Central Texas Colon and Rectal Surgeons

Dr. Graves is the best… Sorry if I misspell it. Him and his M.A.were polite, he got straight to the point and they made sure I was comfortable. He was quick with getting my surgery scheduled. After 3 months of horrible pain and Doctor after Doctor. I finally felt like he understood me and how bad off I was. I work in a doctors office and they’re staff wasn’t rude they asked if I was ok due to how I was walking but yeah so far an amazing experience.

One word for Dr. April Fox… amazing. So glad I didn’t let first impressions with office staff affect my decision to be seen by her. I liked her so much I forwarded her info to my female colleagues… for me referring a hiney doc that says alot! If you’re looking for a female doc for areas down below… see Dr. April Fox.

I am one of Dr. Cline’s patients, but have been seen by Dr. Mangioni (not sure if thats the correct spelling, sorry). Cline literally saved my life. He has AMAZING bedside manner. The first time I met him I was really ill and scared about having a total colectomy, jpouch, and both temporary loop and typical end ostomy, plus accessed fistula repair and seton placement. He is very well educated, and not afraid to tell you if he doesn’t know. When he doesn’t, he always researches and talks with his coworkers until he can find you an answer. He works well with my gastroenterologist and keeps updated with her. They just redecorated the facility, and while I haven’t seen it, my hubby says it looked nice when he had to go pick up a script. I am usually able to get a hold of his nurse easily. I do wish they had a way to email them though. Dr. Cline and the staff have never made me feel uncomfortable and are always friendly. I visit so often they know me by my face now. I highly recommend them to anyone with digestive issues.
I saw all the post about Erin. And while I am disappointed in her action, I feel, as a wife of a veteran, and as an individual who’s family is basically all Aggies (I lived in CS for a while as well), I think it was a sad and horrible mistake. She appears young and hopefully has learned her lesson. However, I feel that saying the entire business is horrible based on the actions of one employee is rather harsh. We have all been young and foolish, but as I was always told don’t throw rocks unless you yourself are sinless. Forgive, don’t forget, but forgive. No point in saying the whole tree of apples is bad when you find just one bad apple. Hope no one hates me for this, but its a free country so bash me if you think I’m «unpatriotic.» I just think forgiveness is the better and higher road to take.

This review is on Dr. David Fleeger, located on Medical Pkwy, Colon and Rectal Surgeon. It has taken me a long time to write this review as the experience was just that bad, but I need to warn others before they choose him as their doctor. I saw Dr. Fleeger in March 2013 for severe rectal pain. I have had chronic colon/​rectal problems for many years and it is always an embarrassing, humiliating, problem to deal with. I have had wonderful techs, doctors, and other specialists in this area who understood this and who were very gentle during procedures and appointments. This was not to be the case in Dr. Fleeger’s office. After presenting my history, we proceeded with the exam. They knew I was in pain before the appointment, but showed no sign of compassion, tenderness, sympathy, or anything close to a bedside manner during the exam. The doctor was very rough and I was crying and holding onto the edges of the table until my hands hurt. He diagnosed a chronic anal fissure and his tone was one of anger that left me feeling very stupid for not realizing the problem before now. He paid no attention to how much he was hurting me and never apologized. His nurse stood beside me, never offering any sign of compassion or concern. She didn’t offer to hold my hand, just stared at me also making me feel very bad about myself. He prescribed some cream and I went to my car and just cried from the physical and emotional pain I had just experienced. I have had natural childbirth twice and a kidney stone, so I have a pretty high threshold for pain, but this went beyond physical pain because of their attitudes. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone, ever. I don’t even think he should be a doctor. Try someone else!

Dr. Fox is one of the sweetest, smartest, and most professional physicians I have encountered — and I have been to many. I never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable in her presence, and she tried all possible options before performing my surgery. She was readily available for questions and follow-​up appointments when I had concerns about the healing process. I would highly recommend her should you find yourself in a situation where you need a colorectal surgeon.

Dr. Fleeger, Dr. Robertson, and staff are wonderful. They are very caring, knowledgable, and professional. I plan to move out of the area in a year or so, and I do not look forward to the search of new Doctors’, because I know they are the best.

Dr. David Fleeger saved my life. I was mortified and frightened to find myself there with colon cancer. After chemo and radiation, Dr. Fleeger performed a colon resection. He removed all 27 lymph nodes. This is important. A lot of doctors would have only removed 10 or so, leaving 17 that could have cancer. Thank goodness only one lymph node was cancerous, and bless him for being so conservative with my care. I’m free and clear now, after some more chemo to reduce the chance of recurrence. He also removed my appendix while he was at it. He could have only done better had he done a tummy tuck while he was in there!
