I love the doctors and nurses at this Waco Gastro. Here I feel like they treat you like a person, not a head of cattle or just number for dollar signs. Dr. Rives does just exactly what him and I had planned with nothing less or further and has ALWAYS been upfront about what can happen and what the next steps should be. Not once under their care have I ever been scared of any of the treatments or procedures that has been done here. I really commed them for the way they treat their patients, their discussions on what can be done, and their followups about the patients after their procedures. You never really have to want to go to the doctor, but glad there are individuals like the staff here that can make a doctor's visit seem more of a visit to a friend and helps you to understand what's going on why certain things need to be done. I would recommend this office and all of their staff to anyone.
