This is the first time I've ever frequented this office or doctor. The wait was a little long, but one of the staff members mentioned (without me saying anything re: the wait or how busy it was), "I'm sorry for the wait. This is our busiest day." If you don't go on the busiest day, your wait will likely be much less. Aside from the slight wait - first to be seen (about 45 minutes) then after the appointment to check out (about 15 minutes), everything else was excellent! The location was convenient to my home. This is just one of many locations around San Antonio so there is likely one near you. The staff was friendly, professional, efficient, and helpful. The doctor was excellent in all areas. Sadly, I learned upon checking out that he is retiring soon. I can't vouch for the other doctors, but if they are anything like the one I saw today, I would definitely recommend this business/location.

Friendly staff, my wait time was a bit long (30 minutes). Once I was taken to the back, Dr. Roberts saw me right away and was very attentive. He communicated very clearly to me as I explained my condition. Good experience - I'd recommend Dr. Roberts to my friends and family.
