speak to anyone in the actual office. That is appalling. I took the time to write this review for the safety of other patients and also in hope that the physicians are aware of how I was personally treated.
