Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Expert, personalized care
Dr. Alcocer is very thorough, listening carefully to my condition update, and then asking detailed questions. He is also treating me conservatively, appropriate to my years and other conditions, by monitoring the problem w frequent blood work and scans. I appreciate that surgery was not his first option, as it is with many surgeons. I am confident that I am getting the latest and most experienced care in Central Texas.

Biopsy
Dr Alcocer was very informative and discussed all aspects. My only small complaint, and I must say I’m not a patient person, so I would have preferred a more hurried approach in obtaining the biopsy slide. I just feel my case was put on a more routine case. I would preferred a more aggressive approach.

Definitely recommend
So far, I’ve only had a telehealth appointment with Dr. Alocer, but based on that I would absolutely recommend him. I’ve dealt with more than my fair share of doctors, and I liked that Dr. Alocer asked questions, seemed interested, and told me exactly how to access the colonoscopy prep instructions on the website. He was thorough, and friendly. It took the schedulers a few days to call me, but that’s pretty normal.

Great Gastro!
I really like how he explains issues, and takes the time to listen. I had a scheduled endoscopy with ultrasound, but he also resolved another issue I had in short conversation. Thanks Doc.

He listens and solves whatever issue is at hand. My follow up issue was the cost of the ulcer medication - he found a different medication that I, who lives only on Social Security, could afford. Thank you Dr Alcocer and your right hand lady - Lee.
