“Dr. Desai had been one of the best doctors I have been to in a while. He took the time to explain things to me in terms I would understand and broke down my plan of care and alternative treatments. Very personable, down to earth man. Referring anyone to him that needs a gastrointestinal doctor.”

“Seldom will I ever provide as strong of an endorsement as I’m prepared to provide for Austin Gastroenterology here. My primary care physician referred me to Austin Gastroenterology to have 2 procedures done: a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. The doctors I worked with at Austin Gastroenterology were Dr. Dalapathi and Dr. Chad Long. Both are exceptional, and the procedures came off perfectly. Further, the staff there, from the office manager to the anesthesiologist, were extremely knowledgeable and supportive, and they did everything possible, and I cannot recommend them enough. They told me exactly what to do to prepare and executed the 2 procedures perfectly. Great doctors, great staff, beautiful facility. Thanks to everyone there, much appreciated.”

“From start to finish, the entire staff was friendly and helpful! The facility was clean and comfortable. All were knowledgeable on the procedures, not just the doctor. I was in and out, like an express checkout, but I was ready! No side effects whatsoever. I had both an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Pics were taken, and I got printed feedback with every pic. Very pleased!”

“Dr. Andy Tau took time out of his day (later in the workday than most GIs that I've consulted) to help me with a decade-long GI issue that other medical professionals haven't dedicated their time to solve. He was thorough with his analysis and considerate in the lifestyle changes that I would have to make while thinking about the realities of my career. I have finally found clarity about this chronic pain that has been following me throughout my life and am glad Dr. Tau is at the helm of my GI care now!”

“Dr. Tau is fantastic, I can't recommend him highly enough. He and Dr. Thomas at Austin Gastro helped save my life. Both have fantastic bedside manner and are extremely knowledgeable, informative, and patient. My banding procedures were quick and comfortable, and I appreciate separating the procedures for my comfort. My recovery from anemia and the brink of death from blood loss was single-handedly mitigated by the fantastic staff at Austin Gastroenterology.”

“Dr. Godell is absolutely the best!!! That’s coming from someone who is VERY HARD TO PLEASE!!! I was in the medical field, AND I have had some really bad doctors! I am unhealthy and have a lot of specialists. Dr. Godell LISTENS! He acknowledges that I KNOW my own body, and he works with me and me with him because we have mutual respect! I would NEVER change to another doctor. He’s the best doctor and diagnostician I have ever found in CA and TX! Thanks, Dr. Godell!!!”

Thank you for everything.”
