If you do the research, both on Yelp and Google, you'll understand why. Dr. Sperling appeared on my radar as the only working GE receiving favorable reviews, so I broke down and met with him. He addressed all of my concerns - including acid reflux - with compassion, good judgement, attention to detail, and understandable explanations. Everyone on his team made me feel cared for and supported. The attending nurse, the anesthesiologist, and even the scheduling and billing team did a flawless job. And... I don't have acid reflux anymore.... An imperative health asset if you happen to love Mexican and Indian food! Dr. Sperling, I hope you're feeling the love while I'm enjoying my tacos al pastor!

I first started with Kristin F (practitioner) when I would make an appointment. I always felt comfortable and she was always helpful, informative, and listened. Every time I walked into that office I am greeted right away and there wasn't a long wait time. Everyone is always smiling and filled with joy. I travel from south austin and I don't plan on changing them unless I move far, far away. lol Now that Dr Alberda is part of the team there is no better doctors office then this one. I have never walked in to a place like this where you get joy, understanding and great knowledge/skills like this office. Even the phlebotomist is a sweetheart with great skills to draw your blood. Its a short visit with her but her pleasantry last beyond that. Every single person of the staff is excellent at their job and they feel like old friends. I wanted to give kudos to this team and know that it's appreciated how they treat the patients like family with care and excellent skills. Thank you for being genuine and providing the best service possible. God bless y'all.

NP Hajda (pronounced Hi-da) had a wonderful approachable manner. She listened to all my concerns and gave her feedback on treatments she was familiar with. I had a lot of natural remedies I've learned about as well. If she was not familiar with it, she said so. They practice the traditional clinical approaches here. Though I was given a probiotic sample to try. NP Hajda also gave me the courtesy of suggesting someone based in function integrative medicine that would be a holistic approach.

Then they re-order the same labs and now order a Fibroscan ... they also say even after that they won't be able to treat me because I'm moving.

This office does clinical research related to liver disease, which includes compensated studies. Unfortunately, they are disorganized and requires you to spend hours and months trying to get the compensation owed. And it's worse if you need travel reimbursement, which studies often allow for "reasonable travel" but they refuse to provide details. Depending on who you talk to, it's a different story. If they promise you the check is being written, you hear an hour later that the request for payment was just submitted. And the check is in the mail? Maybe, but it'll arrive two weeks after it's promised, and still be wrong. They also forget to schedule appointments, and those unscheduled appointments aren't reimbursable according to their accountant. Plus it's not a CapMetro friendly location so if you don't or can't drive, you're going to spending $$$ on top of all the time (even short visits are at least two hours, mostly to watch someone flip through a binder and leave the room 5-6 times to get something else. They won't pay the mandatory booking fee if you opt for ride shares, and you must provide itemized receipts. They are about to move to a slightly more CapMetro location. But know what you're going into if you get referred to them for study participation. they still owe me money and I have had to remind them about what's supposed to be included. If you're desperate and choose to participate, be aware that they only see patients in the morning, and those visits will take at least two hours, and only on weekdays.

In addition, and after a long time of trying different things (including medications) I was finally feeling better; and that is when I was told the practice was "moving away from medication as the solution" and moving to more "practical" solutions. I started to feel bad again but kept trying because changing psychs is tough. What finally broke the camel's back was when yet another practitioner left, and I kept calling and emailing asking to be set up with a new practitioner, never to hear back. When i did get a call from them, it was to advertise their new service: ketamine. The three stars are for the good practitioners who helped me, but ended up leaving.
