The Best 12 MEDICAL SERVICES near San Marcos, TX (Part 3)

Courtney Riggs I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Saini and the exceptional care he provided for my ankle. After months of severe, debilitating pain that made even walking a struggle, Dr. Saini quickly and accurately diagnosed me with end-stage arthritis caused by prior trauma to my ankle. He approached my treatment with a commitment to conservative care, initially starting with medication and steroid shots to explore every option for relief before considering surgery. When these options proved ineffective, Dr. Saini recommended a subtalar fusion. He took the time to walk me through every detail of the procedure, drawing diagrams and explaining in such a clear and accessible way that all my concerns were put at ease. His kindness and professionalism throughout were invaluable, especially as I felt incredibly anxious about undergoing surgery. Thanks to his skill and care, the surgery went flawlessly, and my post-operative experience has been outstanding. Dr. Saini’s dedication didn’t end with the procedure—he’s been thorough and attentive in my recovery, ensuring that every step of the healing process has been seamless. In every interaction, Dr. Saini has been a model of excellence, compassion, and integrity. I am deeply grateful for the level of expertise and empathy he’s shown, and I would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking the highest standard of orthopedic care.

Tracy Hildebrandt My son had a jones fracture and Dr. Saini made him feel very comfortable and heard. He took time to really listen to all of his questions, and answer them clearly and for that I am very grateful. My son was super nervous/scared to have this surgery but he told me just before he went back "Im glad hes here, I feel better now"

Randy Linley Yesterday was my first visit to see Dr. Smith and team and I had a wonderful experience all the way around. My appointment got booked quickly and everyone I interacted with from the receptionist, on were friendly, professional and thorough. I felt like they were happy for me to be there instead of just a number. Dr. Smith was great, I feel comfortable and look forward to having my care in his hands. At no point did I feel like he was rushing to get me in and out. He did a great job of explaining everything and answering my questions. I would highly recommend the Dr. Smith, facility and staff to anyone looking for healthcare.

Linda Schmidtke Dr Smith is a very nice gentleman, but him nurse is not so nice. My insurance called the office, the nurse was so bad the the insurance people wrote her up, and her behavior, which was VERY unprofessional. The nurse would never let me talk to Dr.Grayson when I needed to. I have a new doctor now who is great and nurse is so great, always want to help you. One other thing, about Dr.Graysons office has been notified to send my chart, X-rays, ultra sounds, bone density test, etc, I have had done over the years to my new doctor, which is the duty of of Dr. Graysons nurse. Today went back to new doctor, needed a test I had taken a short time ago, but didnt have my chart and other things to look at also.

The Flying Brompton Recently, this office adopted a new phone system and it is not patient friendly. It simply prevents you from talking to anyone. You have to leave a message and it can take hours for anyone to call you back. After talking to the staff, they informed me it was a corporate decision and it has created more work for them as well. A lose lose situation. After a few years, I am now looking for a new patient friendly office.

Jo Ann Sullivan I recommend this doctor and his staff are so wonderful and very professional. Dr. Colon has always been the best primary care doctor I’ve ever had. My Daddy and I both saw him for our health issues. Thank you Dr. Colon for everything you did for my Daddy and I. There’s no better primary doctor in or around Austin, San Marcos area.

JPLP Dr. Carroll is truly the best! He actually listens and has reviewed your history before your visit so hes up to speed. Hes patient and explains everything. I do wish I didnt have to travel to Austin for the procedures, but I guess once a year isnt so bad.

Bonnie Rocha Dr. Carroll was very caring. Helped me a great deal

Carrie Stewart My first visit last October 2024, with Dr Polson seemed to go just fine. I needed him to get me a referral to a dermatologist office, Elect Dermatology. Dr Polson handed me a copy of my referral to which he said would be sent right over. They did send the referral right over but skipped over the important part of calling my insurance company Devoted, for approval. Several weeks later in November I go to the dermatologist. I had two different appointments first to have a spot on my are checked, so they scraped a sample to send off. Results were I had cancer cells that needed removed so ergo the second appointment. Got a clean bill of health, but then I received the BILL. All because San Marcos Family Medicine didnt call my insurance to get the referral okd. Now I cant get anyone by phone or in the portal. All I need is for them to call Devoted and admit they failed to get the approval for me to see the Dermatologist.

K Noel I loved Dr. Polson and his staff. Unfortunately he moved out of state and were now having to deal with a non empathetic Dr. NATASHA DESAI. Not once did she let me speak during my appt. or express my concerns. As a patient for over 7 + years. I will be going elsewhere. I was treated like crap.

Glenda Hawthorne Ive been seeing Dr. Symon since 2015. I have always found her to be most professional and caring. What I have always appreciated about her is that she shares with me the results of tests and gives me a copy of everything to take with me after the appointment for review. I am truly saddened to find out that she is retiring, but Im sure she deserves a rest and I wish her well.

Mac Pequeno Excellent Dr. She has been my Dr for more than 20 years. She has always known exactly how to take care of me and my husbands medical needs in a professional manner.

N. García I have been a patient of Dr. Schneider for almost four years and while I have always adored him and his bedside manner, the staff left much to be desired. I visited yesterday for my annual physical and it was the best visit I have had. Most of the staff has been replaced and it shows. Ms. Edna, Dr. Schneider’s new nurse, was such a pleasure to interact with. Her bedside manner blew me away. Ms. Carol, the front desk associate, was very welcoming. I had never been greeted with smiles at the front desk, and yesterday we were giggling like children sharing secrets. Ms. Joni, the lab tech, was also very friendly and I didn’t even feel the pinch. I don’t expect my healthcare practitioners to be my best friends, but I do expect them to realize that as a patient, I am already in a vulnerable position and to make me comfortable during care. Mission accomplished as the energy in the office was abundantly light and friendly.

Cesar Matute This place is bad do your self a favor do not rely you health on this office. I got a physical check up and pulmonary test results i did never get a call from this people . That front desk is super bad at customer service when I call one of the front desk lady was trying to explain me the results and when I asked her questions didnt know anything ended up telling me that she was gonna tell the doctor to call me. I will definitely no coming back here.

Elaina Middleton The one thing that stood out most from my stay at the hospital was the care that the nurses gave me. There were three nurses that stood out the most that helped me, Melissa Angie, Sonia Matthew, well four those individuals went above and beyond to assist me even when I got stressed that I had to stay longer, especially Melissa she took the time and sit with me during my transfusion And even assisted me with my wound care what I did not like, however was that for five hours, I set on a stretcher in the hallway. I understand that this is a small hospital however, patients should not sit in a hallway, waiting to be seen on a stretcher. They already do not feel good and to be in a hallway where they can easily get hurt or Catch other illnesses is not right that needs to be fixed immediately. The staff were very helpful, but I did not appreciate being on a stretcher in a hallway. I felt like less than a person.

Savannha Guzman I had the best experience at Ascension Seton Hays labor and delivery during my induction on 2/6/25. Everyone was very sweet, friendly and respectful. I was nervous delivering at a new hospital but I trusted my provider Dr. Bosco and I knew he would be taking great care of us during my delivery. I want to say the entire labor and delivery staff was amazing from providers to nurses to the Anesthesiologist that administered my epidural. The nurses who took care of me and my son after delivery were also amazing and so caring. We highly recommend this hospital to any future moms looking for a great hospital to deliver at!

Meagan White great place if you want them to lie about accepting your insurance, sending you thousands of dollars into debt. Also great if you want someone to misread your ultrasound when inserting an IUD and having them have to redo it after stabbing your cervix. Also great if you want them to ignore your request to not have a male in the room and then letting said male squeeze your thigh multiple times. Also i spent a year and a half bleeding and they kept telling me to take 8 advil a day because it was from my IUD. It was an STD that could potentially impact my fertility, and they never thought to run a test. Instead they told me i probably had a bladder tumor and recommended a specialist. dont recommend at all.

Ruth Xiomara Abreu, CEO Viva Home Staging Design I’ve been wanting to review this place for a while but the experience has been too painful to relive it but now I’m ready to share my story. I had a miscarriage and the way the front desk and staff handle this situation was beyond disrespectful, unprofessional and racist. The front desk is the rudest and most disgusting staff you could ever meet. While loosing my baby, I call the receptionist and they didn’t even let me speak and cut me off and didn’t let me even explain or tell them my symptoms, they didn’t care at all. The nurse that told me my baby didn’t have a heart beat anymore was very racist. I told her I need to organize my work schedule because I own a business so I can take days off and she assumed that I was a cleaning lady because I’m Hispanic. Also, the doctor Kunda didn’t even want to prescribe me pain medication even though having a miscarriage is extremely painful so I had to have a friend call the office and scream at them. I gave $3000 on deposit for all the appointments and soon after that I lost my baby and they didn’t even give me my money back or part of it. Please don’t go to this place. You are not going to be treated with kindness or dignity. This happened a 2 years ago and if you read the reviews the front desk is still the same. This people have not being called out and is sad.

Dylan Trotsek Worst experience I’ve ever had with a doctor. I was told we can only address a few things at first appointment. Turns out quite a bit of my symptoms were a result of a very apparent ear issue that would’ve been found had they checked my ears as is expected at a doctors appointment. I spent maybe an entire two minutes with Dr. Schneider who was clearly in a rush yet I’m sure felt satisfied billing insurance for a standard doctors visit. Thankfully the urgent care near me was easily able to take care of my problem that they CLEARLY missed and I feel much better. I’ll be changing doctors ASAP.

Benjamin Flores My wife and I walked into this place after being told they take our insurance. We waited 20 minutes while my wife was in obvious pain just to be told they don’t take our insurance by a rude woman in the office. We had the insurance company reach out 3 times to talk to a manager and they hung up twice and told the insurance that they don’t know what they are talking about. These people are very unprofessional and I would advise everyone to steer clear of this ridiculous place.

Lexi Driskell I wouldn’t send my worst enemy here if they were dying. Came in with pneumonia on my primary care doctor’s orders. Was immediately dismissed by the nurses and told they would not do anything because of my age, even fluids. Was given a chest x-ray for the lovely price $3000 and still never saw a doctor to explain said chest X-ray. Was handed discharge papers with a script and basically told to get out. Heard nurses giggling while I was waiting for an hour with zero contact from any of them. Ridiculous and zero patient care.

judy Pendergraft My husband just went to the er as per his Dr for blood work (due to being a weekend) for signs of infection in his jaw. The NP looked at him, gave him Tylenol 3 and narcan and sent him home, with no explanation, no testing, just complete rudeness and treating him like a drug addict. He hasn’t been to the er in over a year. Completely unethical and unprofessional.

Moczek Abigail (Abi) Denied care due to receptionists not checking insurance properly, we even called our insurance right in front of them. Had to go home, re-call insurance (who said the clinic was supposed to call them), and be seen virtually (which costs 30$ out of pocket compared to 100$-160$ to be seen without insurance at this location). Ends up, our insurance IS active despite their claims and THEY should have called to verify this instead of telling us we had no coverage.

Nichole This place was clean, the staff was so nice and caring and the Dr. was quick and attentive. I will def be going back here!
